I have only greenhouse grown clones and feminized seeds in the past, this year I bought a tent and am starting with regular seeds and have encountered my first non herm males.
One of those males(wookie hashplant) has the strongest odor from the stems I have ever encountered. No flowers have opened yet and the stems feel a little sticky.
A sweet pine cinnamon, just intoxicating. The other two males(PineApple, #2 wookie) are not close in terms of intensity
I have found males that smelled stronger than the females. I had always assumed it was because the males dont produce buds and they mature earlier. But that is only my hypothesis.
That sounds like a ‘keeper’.
I’ve been told (more than once…) stinky/sticky males are a good indicator of a superior male. Look into pollen preserving (it’s easier than you might think).
Generally speaking, male plants have a nicer “stem rub” aroma than females. But as a flowering plant, females reign supreme. All the male gives me is a nose full of dry tingly pollen
Excellent, health plants you have there. Appears you’re working with some potent genetics in your chosen Strains/Varieties. Consider yourself fortunate, SS/BW…mister
