I have 16 of them. 4 met the trash can. Two I have set aside for pollen with cones of shame.
The rest are fems. I crossed 8 plants with mowie. Mowie purps. Also have a blue dream x blue mammoth that I crossed too.
And quit being contrary guys, y’all are both cool af.
I like breaking the rules in growing. I’ve had a ton Of folks tell me shit was gonna blow up I. My face. Meh, just continue being rad gentlemen and fuck what ya heard.
Honestly when ya said you hadn't hunted any of em yet I just assumed it meant none had been popped. M'bad. Also noyce
And wouldn't sweating a breeding closet inside with a patch 100' from the house at all.
I wouldn't sweat a male plant or two here and there as long as it wasn't right on top of my girls or being pumped into the air around em.
But there's a strip of wild hemp down by the KC train depot near downtown. It's like 100, 200 yards long or something ridiculous. They sprayed it from time to time but it comes back every year regardless, probably from carts of hemp seed from Canada or something. Their pollen gets around. It's hard to get away from it sometimes. Kansas city is windy, it's flat, and the air cool off a lot at night.
Anywhoo the rail company stopped wasting money on spraying it once cannabis became decriminalized illegal in Missouri
If you got a hemp field within a handful of miles upwins. Your gonna be annoyed growing plants outside. I went hoop house after first two seasons and it helped a lot. But at that time I was between downtown and liberty. Straight damn northeast of the hemp strip. I'd have gone and round up'd it myself but it was norfolk southern property or some sh*t. And I learned in my train skipping days you don't get caught on rail company land.
Well, if your a train hopper they'll kick your ass and lie to the cops about it lol.
There's huge patches of wild he p all around the rail network through the Midwest and spreading quick. Because the weather and land is perfect for it to spread quick, and the DEA don't spray it all anymore
And yea, I helped my nextdoor neighbor get growing when I moved to another part of KC, and he was exhausting a 4x4 out through his drier vent because he didn't have a drier. Well his bagseeds went balls and he was pulling out a drier vent on the back of his house. Yards were small, fenced, and very close together like a lot of metro yards. Was my first season away from the path of that hemp strip and actually the last time I grew outdoors until this season.
Not one outdoor plant, the entirety of time I was in Kansas City, came down without some seeds in it. Whether I pollinated them myself or not. First season thought it had to be hermie. Until I grew some out of curiosity and got oddly sativa plants that made males and pretty, but crappy flower. Was pretty, smelled good, but was airy, super dry and tasteless. It got you high, sort of, but wasn't worth a damn.
Maybe I'm cursed. I can't seem to get male plants when I want them, but I keep getting weirdos.
When I messed with my own pollen I just kept a misting water bottle around and gave a few spirits here and there and have never once had an issue.
I made pollen inside while I was in Liberty and put it on particular branches particular plants without ever having cross pollenation issues. Plants indoor and out. I'm not careful with my clothes or anything, I just misted services with water that I thought might have got some pollen on them
I think it's fairly obvious how annoying having a 100+ yard strip of hemp a few miles to the west of you could potentially be lol. Or some a-hole being careless with pollen or genetics.
And viable pollen from single plants when wind driven can absolutely cover 3,000 square miles. Pollen can actually in rare instances go even further. The actual likelihood of any plant being pollinated in that range probably really low if there only one plant putting out pollen in that area. That's just how far it can make it. Logic wpuld dictate if you increase the number of plants putting pollen out at the same area, it's not going to go any farther, it's just going to be denser in spread.
And I genuinely am not trying to be disrespectful or an ass right now. Those are just facts, and I'm backing them up with my own experience. .
