Cross pollination
SAC87started grow question 4 years ago
Hi there, I’m growing autos outdoors and am wondering if anyone has tried to grow around hemp fields. I’m wondering if the male hemp pollen will cross pollinate to my plants? I grew 4 last year and they were full of seeds. This years amnesia haze seems to have seeds. Thanks

Yes it can cross pollinate and it will ruin ur plant, get the structure of a grow tent and plastics and do a green house to prevent it.
Hope ur amnesia haze didnt get pollinated by hemp, it would hurt sooo much cuz amnesia haze is my favourite smoke so far.
Wish u best of luck growmie.

I’d say it’s certainly a risk. Pollen is dispersed by the wind, so if you are close enough and down wind. It seems you didn’t have this issue with the current grow - which looks awesome btw!
I would suggest growing your plants on the other side of some kind of solid obstruction — like you house or other building. This would at least decrease decrease the risk. Or as others have suggested you could grow under cover (plastic/row cover)... mind you there’s a cost to this of course.

it seems you already have your answer, of course that hemp can pollinate your plants. It seems that outdoor growing will prove problematic for you. I would consider setting an indoor.

Nute Advice - Botanicare PBP vs. KIND Full Range (Base Supplements).Thinking of changing nutes from @Shogun to @Botanicare for next run. Has anyone used the FULL PBP & FULL Kind range and could advise between them (Quality, Yield). Trying to work out the costs and if they're worth it (KIND range looks like £85/grow as opposed to £133 for PBP).Other. Other
