She’s almost ready. How much do you think I’ll get off her my neighbor figures about a pound.
Maybe a ounce far off a pound but anything grown by you for you basically free is awesome all in it self injoy

I don't worry about pollen traveling very far, since it usually gets blown into surrounding noncannabis vegetation, especially for those who grow in areas with forests or other physical obstructions that catch and hold the pollen, etc.Not even kind of true. From all the tons of research I've done the the studies say standard distance on the wind is around 100 yrs. However the insects that are pollinating can travel miles. For instance a bee can travel around 3miles on average.
Oh I know...I've read that before. I've also read that pollen can travel 2000 miles given perfect conditions.I don't worry about pollen traveling very far, since it usually gets blown into surrounding noncannabis vegetation, especially for those who grow in areas with forests or other physical obstructions that catch and hold the pollen, etc.
However if it's near an open area, like a body of water and wind driven, it can travel for miles. That's what the excerpts below from a study in Spain conducted in the 1990s indicate anyway.
ATMOSPHERIC TRANSPORTATION OF MARIHUANA POLLEN FROM NORTH AFRICA TO THE SOUTHWEST OF EUROPE

Abstract---As a result of aerobiological samples taken on the Costa del Sol (S. Spain), Cannabis sativa L. (marihuana) pollen was detected from May to September 1991-1996, always sporadically and usually during the afternoons. Sampling was by two volumetric spore traps set up in Malaga and Estepona, two coastal towns approximately 90 km apart. A study of the days when this pollen was recorded points to the movement of air masses from North Africa to southern Spain. Furthermore, the isentropic air trajectories calculated for these days reinforce the possibility of the pollen originating in marihuana plantations in northern Morocco (Rif). This study demonstrates the application of aerobiology to the control of the source, quantity and phenology of the crop. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd
CONCLUSIONS
It seems probable that the Cannabis pollen which reaches southern Spain has its origin in plantations in northern Morocco. Based on the quantities of pollen detected, the annual Cannabis sativa harvest can be estimated and increased trafficking foreseen between the producing region (Morocco) and the consumer countries (Europe). Independent of the quantity, recent years have seen an increase in the length of the period during which marihuana pollen is recorded (number of days be- tween the first and the last grain registered), which seems to suggest an extension in altitude of its cultiva- tion because the north of Morocco is very mountain- ous. This would harm the native Cedrus woods, and there is also the possibility of producing allergenic reactions in some sensitive individuals.

It does... But what can ya do. They just started two new fields near me this year. At least only one of my plants got pollinated really bad this year (never seen so many seeds). The other three did end up with a few but not bad. At least there's still indoor. And my lady has ok'da small greenhouse for next year.Oh I know...I've read that before. I've also read that pollen can travel 2000 miles given perfect conditions.
I guess if you live in open plains and such you would have to worry...however I don't see where most people live with trees and houses...forests..mountains etc etc that they are going to get their crops pollinated from 6 to 12 miles away. Shit if that were the case .... every noob growing bag seed males would have pollinated every grow I've ever had.
Tons of people grow around here and most are too dumb to know a Male from female plant until it's too late.
Idk... I guess it sucks if you live next to a hemp farm.
Agreed, the study represents an extreme and most normal growers don't have to worry about foreign pollination if there aren't males close by. At least until hemp farms start being commonplace.Oh I know...I've read that before. I've also read that pollen can travel 2000 miles given perfect conditions.

I love the squirrel! I've raised three orphans myself. And nice plants!Couple shots of my Blue Dream
She’s a monster with 2 main colas that are about 2-3 feet long and absolutely covered in trich’s. Mostly still clear right now I’d say 2-3 weeks from harvest. All in a 6.5 gallon pot!

2 more weeks at leastNo idea if shes ready lol 1st timeView attachment 4399293 View attachment 4399294 View attachment 4399297
Keep pushing it! What state are you growing in...if your north it's really a battle of weather. Push it till the middle to end of October sometimes early November depending on the strain and the weather.No idea if shes ready lol 1st timeView attachment 4399293 View attachment 4399294 View attachment 4399297
