    Default Max distance of a male's pollination?

    I understand that this is probably not something that could be answered with 100 percent certainty because of several variables. Nevertheless, I'm trying to figure out at what distance a female plant can be kept from a male without worrying that it will be pollinated. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

    depends on the climate, and microsystems within your geographical region, ive heard that MJ pollen can travel up to a hundred miles or more

    I've heard crazy numbers like 50miles on a bee or by air.

    I'd have to say a couple miles somewhere around 10ish but like you said its all on the variables.

    Thanks for the replies. I never thought in terms of it traveling miles. I guess I'll have to murder all those dudes to be safe. Maybe transplant one or two to a completely different area so I don't have to keep buying seeds.
