Male cannabis can you smoke

If it has THC, then, in theory, you should be able to get high if you smoke enough of it. With that said, I do not know the implication of smoking pollen so I want to go on record as saying I advise against it. Why would someone want to smoke pollen in particular? I have no idea. I think the important question is how and why do you have a stash of cannabis pollen sitting around?

These are the things that keep me up at night. Since male plants contain smaller amounts of THC and other cannabinoids you would have to smoke a lot of it. This may put a strain on your respiratory system which is why concentrating it down may be a better solution. You can make hash, oil concentrates, edibles cannabutter or oil in the same way that you would use sugar leaves from a female plant.

You can search online and find hundreds of tutorials and recipes for working with sugar leaves or trim. Follow the same instructions, but substitute your male plants. For the most part, male plants a nuisance which should be eliminated from crops in order to prevent female plants from developing seeds. However, there are still some good uses for male plants. One Doctor, who was a Mr.

Cheers thanks for publication and ability to comment. Extremely helpful article, only got 7 plants of which 2 r male. Hi Seshata, you have some really interesting information in this article.

I have been growing Medical Cannabis for a few years now. I have and continue to allow males to grow as they are no less potent or effective than the females. This year, I am starting out with Auto Seeds and will feminize them myself…only because these plants are smaller and you want to get the most out of them.

Just wanted to share. Some people do not possess the enzymes in their gut which allow their body to metabolise THC. Try drinking pinapple juice with your edible. There is something about the chemical reaction from the enzymes in the juice that triggers the absorption of the edibles. We keep honeybee boxes within the temperature controlled grow area.

IG : robstriblen. Great article, very detailed information. Cannabis is an amazing beauiful plant. Its like a book that you cant stop reading. I think everyone should try cannabis in some form. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It was very helpful. I found out by accident the potency of male pollen sacks. I had run out of Cannabis Oil and had just noticed a male plant in full bloom with developed pollen sacks but not yet mature and I harvested the tips.

I made oil and as I am always the guinea pig before dosing for my husband, I got high, very high. Add to that the chlorophyll that is also very beneficial, we both enjoyed this medicine for 2 months before the females flowered. I prefer the effect of smoking male leaves to even smoking female bud. The buds are too strong for me, just just one of two hits off a male leaf and I feel great.

The same thing happened 5 or 6 times until the plant was done. When smoked they got me and a couple of friends pretty high. I was given a healthy small plant which has turned out to be male.

I put it in a large pot outside sunny location and it took off with no care but water. It has many light flowers all over it and I would like to use them. If I want to make butter, or juice or tea or an elixir, do I dry it first?

Or do I just boil it or bake it straight away? Thanks for any info on this. Thank you for your comment?

Yo which is super annoying lol. For a true novice like myself that grew 3 and got 3 males. What is the easiest use of a male. Edibles butter? I had gotten a few seeds and grew , 2 female and 1 male which I separated.

The male has gone crazy , massive and I feel so bad when my friend said just to get rid of it and throw it out after babying it for a while. I have read articles but since its new to me , I think I should hang on to My massive male and do some more reading? Does anyone have any suggestions … Or any other sites for suggestions? I just would hate to kill it as its so massive and so many pollen balls so Im re-thinking after reading some of your comments.

Scarlet, the forum you mentioned, are there some reliable sources for good seeds? The first attempt for me ended up being male. So I need to find a good source. The seeds I used just happened to have been found in so buds. Great post! I want to grow and juice my males but I have female cultivators for neighbors.

Will this affect them? Naw just try to be up wind if possible but usually a few meters separation is sufficient to avoid pollination:. Rather than get male plants, take cuttings from a female Mother plant and with a bit of hormone powder make as many clones as you like….

Great article. I pinched those off hoping that the leaves would be good for something. Help please. Does every different female strain have a male brother? Like white-widow male, or tangerine male, how else would you cross pollinate strains? Thank you for your comment and your question. If you are interested in this kind of topic, do check out the Sensi Seeds Forum , where many growers discuss our strains and different cultivation techniques.

Thank you for this information, very good article! I would have never known the value of males, everyone has always told me to throw them out. Their no good, now I can do my own experiments. Thanks again. For what I have read here is understand that the plant and the flowers are as unique and useful as the females. Any advice? Interesting uses for male. I have a bunch of bag seed of a good local strain.

I am thinking about trying to find a nice pheno in the batch. May keep a male or two to experiment with breeding. Thanks for sharing! I use the male plants to make a very deep and strong bhang lassie medicine! ONce I know what plants are male, I separate them and leave them in their intial pots, to grow a little slower than the transplanted females. The flowers and leaves are harvested, then I brew a tea, packed with the harvest a saucepan full of leaf with water just above the level of the leaves, boiled for 10 minutes and left to cool , save the tea, then crush the drained leaves and flowers with a little milk in a pestle and mortar, until the leaves are very pulpy, and squeeze the juice out.

I repeat this 4 more times with the milk because THC dissolves in milk and then combine the tea, the juice and the left over pulpy leaves in a blender. This then is a base for making lassie. It can be incredibly strong and the medicine goes deep into muscles, it is very relaxing and is an old indian recipe! Including Cannabis pollen in your green drinks adds another dimension to the healing of whole-plant nutrition.

By the sixth week, you should be able to find the pre-flowers and confidently determine the sex of your plant. Examine the nodes of the plant and look for either the early growth of small sacs on a male, or two bracts on a female, which will eventually produce the hair-like stigma.

Females are the prizes of cannabis plants—they are the ones that grow the buds that we all know and love. Anytime you see a picture of a cannabis plant with buds, you are looking at a female plant.

Female cannabis plants receive pollen from males to produce seeds, which will carry on the genetics of both plants to the next generation. This allows female plants to focus their energies on bud production instead of seed production. Male cannabis plants grow pollen sacs instead of buds.

Males are important in the breeding process, but that is generally best left to expert breeders. When pollinating females, males provide half of the genetic makeup inherited by seeds. Their shape, rate of growth, pest and mold resistance, and climate resilience can all be passed on to increase the quality of future generations. The rare hermaphroditic plant contains both female and male sex organs. These plants can sometimes self-pollinate, but this is typically bad as it will create buds with seeds and also pass on hermaphroditic genes.

Some stressors include:. While both result in pollen production, true hermaphrodite cannabis plants produce sacs that need to rupture; anthers are exposed, pollen-producing stamen. However, as you become more skilled, you will begin to find flaws with your bud.

For example, you may want it to be more resinous and potent. Alternatively, you might love it if the flowering stage ended a bit sooner. Fortunately, male cannabis plants are around to come to your rescue! As you know, their primary function is to breed seeds. With this in mind, do some digging into the genetics of the males in your garden. Do they grow quickly? Are they highly resistant to mold and pests? If so, these positive traits can be passed on to boost the quality of new generations.

When it comes to creating hemp fiber, there is no better option than male plants. This is mainly because of their firm and fibrous stalks. Males provide soft and fine fibers capable of weaving the most delicate fabrics.

Weaving might not be top of your list of hobbies! However, it is still cool to note that male plant fiber is the best option when making hemp products. Examples include tablecloths and clothing. Males are indeed far less potent than females. However, they still have THC, and thus, can have psychoactive properties. But you can find cannabinoids in their flowers, leaves, and stems. You can also benefit from a gentle buzz by drying and pressing the pollen you find in a male plant.

Incidentally, male plants have a higher THC concentration in their leaves than females during the vegetative growth phase.
