    Hello, first timer here. I have two plants, lemon haze, one is like a week behind the other. Ive kept them together, because im pretty sure ive seen pistils on both but the older one is now showing balls? they are oval in shape, and look like they are gonna split, also i cant tell if the hairs are coming out of the sacs or are just on both sides of the sacs. Ive included pics, im on week 6 and been on 12/12 for maybe 4 days. I put them outside during the day, they get a little artificial light in my growbox in the morning, maybe 2-3 hours as the sun is coming up. Im using happy frog from fox farms, with tomato fertilizer at half, think its a 4-10-6 and they got a dose of epson salt like 2 days ago which made them very green. Im looking at keeping them seperate, maybe them having opposite light schedules to keep them apart? I can keep one in closet for darktime and the other in growbox, idk if i can put one on one side of the yard and the other on the other side for daylight hours if i dont go opposite? ive only included pics of the older one because the younger one has more pistils no sacs yet. any help is appreciated i tried to take good pics...

    The poor quality of the photos makes it hard to tell if your male is shedding pollen yet. However, as far as I can tell, the male flowers do not appear to have opened yet (they will look like normal flowers). So get him out of there NOW!

    I would remove the branches and toss the rest on a cookie sheet into a 220 oven until it was crispy dry. Then jar it up and add a few drops of water. Then give it a try. It is a stoner myth that males are "worthless"! Depending on the strain, they can be as potent as their sisters, as noted in the landrace Moroccan plants.

    "In addition, the present study establishes that male plants, often considered deficient in delta-9-THC, contain levels of the same order as those recorded for female plants, both in the leaves and in the tops."

    thank you so much, im thinking i should harvest the seeds? i have one outside and one in growbox, the confirmed male is in the growbox cuz i figure ill need to sanitize it before i can use it on the other plant i hope is female. I appreciate the tip on using the leftovers because i have my medical card, but broke broke broke and always like to smoke. how and when should i collect seeds? after i sanitize everything i want to give it another go, it seems seeds are pricey i would really like to get some. do i have to prepare the seeds once collected? its unclear to me if those pods are just pollen or are they seed already? Thank you so much
