Newbie to Boards, outdoor pollination question
Some plants need help from the bees and others depend soley on the wind. Grass is the latter of the two and for this reason has gotten very good at pollinating plants even far enough away that you would have your doubts, in fact miles away at times. When every year for 5 years my plants become less and less potent I had two theories, 1) adapting to a cooler climate reduced potency(as it has been shown to do) or 2) that there were males of the hempy variety in the vicinity(the one I was more inclined to believe). I was more inclined to believe the latter because a) I took very close care to remove any males and still had seeds and b) every year the plants got taller and taller and the leaves became more and more sativa in appearance. Point being I would be suprised if simply being on the other side of the house stopped the gratuitous love affair about to ensue. Do yourself a favor and bring the male inside with a plate to catch the pollen then do a little painting. And the female will be plenty ready to be pollenated, though if you want more seeds just keep the pollen you collect in a paper bag in the fridge for a week or two, then pollinate when the buds have grown a bit(allowing an hour for the pollen to come to room temperature). Also, after collecting pollen change your clothes before seeing the females. Peace
