say i had 20 plants and 10 turned out to be male, how much stronger is the weed with no seeds to weed with them.
It is much more potent without seeds. Only because when a female is pollinated all the plants energy goes into producing seeds and not bud or THC. Kill the males!
Can someone tell me how much the yield and potency will be affected. And how many seeds will there be if there is 7 females out of 10
It takes one grain of pollen to trigger seed production, so even one male can ruin a forest. Get the males out ASAP unless you're trying to breed for seeds. Yield and potency will be greatly affected, as the plants will focus energy on producing seeds to propagate itself instead of trichromes to attract pollen.
The potency question is debatable. I've heard some claim that pollinated buds are more potent gram for gram -- remember that THC is a UV protection above all, and so the argument goes that the plant works harder to protect the seeds so produces more THC. I don't really know, and no matter. Whether the yield is more or less potent gram for gram isn't really the issue. The real issue is that pollinated bud definitely yields a lot less because of the amount of the bud that is unsmokable seeds. So if it is smoke you are looking for then unpollinated is definitely the way to go. As said earlier, separate the males asap unless you want seeds for future grows, and even then you are better off manually pollinating select buds rather than getting the entirety of all your females pollinated.
Do you think you can roughly tell me how many seeds you can get from a plant. What if there flower pods have opened allready is it too late ????
dude. if u have males please pull them... u can effect other ppls crops from the pollen from ur plants ... u can pollinate every weed plant in ur neighborhood theoretically if u dont... maybe even the world!! think about the others bro!!!! lol
You can get thousandths of seeds????? The seeds i had to start them cost me 100 for 15 of them, so im just gonna leave the males and go nuts with planting next year.
