Males: Kill Them and Dump the Body or Make Use of Them?

I was just wondering- for a person who is trying to get the MOST out of their
grow, what is the best thing to do with males? Should I just get rid of them?
Is there a fairly easy way to hash them or something , and is it worth it?

I was thinking about letting them get as big as possible before they get to the point of seeding everything , and them pulling them to turn them into something useful. I haven't sexed my grow yet so this is for future reference.

Thoughts?

Yeah I am going to keep at least 1 male for seeding SOME of the bud.
I think I may cut of some of the branches so it doosent release so much pollen, or I'll just try to harvest pollen as fdd did.

cut the balls off the males.
its a tidious work but it will keep your females from turning to dirt weed. however be careful because all it takes is one male flower to pollenate and wreck a female

I have always said that men ... I mean male plants are good for very little. Cut them up and compost their dead bodies.

ehh...throw them away..what THC is in the male plant is so small it'll serve no purpose...and don't bother using the seeds...if you're growing and have a female plant around...and you're content with the buds being produced, make clones
