rogue hemp pollenation

[Riggles]

SO i live in a place that is surrounded by industrial hemp farms... we keep getting seeded by them! we grew out one of the hemp spawns...it was ...beautiful... fast growing..yet....weakkkkk as hellllllllllll... lol... what are your tactics for avoiding this? would a greenhouse help? was toying with the idea of using autoflowers and just sitting out late august.....

All I can recommend is to grow indoors with a hepa filter. I don't know how well they work for cannabis pollen, but my google research indicates that they should be fine enough. As a greenhouse requires decent airflow, I don't think that would help.
Other than that, your autoflower idea is probably your best bet, as arson charges are a PITA.

lol...all the growers in town here are pissed and i wouldnt be surprised if someone paid them a visit ... I have high hopes for indoor.. but i love getting out in the sun..

I hear ya. This was my first outdoor season, for weed at least, but I think I'm going to go for it again. Thing is I'll have to get security cameras, one of the two plants I had going got ripped.
But I've always loved going out to check on my hot peppers.

Hemp growers must be required to raise females, only.

Exactly! Or get Monsanto to create a hemp plant that won’t pollinate.

2019 was a hemp gold rush, check who your neighbors are for this season and make sure they're growing feminized seed. There should be less hemp growers around in 2020. I'm guessing you're in Southern Oregon? Or like the others said, grow indoors with a good filter.
