hey y'all. hows it going? at first glance and the thread title might it might look like it should be in the growing section but its not. anyway-
So, my newest crop has begun to show/confirm their sex, i had 11 plants and now im down to 8(which is good in a way cuz I needed the room). I still have such a hard time killing males, they are like a pet to me(all plants,not just males). lol. you feed em and take care of em and all that and ithen have to kill em. how about you guys? lol

I always keep one to breed, thats why my shit gets more crazy every year I have old seed stock that I give to friends Iv been inbreeding from a nice fast satvia hybred for a lot of outdoor seasons. its not the most potent bud I ever, saw but it does not get mold or spider mites and is always finishes in mid sept like clockwork I'm down to 3 phenos from seamingly random

i feel bad killing any living thing :( but i use the males anyway...i vaped them. ALL of them. they were super friggin potent too. obviously you need a higher amount of leaves to get a buzz than with bud...but the high was just as potent :D

I'm sexing my plants right now. I've got a giant plant I'm guessing is a male, it's got fan leaves bigger than my hand. Gonna save a leaf or two for keepsake and hack that sucker right into the trash! What else can you do? Nadda.

thanks for stopping by everyone! i've been busy and havent been on the last few days. I've tried to give my cats the males from previous grows and very oddly they will not touch them. I really dont understand why though, they love to sit and paw at the door to my grow area, then again though i do yell at them and spray them w/water if they try to fuck w/the plants at all when ive got them out for watering or whatever. I'm down to 6 plants now(which is perfect), the 4 biggest plants all ended up being females. as for hash/vaping them-do you guys mean let them grow out and complete their lifec ycle or do you mean the newly confirmed males? I dont really see how you could get anything from them at this point. well, thanks again guys for coming by. I'll be +repping as many of you guys as i can till i run out for today.

yeah, I hate to kill the males too but the problem with growing males is they make pollen and seed up your gals. I dont really consider some weak cannabutter worthwhile if it means my gals are all gonna suffer in potency and yeild too.

I hated doing this when I was newer grower. Plus, the males always seem to be the biggest, healthiest ones. Now I just kill the things. I have a few favorite ways. Best way is to let the cats eat them! Let them get it out of their systems. Sometimes I crumple them up in a paper ball. Sometimes I stomp on them and grind the life out of them. Now that it's warmer, I will be planting them anywhere I can around the area just for fun.
