If you want seeds, keep them. Most people want sensimilla (cannabis without seeds), so they remove them. If you do want seeds in your female plants, keep them.
Is this a start of a bud/flower? Im new to this a 1st timer

Imo, this hobby is too expensive and time consuming to start breeding plants without any clue if you will enjoy them or not.
Flower a few plants, get an idea of what you like, and then consider breeding down the line.

Enjoy and appreciate what you have grown,first.Then decide what route to take from there.Sometimes expirianced growers forget the enthusiasm of the first grow.

Thank You, I just put so much heart into them & hate to think now I have to kill off the males. but want great buds more so..Since the males are showing after I move out the makes out then do I start red lights or wait for the females to start blooming? Did that make sinse the way I wrote it? This is 3rd one Im not sure yet. but in the 2nd picture its the most smallest..Planted all from seed end of Oct.

Stay the course and the females will show.Feed as normal until plant stops stretching it's branches.It will then become more brittle or set in flower .

I've been disappointed many a time seeing male flowers. Usually its a taller plant that seems to be ahead of the pack. Until those grape sacs turn into little bananas and spread dusty yellowish pollen you're not too late.
You should have thrown this weeks ago. You need to be on top of seeing really early

The photoperiod is what triggers onset of flower, both male and female. There are strains called auto that will flower without light deprivation. Your lights should be on for 18hrs. and 6 hrs. off for maximum growth, "vegging" or vegetative growth is leaf and future bud sites and requires higher nitrogen levels. When you want your plant to flower, you have to fool it into thinking it's the end of summer by reducing the light to 12/12 and reducing nitrogen and increase potassium levels. Her only goal is get pollen on her sticky swollen buds and produce seed to further her genetics in the form of seed. Thats the life cycle of the female plant. Now once in a while you may get a plant that is hermaphrodite and will start out looking female, hairs and everything and is female. Whether through stress or genetics these hermies will produce male flowers that will ruin your whole crop so be vigilante to spot and REMOVE these immediately! The genetics should NOT be furthered. Do lots of research on the web and if you need seeds for free you can contact me.
