Question about pollination and distance

First grow, bought some regular Leda seeds and some feminized Northern Lights seeds. Okay, so if I grow one plot (plot A) of nothing but the feminized seeds where I don't have to worry about sexing and another plot (plot B), say 300 yards away or so, of the regular seeds, do I need to worry that the potential males in plot B might pollinate the females in plot A, or is that distance enough to keep them completely separate?

I only worry since this is my first grow I might screw something up, and I don't want to take a chance of screwing up those expensive feminized seeds.

Yes, with a good breeze, pollen can travel for several miles.

300 yds, not much might get there, but it can get there.

A problem I ran into a couple times was other people planting too close to one of my plots. My plants were pollinated by theirs.

I looked ALL OVER and could never find their plants either so they must have been pretty far away.

What the other guy said...

Plants are genetically designed to pollinate each other. Your biggest problem is other wild marijuana plants which you may or may not be aware of.

It is much easier to grow sensimilia indoors under controlled situations.

as i understand it, even feminized seeds aren't a guarantee, just that you will see a much smaller proportion of males
so keeping an eye on the feminized plot may be a good idea
