The downside of outdoor growing
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.

I knew this was going to be you before I looked at the name lmao
My reputation as a mid tier weed farmer precedes me 😂
If it makes you happy who cares what the peanut gallery has to say. You could always dig them up and replant them to get a head start on this year.
good for textile use! 🤣
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?

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!
It's gentrification of the ganja my dude, when I buy it I drive the 3 hours to Michigan. Illinois prices are fucking insane
Michigan is the promised land for weed heads

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.
Someone needs to learn how to sex their cannabis and kill male plants. Jfc.
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.
Bummer.
Fuckers knew what they were doing.
Any tips on sexing cannabis early?
It can be tough but you can usually tell if the plant has balls before they open and fertilize the neighbourhood. Males grow droopy round sacs.
