Just 9 acres. Males are small, in 1g pots, off in the woods. As soon as I collect pollen they get composted. You think that's taking too much of a chance? Done it the past 2 years and have not seen even a single seed in dozens of plants (other than branches I dusted manually last year), but maybe I should rethink this approach.

If it keeps working go with it! I'm not very fastidious about my pollen chucking, I figure that they are all quality genetics. I collect my pollen indoors in the spring, but I could easily get some cross contamination when I am collecting pollen from 2 different males that are in 2 different tents in the same room. If I tried to run males outdoors the Oklahoma wind would get more pollen than me.
