breeding down hill

im looking to breed 2 of my plants. all of my plants are outside on a hill. if i put a male and female down the hill about 30 metres away (the hill is about a 45 degree angle) will the male pollen be able to reach my other plants (their will be mant bushes between them) ? thanks

Don't risk it, bring them far away. I had a buddy who had a crop pollenated by a male that they later found was almost a kilometer away

You can do it yourself with a soft paintbrush. Pollen in a baggie with brush and touch the pistils with the pollen laden brush. Outherwise wind and insects will move it by luck.

Possibly. There's always a possibility. Pollen could come from 50 miles away and get on your girls.

Good idea.

Another method is to fill a baggie with pollen, then slide that baggie over a cola of bud. That way you don't even pollinate the whole plant, just one branch.

thanks guys i don't think i will take the risk but might try the paint brush thing

I watched one of those nature shows..maybe the national geographic..this place was in Asia somewhere and since they had no bees they had to polinate via a small paint brush. I planted some bag weed of Skunk1 and one lousy branch hermed on me and polinated every fucking plant around....I murdered every jack off bee that the lousy honey producing sob lived next to me had. I have no bud...damned if he's going to have honey.

Did you burn all of it when it got pollinated? You could have still had bud. Should have just made hash.

dude what the fuck?


You hermied youre plant and you are blaming you're neighbors bees for pollinating everything??

And so you killed his bees? Lol what the fuck!


You're fucking hermie probably seeded up you're neighbors plants he may have had going aswell.

So you screwed him out of honey and possibly weed. You sound like a dick

Wind will do a fine job on close plants..no bees in most grow rooms.

Huh.. you don't have Bees in your grow room? o_0

Ladybugs and Bees man.. they way to go.. LOL


But ya, frickin Pollen can be blown for Miles... this is why we have different landrace crosses from some Countries even blowing acrross the border to the next..

Praise Jah!
