I have random volunteer cannabis sprouts all over my yard, especially here by my compost pile. I stopped counting after 26, which is a felony where I live so don’t tell Babylon.

    To a non plant person, why is this bad? Don’t you want seeds be be able to grow more trees? Or is it just that then randomly popping up can put you into legal trouble?

    We have ditch weed here, they grew hemp along the train tracks to fight soil erosion. Now we have a feral cannabis population, and the pollen can travel for miles especially on the intense winds we get up here. If you grow outside here, you get seeds. That’s just the way it is.

      Mostly because of the tight plant count we have in Illinois. But also because the feral cannabis here, and therefore the seeds, isn’t really what you’re looking for in a good medical cannabis. They’re real lean and leggy and have low THC content. Good for making rope though!

      You want sinsemilla, so it’s as potent as possible.

      Making seeds requires a lot of energy, and you want that to go to making the THC/CBD instead.

      If you WANT seed, it’s not a bad thing, but random pollen sucks, can affect other people even up to a mile away.
