Male Canabis Plant 

The sole purpose of a male cannabis plant is to pollinate female cannabis plants in order to create seeds. In addition to F1 (first generation) and F2 (second generation) seeds - F3, F4, and so on. There are also S1 seeds. The “S” in this case refers to “self” or “selfed”, meaning that these seeds will be selfed-generation. They do not need a male plant for pollen but rather, the male plant is reversed so that pollen can be collected. The pollen will then be used to pollinate the mother plant or a clone of the mother to get S1 seeds. Males can be selfed as well, but in both cases it’s a complex process that requires great focus from even the most experienced breeders.

Male Flower (Mid-Stage)-To grow the best cannabis it is essential to remove and destroy all male plants. When males pollinate females, the female uses most of her energy into creating strong, healthy seeds. In turn, she will have lower amounts of THC and overall poor quality. Males are more often to appear in lower pH conditions, so it is important to keep your soil between 6.0 and 7 at all times (if you are using soil). Depending on strain, most males will be your tallest plants, and usually appear very lanky. When growing Auto-flower, males normally show themselves first (around 20 days after germination). When cross-breeding, the newly developed seeds will usually have more of its mothers characteristics.
