i'm not sure, what do the sacs look like now? if it were me i wouldent risk it at all but it doesn't seem like a mature enough plant to produce pollen. the butane method is best. if you have extra $$ a honey bee extractor system or ice-o-later/ bubble hash system works best for male hash!! you'll want to use the nodes that produce the pollen sacs, any nearby leaves, and any trimmings left from your females.

there was another cool thing i've seen before, where this dude just pollenated the bottom half of his female for seeds, still getting a good yield off of the top cola and rest of the plant!

I just read about that, but doesnt it still cut the THC %? because the plant had to work to make the seeds?

If you want to make seeds you need to get your plant under another light in another room on the 12/12 schedule then when it starts to produce pollen gently slip a bag over one of the branches hold it tight and cut it off, then take a female plant within the first 4 weeks or 5 at the latest I think and put it in another room like the bathroom and then take that bag with the male part and put it over one of your flowers and tie it tight for a couple hours then take it off and mist it with a little bit of water and return it to the flower room and that one branch should produce you some nice seeds.

Thanks man!

Im gunna leave it in there for tonight and take it out in the morning, and maybe put it in my backyard and collect its pollen. and I know for a fact no one is growing here. lol

if i cant find a "safe" place to put it out there Ill chop it down and attempt to make a little hash oil out of it. even though ive read males dont have much THC.


Lol your sig tripped me out, I thought the bug was on my screen

So ive been buying gallons of distilled water, 87 cents a gallon, after a while its get expensive, so im experimenting with my tap water,

The ph of my tap is pretty damn high, so im using vinegar to lower it, I filled a empty gallon container with the tap water and added a small amount of vinegar
and did my drops and it seemed to lower it to about 6.8. im letting it sit for 24 hours and ill test it again. and add more if needed (:

Well if your looking for a great mix for your plants I would use subcools soil mix for flowering and I use a custom mix from my guy I get my stuff from its basicly pro mix 4 but cheaper because we make it. You should check out subcools method of growing the guy is a expert.

Cool green thumb I'm a Washington resident myself.
Those sacs didint look too mature so I think your fine. If you don't like the strain so well and don't want to make just another generation of NL, save the pollen till your next grow and cross it to make your own strain!! And even though there isent much THC on male plants, you are harvesting all of it instead of just throwing it away.

Like women do in the real world, use that male plant for all its worth!! hahahaha
