Am I pissing in the wind or what? He’s got em planted 6 feet a part or so. I’m hoping it’s a sensi Cbd run but I’m not sure yet. Anyone got experience with this ?

Am I about to get dusted out ? Seeds galore. Industrial runs are usually allowed to pollinate and seed cause the hemp oil and hemp seeds are valuable too. With his spacing I can’t see him doing a regular run all close like wheat. Seams like a cbd run and that will probably be sensi imo. These are all just assumptions by me tho i have very little knowledge on hemp farming tech.

Sounds like a USDA industrial hemp field in the spirit of the new federal 2018 Farm Bill. Our first state agricultural licences dropped this spring and is a work in progress this year.

yes, I think so, if outdoor grower. And tbh, of course it prolly cant match the value of an patch, Im hearin they are making it favorable for farmers to convert with fields they aren't using in my area. Couple bad soy bean and hay yrs, got the locals thinkin, even with subsides from the gubment. https://www.leafly.com/news/industry/legal-hemp-pollen-drift/

I just can’t see it being a hemp field
With 6 foot spacing. Its gotta be the row style like cabbage or broccoli. And in that case I’m guessing it’s gonna be sensi? Idk, pray for me lol.

I'm not a farmer but I've been reading everything I can find on CBD lately. Six-foot spacing sounds more like a CBD grow than a biomass or seed grow, which are bunched pretty closely, no? And yes, CBD growers will be using feminized seed (if not clones) and pulling any males, right?

Any update on this?

If they can pollinate marijuana it looks like it would be concerning to even indoor grows with the way pollen travels.

I have seen hemp grown similar to corn where it is packed together tightly with tall stalks. Seems like it would be hard to pick males on an industrial level.
