The Male Pot Plant

The male pot plant is distinguished by its appearance; it will often have a thick stem and irregular branches. One of the most obvious appearances of the male pot plant is the fact that it will have few leaves; this is one of the reasons why people growing the plants do not want a male plant in an indoor crop. They are growing for the amount of pot they will have after harvesting the plants and the male does not measure up when it is harvested compared to the amount that will be harvested from the female plant.

It is not unusual for a female plant to weight double of a male, while the male can be harvested three weeks or more before the female plant if the female is left to seed. The male might be taller in height, but it still has the sporadic branches and few leaves.

For the person growing in the house if they are not going to have their females filled with seeds then they need to separate the male before it is able to pollinate the females. This means there will need to be two separate growing areas in the house if the male is going to continue to grow after its gender is known until it is mature enough to be harvested. The male plant unlike the female will die off after maturity, the female can continue to survive if not harvested and be used for clones rather than for harvest.
