hello to everyone, i live in nebraska now, registered med pat in CO. So i've been struggling for a while now to just keep a decent supply of personal meds. i've grown indoors off and on for several years now but i am an utter newbie to the outdoors. my question is i have some land in the country here (hasn't been farmed in about 5 years) and this last summer i went there to fish and look around. anyways tons and tons of ditchweed or ruderalis grows wild out here. my question is if i plant anything(clones,seeds, etc...) will it get polinated by the ditch? it's the perfect spot and a few plants wouldn't even be noticable compared to the countryside around the area. but should i consider this as a option or am i up a creek without a paddle unless i can pull the thousands of possiable males in the immediate area? hope this makes sense and someone can enlighten me more on this. thanks, stay healty, stay safe. mr.d

yeah, i grew up in northern indiana and we had the same problem. only thing to do is grow around the wild season or pull as many males as you can find (or just spray area with weed control), and hope for the best, as stoner said.

thanks for the information guys, i don't really have much for fish, (trout heads) i fish year round. will those work ok? also have a ton of guano i was planning on putting down before i plant in order to get all the nitrogen the babies would need. any other suggestions? a healthy harvest w/ tons of beans is still better than a handfull of oxys everyday right !
thanks again, stay healthy and stay safe. mr.d

Actually when a female makes seeds it decreases it potency. It puts more energy into seed production that resin production. So do not let them get pollenated

Yeah but sharp imagine how good that bud would have been without seeds. Every so often we get bud with seeds and Its never as good. I can see a noticable different so sensimillia is definatly the way to grow. Even if its mids...

yes earth your right about sensimilla being better but due to my current situation(moved states) i can no longer grow indoors, outdoors on a plot of land i own here is really my only option. and while it will decrease the potency overall, i'm planning on putting some ak48 cuttings out for this year and at roughly 20% thc i could handle losing some of that kick just to ensure my peace of mind, and that no one is knocking on my front door.

Me and my fellow growers are experiencing this problem too. While it's possible to decrease the potency loss by picking out pollinated ovaries, it is a procedure that has to be done often. When such masses of ditchweed present near your garden, it would be wise to consider planting sativas. Wild cannabis (including ruderalis) are related mainly to indicas, so indicas can be pollinated by them quite easily. Sativas cannot, and the more sativa genetics are in a plant, the more resistant it is against wild pollen. This is my first reply, I hope it'll help you.
