Glandular Males

๐ŸŒฟ Cultivation First mentioned: Ep. 211

Rare male cannabis plants that produce visible trichome glands, potentially carrying unique flavor compounds not found in female plants alone. These males are considered highly valuable for breeding programs focused on resin quality.

Bubbleman credited DJ Short as the first person to tell him about glandular males and Dr. Atomic as having particularly beautiful specimens he photographed. He argued that breeders who can identify and work with glandular males in their lineage could develop cultivars with superior and unique aromatic profiles, noting that males often have flavor profiles the females lack on their own.
