how far away to prevent polination

[michaelpeg]

how far apart should you plant your plants if you are not using feminized seeds and you dont want polination? (checking for males every now and then in not an option)

Hey MP if you're talking about outdoors there's no real way to ensure that a male doesn't pollinate a female. You have to consider the fact that winds and insects can carry pollen a very far distance. The best you can do is simply space them out enough so they have enough elbow room to grow and check for males!

thats true about bugs and wind, but i really wont be able to check for males, i guess i will plant them about 10 feet apart and hope for the best.

Sounds then like your best choice is to go with feminized seeds and pray non of them are that "fluke" male.

i would but i already bought my 20 manitoba poison seeds without even thinking about polination so i guess we will see what happens, hopefully i dont end up with a million seeds with very little bud

well pollen can be carried by wind upto 100 miles atleast. (grandfather was a farmer)
but if you get seeds just plan wisly and create your own new breed. :thumbsup:

[michaelpeg]

wow 100 miles thats crazy, i hope someone elses crop doesnt polinate mine lol. oh well maybe i will order 10 fem seeds and put em in a seperate area but the rest i will have to try my luck
thanks:thumbsup:

Plant them at entirelly different locations. Opposite sides of town. And then another plant in a nearby town, 10 minutes away or so..

[michaelpeg]

would be good if i could do that but it might be too much hassle, also i havent exactly decided how many plants im doing, its going to be a minimum of 20 but i might decide to go as high as 60 and it would be tough going to 20-60 different grow sites
