Wild marijuana

[bwilder1050]

where would wild marijuana be? ive seen the thread under this and was amazed that it was just their without someone planting it where would you find something like that?

[BlackBerry]

mostly in the mid-western states unsure about else where

it wont get u high

[ganjzilla]

i heard it grows naturally in arizona and kansas, but ive heard it grows in the himalayan mountains...

[bwilder1050]

what about florida?

[psteve]

what about florida?Not so much.
It's feral weed, left over from the old hemp industry that helped build America.
You'll find it mostly in the central Midwest.
Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
It can be found in other areas, but that's where the main remnants are.

[serpent420]

What would happen if you got a bunch of male/female weed plants together in a field or somethin and just left them alone? Would that become wild marijuana that came back every year? or would it all just die with the first frost?

[bejay]

it will usually come back or atleast try to depending on competing vegetation in some areas it can grow well year after year.
wild marijuana or hemp is not very common as its been continually eradicated over the years and while there is a few spots it is not very common to come across even in the above states.

i grew up in chicagos suburbs n ive seen smoked helped harvest n dry n sold the wild Cannabis n later studied the wild reefer so i know its out there it has many great uses but because any Cannabis here is still federally illegal so its uses go unnoticed but its chemisty says u cant get high maybe hungery tired n hung-over though it still carries all the same state laws as marijuana

It grows wild in Mongolia. The northern area near Siberia. I was in Mongolia last month and was not fortunate enough to get to the north of the country. I did hear that the wild stuff does not have a lot of potency.
I am also certain that it is growing wild in California in Humboldt, Mendocino, Santa Cruz and other popular growing areas.

[Publicgunmen]

I was strolling around and I just saw a weed plant the other day. Literally 3 feet away from the sidewalk... so I did what any other responsible citizen would do, I took it.

[duffydawn]

To answer your question...Yes.. it does grow wild...At least where I live."Oklahoma"...You can go walk through a dense forest of the stuff if you'd like...I've strolled through many myself...I grew my plants from Wild Weed I found last year..And no it isn't feral or hemp...that is a misconception..It's just low low low grade hermaphroditic schwag. All you have to do is sex them..very simple..You won't get anything like Chronic..But you can up the potency from dirt weed to nice mid-grade..Which isn't half bad at all....I took a few plants from a wild forest transplanted them October of 06. They were mostly males..and they grew right back the next year..all females...A few males sprouted up to..But I kindly destroyed them as to not ruin the potency of the refer...They are already pre-budding..doing very nice actually
So yeah I can say from experience that Wild weed can be good...If you take the right measures with how re-grow it..The wild males serve a very good purpose..Just rip one out of the ground and toss it where you want it to grow next year and BaM..You will have a mini-forest of ganja before you know it..All you have to do is take care of it and remove the males at the right time :D

Here's two pic's of the ones I got goin right now... to show you a legit example of what i'm talking about here

[Stonerz420]

you dont just rip males out of the ground and through them in a spot where you want to have a ganja forest, they haven't made their seeds yet, makes just contain pollen, that pollen has to be transfered and cared for in a female pollen receptor, the flower, the buds the dank! so i dont think thats a real wild marijuana plant you have there duffy, i think the main poster was talking about ditch weed, like the ones ill post in a min

[duffydawn]

Actually Stoner420 you couldn't be more wrong... If you read a little more of what I said...I pulled the males in Oct of 06. right after the equinox...Each plant had 100's of seed's on it..Considering I planted over 5 of them..They died because of the winter cold..Which left the dead plants with hundreds of seeds to fall on the ground. It kinda makes sense...Considering I did it myself

Plus the plants came from a wild area with males and females....So what your saying doesn't make sense..Or maybe you just didn't get what I was saying at all..lol

[duffydawn]

and actually..Males do carry seeds. It's called cross-pollination..and that's how you get males and females....Males always carry seeds....it's kind of how nature works

[stinkyattic]

No, it's not.
Males do not carry seeds. They carry pollen.
Please do not spread misinformation on these forums, thanks.

[duffydawn]

I don't see how it couldn't be wild..... I didn't buy the seed's...I didn't plant them myself....
All I did was move already existing plants from one spot to a safer one....
so yeah...what I said pretty much means Wild..grows Wild...

[duffydawn]

excuse me for misinterpreting the round balls on the male plant for seeds.....I'll just call them testicles from now on.....

[stinkyattic]

They aren't testicles either. They are unopened male flowers.

Please go read a book on basic botany.

[duffydawn]

So yes..they drop their Testicles..aka pollen..And yeah.. They grow back

[duffydawn]

Yeah..I guess I am wrong...Thats why my plants came back...
I just want to know if I'm wrong..How did they grow back??? If I was wrong..I would have 0 plants....
I'm always open to learn more.. So please enlighten me

[foxysox]

You're sounding ridiculous spouting misinformation, naming plant parts with the proper names of animal organs, and then announcing that you don't know what you are talking about.

Why don't you just get up to speed on basic botany before trying to teach others?

You're wrong. It's that simple. Males spread pollen. There must be a female present to accept it. Females bear seeds. Male plants do not have testicles, nor seeds.

