I started my first inside after I lost everything to floods. I am out of meds and have a bunch of males that are 6 weeks old. I do not think they would make hash and i do not have bubble bags. should I make butter with them? stems and all? is it worth putting them in crock pot? the plants are about 2 foot tall and real bushy and i do not need to make seeds for a long time

Throw them out...or find some females to breed with to get some seeds I guess. Males don't produce buds, just pollen. You can't smoke them and get high. Unless you breed and want seeds they are no good to you.

check them with a scope, if there's trichs they aren't total trash , males produce thc early on in the leaves.

I do not want to smoke them, been there done that years ago. I just want to know if its worth to try to make butter with them.

nope, no tricromes on males...they don't produce enough THC and Cannabinoids that get you high. It's hard to throw them out after nursing them to into beautiful plants, but they got nothing for you except pollen to produce seeds. You will probably be wasting butter...butter is expensive.

yep, they sure do and always have. early on, the leaves.

The only real way to see if they've produced trichomes is to look at them with a scope, if you see none they're worthless for consuming.

the stems are full of hairs. I have got high off smoking the leaves years ago,but harsh as shit and after smoking cigs for 20 years no way my lungs can take that. I know they are not loaded like a female would be,but anything at this time would be better then nothing

of course the ratio of veg matter and thc is gonna be real small so everyone is probably right.

God I'd hate to be at your point, I haven't been there for a decade and that was brief.

sounds pretty much like what he may as well do although pollen isn't totally worthless.

yeah been a long time for me to, fucking floods wiped me out :-( only my two seed plants i had high and dry made it. Looks like i will just toss the males out and suffer till the autos are ready in 30 more days. over 15 years of growing outside and this is the first year I got nothing

Thanks guys, was kinda looking farward to making butter for the first time,but looks like I am a good 8 weeks away from having anything good for that.

maybe he can scrape all the pollen up and snort it....
no no, the pollen would be from a legit or at least semi legit male since genetics aren't really known, not being from a hermie, brush that on a nice female of some kind and toss a baggy over the area and you just created your own strain. and truthfully seed isn't cheap

no I do not need that shit flying around my house. I have more bag seed then I will ever use. Went crazy getting good seeds from tude that will last me many cycles,but started with bag seed to make sure they would live and not waste good seeds
