Hash and males

Discussion in 'Advanced Growing Techniques' started by guitargod45, Aug 25, 2006.

  1. I know that males dont have a whole lot of THC in them. but im curious as to how much THC a male plant would be worth if i made hash out of it compared to a female. I know i should jus trash the male before it pollinates my females, but just throwing away a weed plant seems like such a big waste, so ill make hash out of it if it is even worth it.
     
  2. I would, why not?

    Itll be better than just wasting it..
     
  3. heres 4 very sticky to the touch males i had that were just about to explode with flowers...
    and the resulting ice hash...
    not top notch but not bad...i was glad of it at the time....
    if you only have one plant i would probbly look at butter or something...you really dont get much with hash....

    EDITED to add: but still 10X better than soapbar for all you ukers out there....

  4. I once extracted the oil from two 18 inch tall males using butane and got a very decent ammount out of them. It was POTENT too.
     
  5. Hey DO you know of a thread on how to turn your males into something useable? Thanks

  8. looking at the chart, I would say separate the males but DON'T kill them - keep them growing until they are about to release pollen, then harvest for hash ;)
     
  9. do you just put pollen sacs and all into the mix when you make the hash? also how do you know when the male is gonna release pollen soon, when the big sacs bust open to show the bunch of lil bannanas?
     
  10. Even if I get get 1g from my male I will make bubble hash with them FOR SURE! :)
     

  11. Use all the male veg apart from the stems & roots obviously.......
    keep a close eye on the male 'flowers' as the thc content drops off sharply after the pollen sacs have burst.
     
  12. is it better if the leaves are dry or not when making hash?
     
  13. yes but not so dry that they just go to a powder otherwise u will get too much veg matter passing thru ur screen (if ur using a screen) & it will contaminate the hash & make it taste like shit = cough a lot :/
     
  14. hey ive been looking into it and i cant really find anything that will straight up tell you how to make hashish. Can anyone help me out plz? thx
     
  15. Well, there are different kinds of hash, theres; bubblehash, hash oil etc. But all you need to do is sift a bunch of weed through a silk screen, to collect the kif. Then all you do is take the kif and press it with a pollen press. Or you can find other ways to press it, just use the search button
     
  16. Extract the oils using butane (sounds nasty but it's actually really clean).

    Check these out:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butane_hash_oil

    The only by-products of burning butane are water vapor and CO2 si it's pretty safe. Just make sure you buy a good quality brand of butane (King is a really good one).

    And instead of using a coffee grinder, you can just dry out the bud really, really dry and crumble it with your fingers.
