Okay I just read sidious' entire quick grow guide ... very helpful. I'm completely sorted on the whole setup now (with ventilation, co2, stuff like that) but there's still one thing that I'm unsure about.

I now know that male plants should be separated or killed off before they can pollenate the females. This sounds like a nasty waste of some good plants ... couldn't one simply cut off all the male pollen spores and prevent any seeds appearing in the female buds? Of course I would keep 2 males and a female for breeding in a separate area ... seeds are expensive =P

Then the males could be harvested right along side the females and added to the yeild ... or is it only unpollented female buds that produce good thc?

I promise this is my last question .. I really appreciate the help so far and every bit of it has counted!
