Male or Female?

Hi everyone,

I am new to growing marijuana and started flowering them about a week ago. My best looking plants started to show signs of flowering and I think that they are males:-(:cuss:
I removed them from the grow room but don't know what to do with them. I'm reluctant to destroy them until I'm sure they are males. I have attached soe pics and hopefully someone can confirm for sure that they are males.

Thanks

Collect pollen then cull, you will never know when you want to dry dusting one of your ladies and getting your own seeds. This is a natural progression for a herb grower, sooner or later you will want to try and pollinate, collect pollen now and store it for later; your halfway there to becoming a pollen chucker'

How exactly do you take the pollen from the male and induce it to the female? I've not gotten that far yet, still cloning and whatnot. This is more of a breeding question I know, just curious.

There are some good threads here about collecting pollen -- since they're all males you certainly can without hurting your crop, but pollen can hide out in your grow space long after the plants are gone and could pollenate your next crop, or two, or three...

So unless you can move them to a second grow area to wait for the pollen sacs to burst, you might not want to go through the effort.
