Harvesting and curing male upper leaves and shoots

As per Frank's and Rosenthal's Marijuana Grower's Guide, pages 61-67 & 285-289, I would like to try harvesting and curing some male leaves/shoots just prior to actual pollen development. Aside from the pollen risks does anyone have experienced and knowledgable input?
Thanks.

You may be right but I'd like to try it. Have you read the pages I listed? I figure if it worked for Frank & Rosenthal it's worth a try.



Any other helpful suggestions?

the next thing you could do is get ALOT of male flowers and make budder or another concentrate but again it isnt worth it

Male flowers produce pollen, not dope. If you want seeds, male plants are good. otherwise, even one male plant dumping pollen in an indoor growroom will pollinate every plant you have, and the free pollen will remain in the room until you clean it out thoroughly giving you random seeds for multiple grow cycles. It would be persistent like a mould infestation.

I can think of no good reason to grow a male plant unless you want seeds, or plan on cutting your shake with THC and CBD free leaf material. Believe me, if you could get anything other than pollen from a male plant nobody would remove them from their gardens.

you would have to use a huge amount of male plant foliage in a ridonkulously expensive and unprofitable alcohol extraction system to get even a tiny portion of useable cannabis extract. Im talking tons of male plant foliage and flowers and dozens of gallons of ethyl alcohol, for a two hitter of low grade hash.
