Identifying males

[BOOL]

How do i tell which plants are male and which ones are female before the males flowers open? and why is this so important?

[magic_mush88]

hey the dif between then males and females is that the males pollinate the females. You normally go to concept420 for more info on it.

It is important not to mix males with females, because the male will pollinate the females, turning them into low THC content weed, thats full of seeds and not much else.

[magic_mush88]

Well if you wanted to get more seeds wouldn't you want to mix them?

[Dr. Greenthumb]

not if the weed isnt as strong

[Weedguru Higher]

Yes, if the purpose of your growing is that.

But you can't get both good bud and seeds from the same crop. You could grow 2 patches, which are far from each other cause the pollen can travel quite a distance through the air

You can harvest hunderds and thousands of seeds just from a few plants.

wut do uusually do with the leaves?

[Weedguru Higher]

Boil it into hash oil

[Dr. Greenthumb]

can u kinda explain that process to me and how u smoke it?

[Weedguru Higher]

It's a complicated, dangerous process. When done properly you basically boil the leaves in Naphta gas (camping fuel) or alcolhol for a certain lenght of time.THen you strain the leaves (or the mush thats left!) You're gonna be puring this into a big metal boil. At this point it's a liquid as water, but dark in color. You then heat the stuff with a hairdryer, all while stirring, so as too evaporate the gas. The goal is to remove the most gas possible, leaving the hash oil stuck to the sides of the bowl. It'll leave a sticky , hardish mess on the the bottom and sides of the bowl, which you can scrape of with a razor blade of putty knife. And "VOILA" you have hash oil.

Mind you, I have simplifed the explanation a bit, so don't go trying what I just said...It's very explosive. You're dealing with gas vapors and a red hot burner...Get my point?

Hash oil can be smoked several ways. You can wipe it onto the inside of a rolly paper, then fill the paper with weed or tobacco. Or you can use a bong, or just drop a small bit on the tip of a lit cigarette and inhale..or hot knives...there's lots of ways.

Oh ya, and hash oil is not supposed to be green as one may think. If it's green that mean the leaves were not dry enough ( I forgot to mention its done with DRIED leaves )...If they're too fresh, then the green color is chlorophyll and it gives you one hell of a head ache. In a cap it should look dark brownish like, and when you spread a thin layer on a paper, you should see a golden like color too it.

thats sounds cool but they dont sell that here in miami i wanna smoke it maybe i start tryin that when i get my own place

[Weedguru Higher]

Um...did I forget to mention this is not something you really want to do in your house or apartment? Best is to be in a little shed, somewhere secluded in case of explosion. I'm serious, I have 3 buddies who have exploded doing it, and you hear it often on the news. 2 of them are seriously scarred today. Some unfortunate producers have done it in apartment complexes actually killing other tenants in the explosion.

It's not something you can learn just from reading directions. You have to be taught it by someone who knows what they're doing. There' certain techniques that just can't be explained...its a hands on thing. Even then the majority of the people never fully master it anyways.


There is a less volatile method to do it..though not as easy and you can do large quantites, but it can do the trick for a gram or 2. It's too done with Naphta or you can replace it with rubbing alcohol. No heating is envolved, so theres no danger of explosion

[Dr. Greenthumb]

yeah maybe i dont try it

[Dr. Greenthumb]

wut kind of hi do u get from smokin the oil?
