Industry experts recommend a minimum distance of 10 miles between outdoor cannabis fields. Research has shown that pollen can travel much further than 10 miles, but the amount of pollen transported decreases logarithmically with increasing distance from the source.
According to Clarke: Marijuana Botany, cannabis pollen can travel and pollinate over a distance exceeding 200 miles.

Forgive my ignorance but how do they track this? Is pollen from a specific cannabis plant distinguishable enough between other fields that may be within the 200 miles?

Edit: wow I need to slow down on the hash.. some sort of genetic test never crossed my mind.

I do not know. It seems obvious to me considering dust from the Sahara desert travels thousands of miles over the Atlantic ocean and fertilizes the Amazon rainforest; what remains of it.
Oh yeah definitely wasn't trying to downplay the winds ability to carry things, it is totally possible if the conditions are right and dry. I was just curious how they got to a definitive answer. Always amazed as a kid by the distance ash was carried by Mt St. Helen's.

I like that idea: stop collecting Seeds, and start collecting Buds! Because i can't smoke seeds, (though i have accidentally once or twice, yuck.)
I think about 90% of 1970 weed shot hot seeds like fireworks, never forget the taste. Everything was seeded and they popped like popcorn. In the upper Midwest, a lot of foreign Hash was everywhere and definitely preferred.

Definitely all throughout the 80s in the Northeast - seeds were pretty much the norm and nobody complained
