After a long season i missed a 10 foot tall male plant...and it was to late. It pollinated my entire 20 plant crop. some girls are looking nice, but some are almost all seed.

Question: What is the best way to salvage all THC??

Im thinking bubble bags.. what do you think?

Please don't take this the wrong way, because I'm a rank novice and this is just intended to help me and other newbies avoid similar pitfalls:

How did that even happen?

Don't male plants look significantly different by, say, week 2 of flower; enough that you could chop em? Was this plant hidden in some way, or did it hermie?

Were the plants all the same strain, or have you created a sweet new cross :eyesmoke:

bubble bags for sure... I highly recommend you get all the seeds out first and do it over a g ood surface that you can scrape all the trichombs and shiz into your container.

I've heard that pollinated bud can actually be more potent than unpollinated bud... you wont be dissapointed with the hash bro. this is how people in other countries have been doing it for 1000s of years.


and yeah, you're also going to have 1st generation (or 2nd if you've grwn that strain in this area before) climatization.. which will cause the next generation to grow faster in the same climate, and flower on time ;). it gets better and better and better as the years go on...

that's why breeding outdoors is much more ideal, even though it takes MUCH longer than breeding indoors, the results are much more dramatic... not saying indoor breeders aren't good, I love the strains that have resulted from it, just sayin if some of these breeders had time and the ability to grow outdoors they'd have some even more amazing shit.

It was MY OWN fault, i had thought i culled all the males. I didnt want to believe that my largest plant was a male, and it was showing sex later then all the others. I let it grow for 2 weeks and then i went back, but it was to late, he had grown even taller and when i chopped him down it started raining pollen.

the strains I am using are bubbleliscous, blueberry, amnesia, cheese, SLH, and then a couple seeds i had from the previous grow in the same spot, half were very indica dominant, and have large nugs and trics, the other half are super tall sativas.
the sativas had a hard time finishing last year, but maybe this year they will be better because they would be 2nd gen, and then their seeds would be 3rd gen..right?

Thanks, where do you buy your bags? i found a set online for about a hundred.. Do you know how much hash i should get from a pound of decent buds, obviously very seedy?

ive never made hash before so any tips would be nice!

I swear by these bags

not that bad. seeds are worth alot. take pictures of the plants the seeds came from for proof when u go sell / trade seeds. also u can start the seeds in cups full of seeds starter mix and then donate them for very low cost$ and still it will add up when u have so many seeds lol u didnt say how big ur females are but not that small i guess if ur male was 10 foot. also now u will have lots of seeds to start like a 100 at a time and only keep the best 10-20 or however many u want and u will get faster plants like that

i like this idea...at first i was thinking along the lines of a total loss on this year, but i didnt think about the genetics that i will have after this.

Some of these females are extremely impressive, for example:

out of all the indica dominate genetics, some started flowering 2 weeks earlier then the rest, and also have outstanding nugget formation. I FIMd and LST them all, and most have at least 20 tops, all at the same level, with rock hard nugs. My favorite out of the bunch looks like the rocklock strain, and is quite sticky.

a few of the colorful strains are purple, and one has pink pistols

the bubbleliscous female is a massive LSTd bush 5 feet tall 4 feet around

and the sativas are quite obvious looking there tall and pretty. All organic and in the ground BTW.
