I appear having a male plant among my ladies!

The title pretty much says it all, for long I thought it was "she" but now I clearly see it is "he" ... The question is, can I cut off all his balls before they have grown up and pollinated my other ladies without damaging the plant in a deadly manner? I want to do this 'cause I know how to make some bubble hash but I do not have another room neither the resource to setup another room for this particular plant. And it is a whole bush, quite a big plant. I guess I can make off of him about 10 - 15 grams of hash and that is a bonus to the rest of hash I'll make anyway. :joint:

A male plant for hash? Not sure if u would get high because I don't think they have trichomes I would just cut it and burn it.... Is a male plant anyways..

I don't think it's worth your time. The male doesn't produce the trichromes you want for making bubble hash.

Male plants also contain THC just smaller amounts. I'm still curious will the plant die if I cut off his balls?
Your gonna have to stay on top of those balls lol. Even if you give him a vasectomy there's gonna be a lot of balls I would think I never let male plants grow, plus of you cut his balls and pollen gets on your fingers and you touch your girls, ull pollinate them.

Cutting off the pollen sacks will not kill it, but neither will it stop him from pollinating your girls.
More will grow. And in the process of cutting them off if just 1 particle of pollen breaches...
Say goodbye headie nugz and hello hempy seeds.

Hmm, I guess I'll play a dangerous game, in a separate room I'll remove ALL the male flowers and will look daily on the new growth of these. The more they grow the more I cut. That bush is over 140 cm in height and it's hell of a bush, that thing cost me already to much to just send it to the bin. :D

Thank you for all your answers, time and effort! :)

I would cut off circulation to that room and have fans blow out the window. Your A/C will pollinate plants from other rooms.

Cost you too much? Dude growing isn't free, it's always gonna cost you just have to bite the bullet. Why do you NEED to keep it if it cost that much then you really shouldn't be growing just my opinion.... All it costs was nutes and soil... Lights are free considering your girls had light anyways.. So if ur nutes and soil is that expensive then..just.......nevermind
