Flowering Male Marijuana Plant

Within 1-3 weeks of starting the flowering cycle, pollen sacks will begin to develop on male marijuana plants (shown in the photo to the left). The pollen sack circled in red has opened and released pollen that will fertilize female plants.

If you grow marijuana, either hydroponically or with soil, the male plants must be removed before pollen is released. If allowed to release pollen, a male marijuana plant will fertilize all the nearby female marijuana plants. Fertilized females will use some energy making seeds, rather than producing THC.
