so iwas wondering if you should do that or not. I was wondering if you should take the males and hit them against the femals when ready. i didnt do that for oneof my plants and it came out short and very bushy with buds. So i was wondering wat would be better to do, either that or take the males somewhere else and keep them away as soon as the plants show sex.and any other growing tips would be helpful. im growing in the woods in 5 gallon buckets by some trees. I have 6 in buckets then in the middle i have 2 plants growing right outa the ground.

if you are trying to get seeds you want to pollenate.....but if you are after pure sensi...kill the males....place a plastic bag over them to keep pollen from getting on any females when you remove them...then kill them.........

so wats the point of taking the plants and hitting the females with the males to pollenate them? will they get better buds if u leave them pure female?

pollenating will give you seeds ..thats it....you dont want to pollenate unless you are trying to get more seeds...thats it....and yes...hitting the plant is pollenating....if you are after good smokable bud you dont want to do this.....

I have never pollenated plants on purpose but from my experience my buds are bigger and more potent without seeds. (sensemillia)

Once pollinated the plant diverts energy to seed production. Potency and yield are diminished.