[psteve]

Yeah..I guess I am wrong...Thats why my plants came back...
I just want to know if I'm wrong..How did they grow back??? If I was wrong..I would have 0 plants....
I'm always open to learn more.. So please enlighten me#1-Feral hemp is not the same as "hermaphroditic schwag". And cannabis that grows wild in large fields in "OK" and the rest of the Midwest, is definitely feral hemp.
#2-If your plant had seeds it was not a male, it was a pollinated female. Males NEVER carry seeds.

[duffydawn]

I get the point about the male flower...Despite the fact that it does resemble a green seed...I understand it is an un-opened flower.....That was my misconception..sorry for assuming that..even though the look just like seeds :/

I'm confused is..I transplanted a boat load of Wild males.... Last Oct of 06.....
They grew back.. the following Spring..Now they are all Female....Or so I believe...I am trying to learn here..are my plants Monoecious or Dioecious???????

[the image reaper]

I heard a funny comment on the radio yesterday, the talk-show host made a comment about somebody, " that guy is so stupid, if he fell down in the yard, he would start grazing " ... :wtf: ... don't know why I thought of that now ... :jointsmile:

[duffydawn]

I have already picked very small bud's off the plant...I got a little over 12 grams from one plant.....There were only 2 seeds...I let it dry for 3 days..It had orange hairs and a somewhat sweet smell...Now the only thing I can guess is the field I took them from last year wasn't wild like I had previously assumed it to be..Maybe it was some ok stuff that had been abandoned a while ago????
But if it is hemp..Why do I have bud's showing??????
I've already rolled a entire blunt and joint....I have smoked for some time and have smoked many diff strains..and I did not get extremely high...But I did get high...and 3 others with me.

[TallCoolOne]

No, it's not.
Males do not carry seeds. They carry pollen.


Thanks Bill Nye. LOL If you have to explain someone that, its not worth your time, or someone dumb enough not to understand basic biology.

[psteve]

are my plants Monoecious or Dioecious???????Unless you specifically bred them to be one or the other, there's no way to know for sure until they all show sex.

[psteve]

But if it is hemp..Why do I have bud's showing??????Did you think hemp has no buds???
HAHAHAHA!
As I said above, please go and read up on basic botany.

No..I'm not stupid..thanks for the asshole remark though =)
I'm a novice grower... Just like every grower starts out as..I have confidence..I'm sorry if you mistake that for stupidity..Maybe you should try being a little more positive towards others.
I'm just trying to better my plants and expand my knowledge so I can grow more productively.... Next time I won't just assume I'm right..I'll phrase my statements in the form of a question to avoid people such as yourself
;););););););););););););)

[duffydawn]

FFS....You ask a question around here and instead you get a laughing stock of hecklers.....Good to know I guess... I thought this was a place to get helpful info
instead you get belittled....I'm sorry i'm not blessed with a green thumb.lol
But i'm learning..I used to work at a plant nursery..So yeah, I do have botanical experience..Cannabis is a very complex plant...Even you should know this to be true...
And no I didn't know hemp had bud's...I've never seen nor smoked hemp..... so I guess that would make me acknowledgeable to that sort of strain..wouldn't you think so...

[duffydawn]

I've talked to a few people in town.. the locals...And they said that back in the 70's a lot of people were growing it in the area....So i'm just assuming here that it isn't hemp....It has buds with white/orange hairs.... they started to bud early July...I'm guessing that is a good sign????

[khronik]

Hemp is usually bred to be hermaphroditic. The reason is, male and female plants grow differently, and hemp farmers want their seeded fields to grow more or less uniform.

Like you said, the cannabis was probably first grown for toking purposes.

The plants you thought were males were probably hermaphrodites, not males. Hermies would look different than females and have seeds, and you probably assumed that they were males since they looked different.

When the plants grew the next year, they probably came from seeds dropped by the plants you transplanted. With the TLC you gave them, they were probably not so stressed, and so became females.

Just my thoughts. :)

No need to berate the guy for just not understanding what he was dealing with.

[duffydawn]

Thank you man...Thank you so much..You answered the question I have been asking myself for months now in a few simple sentences...And so you call these "hermies" I like this term...Dude thank you so much...Last year I remember..When I first spotted thee wild plants...I thought I had seen some bud on them when I first found them...But there were so many seed's. and so little bud..And this year Since I pulled every single male I saw..And I do this on a regular basis every 2 weeks.....They have been unable to have sex ;)...Or so that's how I look at it....
Do you think they will be any good...????
Here is a pic.. And they started to Bud early July....Is this a good thing??? or just not even important thing...I would guess so since they basically have been building up from July to this years harvest "October"

[duffydawn]

If you were here with my "Mr. Khronik" I'd smoke you out and try and learn more..I really do appreciate your input..Which is alot better then getting accused of spreading disinformation....and ridiculed... And yeah you were exactly right..I did assume the plants I had planted last year were male..And indeed they were just hermies with boat-loads of seeds....You've really cleared up alot of my confusion..Thanks again..I can't say it enough

By the way...the pic's of my plants are on the 1st page of this thread..If you wouldn't mind checkin em out and tellin me what ya think about em..that'd be nice...I'm starting to type like an Okie now :P
the pic's are about a month and a half old now....The plants are much much bigger than they are in the pic's now...

