Should I Cull Males for Tincture?

[wyrman]

Was wondering if anyone has input on whether I should eliminate male plants if my grow is going to be used to make tincture? I do not plan on breeding or using any of this for smoking. The entire yield will go in my tincture. Any input would be appreciated.

Your potency will drop drastically, meaning you get a LOT less medicine to go into your tincture, as the energy your plant would "normally" spend producing canabinoids is spent creating seeds, instead.

Thanks DR. That's kinda what I was thinkingand leaning toward culling them anyway

Not to mention those males would be taking up some very valuable space in that tent.

Big ten four-I'd recommend all of the same, as any males will reduce your yield. Although I have grown some, separate and the smoke from them wasn't bad, just not very potent.

if they are the same strand you are growing isolate them until you can dust some pollen on a mirror using this pollen you can pollinate just one branch or one bud using a artists paint brush and save the expense of buying more seed. and yes you can use the plant for making your tinctures.
