really it should be about ready to cut at any time but since its your only plant you might want to let it go longer to get the most from it. From what I understand the THC content peaks right when the pollen sacks are opening so dont keep it past that. The level of THC will vary depending on strain and other factors. Really you might need to add some bud if youre going to bake or make oil with it, but again it just depends. Sometimes u can get a good amount out of a mature male. Do some research on checking for trichomes l

Nope, they are male flowers. You could just cut it down now and bake with it, no point keeping it going for what you will get from it, that is unless you want to harvest the pollen, then when you get a female, you can paint the buds with pollen to make your own seeds / strains. If it were me, i'd pull it now and make oil or butter.
Wish i could give you a nice female cutting, sucks to find out after so much time and effort you only get a cake out of it :-(

i think im just gonna keep it growing and see what happens. been looking after it for to long just to cut it down now. when i pick of a few of the sacks they have like a white substance inside them. is that whats supposed to be there? is that the pollen? and is it easy to make hash out of the plant coz ive never done it before. easy

to make hash it needs a lot of trichomes. Trichomes are the little things that normal people call crystals or THC crystals. At least thats what people call them where I'm from. If there's a ton of them you can see them just by looking, but on a male u will probably have to get yourself a magnifying glass. They look like tiny shiny mushrooms. When u make hash you are separating the trichomes from the plant. Its the same thing as keif if you've heard of keif, only with hash you press or bake it into a bar or ball.

If you dont have a lot of trichomes you should bake or make oil instead. I do that with my males because there is THC in the plant parts that will not be used when you make hash

thanks for the help people. i just woke up today and took a look at my plant. and there are deffinately loadsa white hairs coming through. it looks like the balls came before the white hairs (pistils). but now i dont no if i should pick the balls off or wait for them to get a bit bigger before i take them off. there are so many. like to many haha. if i leave them on will it fuck up the female parts of the plant? i think it is supposed to be thai weed too. not to sure. thanks, easy
