what can I do with male plants besides tossing them in the trash heap?

[samnsara]

...gosh darn it the last grow of the season..(and REALLY pushing it)... and 2 of the 5 plants I have switched from veg to flower ( I have a BC Northern Lights Hydro grow box)..are males. ( The 3 females will flower in 6 weeks and after that I will shut the box down til April. One of the male plants has the largest fan leaves I have ever seen! Im SO SAD. Is there anything male plants are good for except the obvious and the trash heap. I already have 2 cups of seeds from last year. Has anyone used large fan leaves to roll with?

2. You could collect some pollen and save it by putting it in a ziploc and freezing it.

Save some for when you decide to breed.

You could also shake some over an envelope and send it to me.

3. if u have a juicer, juice them!

The taste is very green - kinda like a wheatgrass shot. Add apples, carrots and ginger - YUM !

5. pollinate some plants, make some seeds and be self sufficient forever

use your best males on your best females.

8. KUSH KREME! just came to me in a dream.. stripped the guys and submerged them in..

a large glass mayo jar covered in alcohol and will store in a dark closet for 3 months. Strain and mix the liquid with lotion. My provider who is a Naturapath (sp) gave me that recipe. I feel much better about doing this than letting them rot in the garbage.
