What are your thoughts about outdoor breeders?

Studies were done and in certain places in the world MJ pollen can pulled up into the heat thermals and drift for hundreds of miles.
I think the biggest problems come from the hemp farms

 

The Leaf of Life doesn't require the Hand of Man. Designer strains are just bragging rights for insecure individuals who lack the insight and skill to tap into the potential all weed is imbued with.

 

I can assure you that the males don’t last long enough around here to do damage but like mentioned above, there are concerns with hemp being legal even here in SC.

 

A true gentleman's response to my potentially incendiary declaration. Tim, you sir win the internet.

 

Really hard to control sex of the plants on a commercial outdoor grow.
There is a big market for hemp flower or the buds.
We had a person who knew nothing on growing hemp try to start up farm just outside and up wind of town.
Personally I am super glade he never got it off the ground.
Allot of these people are only into growing weed for the money and can care less about anything else.

 

It makes for an interesting problem for sure. I’m guessing that hemp farmers (weed too in legal places) have to communicate. And the big commercial indoor places like @Green Dragging had the thread about would be paranoid over some home grower being in their with pollen on their clothes.

 

Yea I was thinking about a local farm where a friend of mine was doing some contract work and he was talking about washing his tires and wearing coverings as he worked there. I guess it is pretty strict considering what precautions I’ve read here with indoor/outdoor growers taking for home runs.

 

The official terminology for this type of person is a “Bagseed Betty”. It applies to both irresponsible outdoor pollen chuckers, and people that don’t have the common sense to pull their males. There should be a “Don’t be a Bag Seed Betty” campaign, paid for with legal Cannabis Tax dollars that are slated for education purposes.

Responsible breeding outdoors is very possible. Isolate the male in a clear plastic tent / shed / Clean room. Collect Pollen. Clean female bud sites of fans and small sugar leafs. Paint pollen on prepared bud sites with tiny art brush. Tag to make it easy to find at harvest. 50 or so seeds per thumb sized bud. I've done it for years. Would I let a male go to full bloom uncontrolled outside??? AKKKKKKK NO !!

Any number of males can be used per female with this technique. I have yet to find a single seed this run. I almost always get a few when trimming.

As the unofficial spokesman for Bagseed, I'm issuing a certified HARUMPH

 

When reached for comment, Sen Lindsey Graham stated - "If i had my way, it would be illegal to pull males as God intended all pollination" "I'd like to speak further on the matter but I have a golf date"

 

Seems like folks should know by now pollen travels by wind, birds, clothes, even insects. If I was breeding I'd prefer a indoor tent isolated possibly in another building entirely. I would hate to be that guy who's unintentionally or intentionally pollinating others outdoor crops. Outdoor is hard enough with animals, thieves and pests, molds. Especially those who need it for medical reasons.
