Sexing...

In 2nd week of flowering and starting to see sex of plants. I have several growing in close proximity (touching). So far at least 2 are males. What do I do here? Kill them? Do males produce quality bud? Sorry to sound so newby but previously I have only grown femenized seeds. What are the reprocussions if I keep them alive and next to females? They ruin the female buds, right? Killing them really sounds disheartening. Hope that is not my reality but I suspect it is Thanks for response.

get rid of them unless u want seeds...

well, if you can relocate them to a safe, sealed area (safe from your ladies) you could grow them long enough to collect some pollen. with that pollen, take a fine paintbrush and brush a little on a ripe bud and only that bud will produce seeds, proving that male success in his life, and being kind-hearted to a plant that serves just as much purpose as his lady counterpart

I like that idea. This would mean I would have to have another light though, right. How long until they start pollenating? I hate to have to end their cycles early but it seems I have no choice. I have a small room and one light to work with here. Sorry boy's, it's curtains for ya's.

chop chop time for the nut yeilders.
