I dont like to risk purchased seed outside, so I transplanted some plants from my own seed to grow outside. These are regular seed, could be male or female. They are a Colombian x Native Kansas hemp cross. Where I lived in Kansas when I produced this seed has native wild hemp in all the ditches. Had to be a cross, because the Colombian seed was feminized, and I didn’t find any hermies.
I thought planting them next to an old wheat seeder would be a nice touch.
Cool pic. They all look healthy..,they are a little close to each other…but should start to flower in about a month…and some may be males so that will create a space. If you have ditch weed close, they could get pollinated and have seeds.
Looks good but way to close together those should have a couple of feet between each plant at least
These are regular seed, they won’t start blooming until September 21, that’s when the days are 12 hours. Im only 3 miles from the Canadian border in Montana. Hopefully they will finish blooming before it freezes. As far as the spacing, these are for decoration as well as weed.
These are being grown for decoration and I’ll probably have to weed my weeds. A smaller area is easier.
Before I retired seven years ago, I owned and operated an organic produce farm. My most profitable crop were strawberries.
I had a laydown cart made so I could lay down while picking berries, or any other type of field work.
Th e bulk of the produce was stared in small pots and then transplanted.
So, I’ve got enough experience to know what I’m doing.
This was my cut of the peppers I had to pick before a frost.
Organic sweet corn, a super sweet variety, “Bodacious.”
You can see the corn does just fine spaced about a foot apart.
Great produce! No doubt that you know what you are doing. But I would caution you that corn doesn’t grow 6-10 feet wide like outdoor cannabis can. It’s fun if it is for decoration, but if you are planning on harvesting, the branches will be intertwined and interfering with each other. Cool to see it in the wild and love the farm equipment. Good luck, keep us posted.
This is a canabis/hemp crosss of my breeding. Ive grown it before, it doesn’t bush out much, it grows more like corn.
Understand. This is how my outdoor plants get so you can see my concern. That’s an 8-foot block wall for reference.
That is a single plant.
This is what wild hemp looks like.
Couple that with Columbian, a strong sativa, and they just stay slim. Unlike the unclipped, natural bushy, AK47 I’ve got in my closet.
Looks like an old Landrace Sativa. Very cool.
Oh yeah, the Columbian was landrace. I bought the seed from a small seed bank in Boulder, back in 2015.
Nice background…good stuff.
This is why it’s tough to grow outside here where I live, semiwilderness. They didn’t make it thru the night.
Sorry to hear that. BTW, there is a thread here on the forums that specifically asks about seed viability over time. If those seeds were from 2015, you would have some good input on the thread. It’s in the troubleshooting section. Hope you try the outdoor again, would like to see it.
That’s what happens to outdoor weed where i live . Unless they’re 2 -3 feet tall and you transplant them in spring .
You might want to shade them for several hours a day for a few weeks to harden off 
I assumed they were eaten by something.
Those seeds are getting old. Less than 50% will germinate. I hate growing them inside because they are regular seed and take up twice the room. That may be the last hurrah for that batch. I’ve got other wild hemp crosses tho.
