Male plants, why bad?

  1. Im guessing this has been asked before but why are male plants a bad thing and need to be pulled up? Ive heard there pollen is a bad thing aswell?
     
  2. They produce pollen, which when in contact with a female plant causes it to spend energy creating seeds which causes it to lose potency among other things....

    And males have a THC content so low its pretty useless.... they are really only kept around when breeding... the female is what you smoke hahahhaha
     
  3. Males don't produce buds but pollen sacks instead and males can impregnate all the other females and you'll be stuck with lots of seeds and not so good bud
     
  4. Male Plants will pollinate your females, meaning that the fem plant will put energy into seed development. This will reduce your bud yield. And if you try to smoke males, you will end up with a mondo headache.
     
  5. Ok i get it now thanks, im thinking of throwing a few seeds around a quiet little spot near where i live