Haha, yeah, I wouldn't mind that, weed around here is really unreliable and my single plant has three weeks left until harvest. :D I was just thinking, cannabis drops a lot of seeds. Maybe the plants you have grew from unsprouted seeds that were in the soil. Cannabis is not a perennial, so there is no reason to transplant the whole plant if you're trying to get it to grow back next year. You just need seeds.

Both male and female cannabis plants will turn into hermaphrodites in response to stress, and growing outdoors in Oklahoma sounds pretty stressful! If you take good care of them, the plants will separate into males and females, which it sounds like they're doing now.

Those are really big, nice looking plants! My outdoor grows never got that big. I'm assuming they descended from plants grown for drug purposes, since you say they smoke pretty well. They look like sativas (as opposed to indicas), which do grow tall like that, and back during the 70s, that's pretty much all they grew. However, since they have probably spent a few decades evolving to devoting more of their energy to staying alive and less to making THC, they are probably kind of low-grade. You could do a LOT better if you got some high-quality seeds. :thumbsup:

Well at one time I lived in Kansas and on most the railroads you can see hemp growing for miles.. 10-12 foot fully budded beautiful stalks for as far as the eye can see.

Its source is from the time when it was grown across America for rope, oil and fiber and was transported by the tons on trains and seed blew out the cracks in the cars.. Then there were trains caring fertilizers that also passed by dusting the areas along the tracks.

Wirhin 20 miles of Levenworth Ks you can find 100's of acers of it growing all over the place. Of course if you try to smoke it all you'll get is smoke inhilation and no buzz..

Its where I learned to make hash as that was the way we used it back then..

True Story...

When I was first stationed there in the Army 4 of us found a farm house to rent and we split the cost.. great place back in the sticks and we had some great parties.

One morning before daybreak a friend Jerry and I decided to go rabbit hunting back through the fields. It was just starting to get light as we found an old rotting down barn with a broke down fenced in area around it. It was totally over grown and we got about half way across the fenced area and I noticed that all the weeds growing in the area was pot. I yelled at Jerry and said am I nuts are is this dope!! first time I ever saw so much wild weed and thought we had walked into someone grow but you could tell it was never touched.

It was beautiful, fully flowered and looked like fine bud.. We turned around and headed back to the house and grabbed a close line and 2 butcher knives and headed back to the barn.

We cut two huge bundles and dragged it back. Had to be 100 - 150 lbs of bud. We drug it into the kitchen to clean it and had a 1/2in of seeds covering the floor. We stuck some in the oven to dry to try .. After 2 joints ..Nothing... after 4 joints Nothing.. its was then we fiqured we had just cut a batch of rope hemp..

We did make a pound or so of hash that was a good buzz and had a bon fire that made the whole area smell like dope all night from the sticks and leaves..

After that I then started seeing dope everywhere.. If you get a good look at wild dope growing naturally you can't ever miss it again. You can drive any freeway or road in eastern Kansas and if you watch the fence line you'll see bif tall beautiful plants just like you see milkweed here in KY..

[duffydawn]

I know what you mean....I was driving down I-35 from Texas to Okc...I stopped mid-way past Dallas....So much of it just growing right in the under passes and drainage units....Everywhere I drive now I'm always watching the fence line....maybe I'll spot some chronic one day and my fantasies will be fulfilled...I would love to not have to worry about a plant and just stumble upon a natural beauty that took care of itself...but growing it is pretty fun.. it's one of the best hobbies I've ever stuck with

Duffy, that's not wild cannabis growing alongside I-35 to the north of Dallas. It's a very common ditch weed that grows wild around here. I think it's some form of vitex, but if you look closely you'll see it's not cannabis. You'll never see a bud on it, and its leaves are slightly different. It's everywhere around here, growing along fence lines, in drainage ditches and alongside wild sunflowers.

[duffydawn]

Well....I have pictures....And it was weed..I know what you mean though... I see ditch weed all over here in Okc aswell...The ditch weed has like a similar look..But is doesnt have the christmas tree look to it....I got off the highway to take a look myself..I can post the pic if you'd like....It had no bud, but this was early in the year

[weedman_7]

im from a suburb of kansas city on the missouri side tiny ass town it grows like crazy out here everywhere every summer dont smoke it though you will just get a headache

[qdavid]

Damn, big words and shit. Cannabis is dioceous meaning there are males and then there are seperate females and to propagate they both participate , whatever. But a plant can become hermaphroditic and fertilize itself.

[BlackBerry]

uh... ive gotten lost on page 1

i thought u should know

maybe i fell asleep

this thread is old and im sorry but- LMFAO

This, absolutely!

I didn't think to much about that comment the first time that I read it because it was quickly overshadowed by a car-wreck of a thread, but now after having reflected upon the dialog within that car-wreck, and then reading it again, LMFAO indeed.
