White Widow Clones Growing Outdoors. Polination Question.

Greetings, My 1st post... I did some searching on here and other sites and am trying to find an answer. I have several WW plants growing outdoors after harvesting the mother. My question is what happens if the girls get pollinated by some local ditchweed? Will the quality be harmed? Will the seeds be any good?
Thanks in advance..

Ummm i dont think i would worry about cross pollination unless theres a patch of plants close by.. But if it did ever happen it would depend on quality of your and the others plants thats pollinated..
I dont think you have much to worry about

Are they flowering? And if they do get pollinated, the seeds that come out will raise weed thats only as good as u raise it. When seeds are produced it takes energy away from resin production, which does affect potency. Thats why ppl like sinsemilla crops.

Thanks for the replies. There is a bunch of old Farm Weed growing 1/2 mile up wind. I just worry about losing quality on my Widows by getting them polinated.
Thanks again.

I have my reasons. Alot of it is also just trying to figure out where weed still grows wild, its one of the many mysteries of the planet.
Well, There are Huge quantities of Wild Weed in the Omaha rural area, Most of Rural Iowa, Tons in Southern Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. The fields are usually 100' by 1-200' and been there so long there is no grass or weeds mixed in and the Females grow in excess of 3# of weed on a 15' plant. Usually Loaded with seeds and look like Spruce trees. There are literally thousands of acres growing in plain sight. Often but not always growing right along blacktop roads. I travel the midwest so I happen to notice it and check it out often. Some friends and I ( in our youth ) have hauled out garbage bags and trunk loads of this stuff prior to being in the know on when to harvest. Never dried it right or cured the buds so we really never got high on it. This year I will check tricomes and try to harvest an early unpollinated cola and see what I get. Funny though..every year the goofy ass Cops will cut down a field that is in plain view ( has to be in public view ) And they have the news paper out there recording what they call a Pot Burn worth over a $1,000,000 on the street. Way to go guys!!!

See this is exactly the type of info im looking for. I wonder if anybody has found any in Northern Illinois? My mom lives there and I go visit her after tax season every year. I live in southern cali now, if I could find a patch here, well that would make me jizz my pants.

Yes.. Northern IL. West of Gurnee and all the way over to Rockford. There are a few lakes in the upper middle part of the state that had some growing along the roads. Smaller than what I have here but a lot of 8-9' plants. There's so much by me I could have a farmer bale me up a few bales..

I used to go through Rock Falls from the Quads over to Chicago. Not Sterling but I know where it is. Gotta be some " Feral " around there I would think.

ya if you cross your white widow with ditch weed the seeds will produce something a lot crappier than the white widow. not saying white widow is crappy btw

I was more worried about losing potency with the Widows than what i got for seeds. Still worried about it due to the large qty of "Feral" Weed around here. Thanks Kaendar for the term " Feral " as associated with weed. Hilarious.
