.......at some point you need to stop collecting and start planting these seeds ......

I like that idea: stop collecting Seeds, and start collecting Buds! Because i can't smoke seeds, (though i have accidentally once or twice, yuck.)

I have two big outdoor tables about 25 ft apart. One table has males, the other has females. I keep a flowering pea plant on the male table, between the males and the females. I usually only find between 3 and 5 seeds on the females per plant.

so how does the flowering pea plant help?

Industry experts recommend a minimum distance of 10 miles between outdoor cannabis fields. Research has shown that pollen can travel much further than 10 miles, but the amount of pollen transported decreases logarithmically with increasing distance from the source.

According to Clarke: Marijuana Botany, cannabis pollen can travel and pollinate over a distance exceeding 200 miles.

Forgive my ignorance but how do they track this? Is pollen from a specific cannabis plant distinguishable enough between other fields that may be within the 200 miles?

Edit: wow I need to slow down on the hash.. some sort of genetic test never crossed my mind.

I do not know. It seems obvious to me considering dust from the Sahara desert travels thousands of miles over the Atlantic ocean and fertilizes the Amazon rainforest; what remains of it.

Oh yeah definitely wasn't trying to downplay the winds ability to carry things, it is totally possible if the conditions are right and dry. I was just curious how they got to a definitive answer. Always amazed as a kid by the distance ash was carried by Mt St. Helen's.

I think about 90% of 1970 weed shot hot seeds like fireworks, never forget the taste. Everything was seeded and they popped like popcorn. In the upper Midwest, a lot of foreign Hash was everywhere and definitely preferred.

Just grabbed a pack of Bodhis Strawberry Headband....anyone run this?

Yeah these are medicinal plants that need to be grown consumed and shared with others. Let us collect these buds. Farm on.

I haven’t ran that either.

They detect moroccan cannabis pollen in southern spain annually.

I remember hearing this back in the 80's.
Used as a way for the authorities to figure hash production for that year, based on the amount of cannabis pollen monitored.

Definitely all throughout the 80s in the Northeast - seeds were pretty much the norm and nobody complained

I smoked Gold Acapulco weed, Panama Red, Red Colombian, and Vietnamese and all were seeded, some Mexican kilos (brick) were 40% big stems and seeds by weight.
And those little untrimmed leaf stems would poke through rolling papers, even my Marfils. All vaping now.

As a natural wall between them, to help block pollen.

A plant won’t stop pollen from another plant, pollen has been dealing with that for many millions of years.

My understanding of the wall would be that, bees and other pollenators would rub off the pollen from cannabis on the pea plant, leaving less to make it to female cannabis.

Cannabis relies on air pollination and each little grain is very light, sticky girl flowers capture it. No bees involved.

My dad and uncle were bee keepers. Bees are involved too. The wind, passing animals/people, natural pollenators, all contribute.

I think he meant not needed
