2017 Grow your own thread

No I meant more because pollen can travel like 1km, you're nowhere near Collingwood right? lol

Pollen can travel much further than 1km. If I lived anywhere near a ShiTweed greenhouse I’d be putting out only male clones next year.

A 2015 report from Oregon Cannabis Connection cited by Hermann covers pollination studies and discusses unwanted pollination. “In three studies, pollen drift was observed across 5 to 12 kilometers (3 to 7.5 miles). A fourth study showed pollen drift for 48 kilometers (30 miles) across the Mediterranean Sea from Morocco to Spain, summarizes Hermann.

We don’t have sea winds carrying hemp pollen into Colorado, but it can be windy nonetheless. According to Hermann, a safe starting distance between marijuana and hemp plants is 10 miles. “There is no scientific backing to guarantee that distance, but it is a safe starting point.”

Never mind the 1km or further. Sounds like he has it 10 ft from some females. Even if the females are inside, that's a risk I wouldn't take after so many months of work even if it is secluded. Unless your using it for future genetics I would get rid of it. Make sure to take a shower and wash your cloths the next time you go near that male especially at this time of season.
You could be your own worst enemy .

I really hope next year when it becomes legal on whatever level to grow your own that we don't have a bunch of newbies tainting the air with pollen. It could actually change the outdoor game as we no it.

I just want to be clear. I'm not calling anyone newbies here. I'm just saying in general.

Yeah for sure, or as you said, the pollen could stick to clothing and you could pollinate a few calyxes every time you enter the grow room if every one can grow outside

Well first frost today super chilly morning, plants seem to be happy still but considering pulling the one in the ground very soon but going to wait a bit longer as I've heard surviving a frost can induce more trichomes? Is this true? The end is near

Yes it can definitely with stand a frost or 2 and will help with trichomes . Let her go lol.

Sometimes I wish I could bring my plants indoors, like through yesterdays little wind storm.

Anyone in the GTA check the 14 day outlook. Oct 14 is 24 degrees feeling like 32. We may just finish properly this year again. Who cares what the temps were at the beginning of season, it's the end that matters.

Keep an eye out for Botrytis with those humidity levels.

I agree however hoping it won't be to much of a problem but definitely keep an eye out.

Looking great @OLD MOTHER SATIVA are you noticing any difference in terp levels under those panels this round? Just wondering, I noticed a huge increase going from CMH to COBs. They look sticky and stinky

 

[OLD MOTHER SATIVA]

Some of mine in the greenhouse got infected with this weather. Just have to trim and pick through the bud carefully. It's not too bad of an infection.
