Hermaphroditic Plants:Sometimes, cannabis plants can exhibit both male and female characteristics, especially under stress. These are known as hermaphrodites. It's crucial to monitor plants for male flowers or pollen sacs even if you started with feminized seeds or clones believed to be female. If...
Cannabis plants can be male or female, butonly female cannabis plants make buds. Female cannabis flowers are buds, and male cannabis flowers are pollen sacs, which contain low THC and are poor to smoke. Male pollen sacs eventually open and release pollen, which pollinates the female cann...
A hermaphrodite, or “hermie,” is a plant with both male and female parts (which you don’t want). Hermies grow sex organs of both genders, so female plants start growing male pollen sacs which can cause pollination and seedy buds. Learn more about hermies here: https://www.growweedea...
Without male plants, crossbreeding would be impossible. Male plants develop pollen sacs that open at just the right time. The pollen is released into the air and caught by stigmas that protrude from the flower pistils, which resemble hair. When these stigmas capture pollen, the result is tha...

5. Pollen can be frozen and stored Pollen can be collected by gently shaking the male pollen sacs over a small container. It is vital to ensure the container is dry, moisture will damage the pollen. Once in a dry container, the pollen can be frozen where it will remain viable for sever...
Should this happen, the plant will exhibit both female and male characteristics. Namely, as the plant matures, it will develop both buds and pollen sacs. As a result, you may end up with poor yields of poor-quality weed full of seeds. The most common reason this happens is plant stress...
One popular method involves examining nodes where pre-flowers may emerge, distinguishing between pistol-like female pre-flowers and rudimentary male pollen sacs. By observing these subtle yet telling signs, cultivators can discern which plants bear the promise of flowering buds and which might morph ...
Although males do not produce the flower buds we see in females, they do produce pollen sacs that release their genetic contents for the wind to carry along. Technically speaking, males definitely grow flowers; they just look completely different from those you see on females. Male, female, he...
smell/flavor departments. When Gage Green Genetics re-created the strain, they used the original Snowman male on the Grape Stomper clone, essentially creating a backcross line, which produces more stable offspring than “selfing” (reversing a female through chemical means to produce pollen sacs)...
