i don't know much, but i know that you can collect the pollen and save it for cross-breeding at a later time. you can also collect the leaves for juicing and use the stems and roots to make balm.

You can dry the leaves and use them to roll joints. I wouldn't risk having a male in the grow room unless you're breeding.
Storing pollen is an extremely difficult process (freezing,thawing,proper equipment,preventing moisture) the list goes on. If you have breeding in mind and have the equipment and know-how to store it, go for it.

- Got my first buds of the winter season.
Only question is that are these male or female buds? I'd reckon they're male cuz I don't see any pistols, mostly grape like formations... cuz if they are male I guess I'd have to hack it asap.

No, them can help make other strains (seeds) by their pollen, but for smoking not worth very much Just like Mother Naturer: Male plants are good for only on thing , making babies - and as some folks say so we ( males) are only good for one thing also!!!!!!! just a thought

Uh yeah!!!!! get them away from the girls or your gonna be having some knocked up broads. Those look like they are ready to release pollen. The thing to ok or are little and round right in between the stem and node. as soon as I see one ball even its chop time better safe than sorry

Yep, a male, and when I saw all those little white specks on the leaves my first thought was "mites".
For what it's worth, you CAN smoke the leaves from a male plant. I tried with a couple males I pulled just before the pollen sacks opened, which I dried for a couple weeks and bagged - believe it or not I DID get a good head buzz from it. So I am not throwing them away anymore.

Cool. Thanks a lot for the tips. It is sadly gonna be the chop
But I'll try using the leaves for tea or grind them up and re use them as a fertilizer or something
