how far away?

  1. i have a hermaphrodite that's barely one week into flowering and 3 guaranteed females that are still vegging... this is all an outdoor grow.

    i want to grow out the hermaphrodite for fun... i would like to know how far away is enough to guarantee the hermie will not pollinate my 3 females.

    i was wanting to put it on the opposite corner of my house.

    thank you.
     
  2. Hermies pollen isn't as potent, but if they are outside the wind will easily take the pollen from one side of your yard to the other. They have to be like a mile apart. If you kept the hermie inside and the others outside it would be safer. I just talked to someone who's plant was full of seeds because they thought across the yard would be far enough.
     
  3. Well think about it... How far can a bee or a butterfly fly? What you should do is put a Transparent screen around the Hermie, this will keep the pollen in. Or you could just move the hermie inside your house
