gone wild!

A lot of midwest growers would be pissed if you did this. See the problem with creating a "wild" strain is the gene pool degrades over time without proper care. Effectively devolving into something no better than hemp or "ditch weed". Also the pollen from your wild strain would pollinate every outdoor grow for miles.
Well it's more of a theoretical question. Some hemp was bred to be hemp.
Planted weed would degrade to this level of sunlight etc. But what if you kept adding fresh seeds to the gene pool every other yearor so.
I just didn't know if any strains could sustain a population in this area or why not.
Thanks for you're reply!

if u want something wild why not just pick something from ace or the real seed company..they are all 100$ landrace plants that hasnt had nothing done ot them and they are great
If your trying to over-grow the midwest by making your own seeds..
Good luck....
I spread more than my fair share one year (think BIG ziplock bag)...very few made it to maturity...and they were pale shitty underfed POS...nothing like the parents.... Nothing came back the next year.
Friend tried the same thing IN THE CITY...with a sandwhich baggie worth of seeds....same sort of result...too much competition with the native plants which crowded out the mj plants...
Only solution I could see is mebbe winter gardening style....

hemp weed
Thats the way you have to do it...
I was crossing the USA in 1975 on a 4 month journey of adventure...
Somewhere in central Missouri, I found fields of wild marijuana..
I'm talking about 80 acre fields and larger....I was just 21 then, and my eyes must have looked like frisbees when I saw these solid fields of 12 feet tall plants...
My buddy and i picked off the highest of the high tops, since it was just mid August and the buds were still smallish....
We dried that shit out, excited as could be, and rolled it up...
All we caught off of it was a headache and sore lungs....
I meant maple leaf indica. I cant type.
I wonder if a sativa would do better. It's very humid here.
The seeds would have to be planted even just clearing old growth and sod and digging-loosining the dirt to get patches going. I've tried it doesn't work throwing seeds or planting without loosening the dirt ( although in nature that's how it works)
This is what I think would have to be done yearly or occasionally at first maybe after a couple years survivers will surface that everyone just needs to feed the gene pool every once in a while.

Give it a try and let us know.
On a long day hike 3 yrs ago we came across a patch of wild ruderalis in the San Juan Mountains, SW Colorado. Plucked several plants, grew it out and then took 4 generations crossing with an Alaskan autoflower to have the potency and taste desired.
It takes time to cultivate a strain into a good strain. That's why my mention....cull the best, ditch the rest.
I think that would be a great idea prrsonally. I wish I had a bag of beans, but not sure if they would grow outdoors wild here in southern ca. If you do lets us know how it went. I remember seeing wild weed growing in india and some old ussr province.
P.S. some mexican and asian migrants bring poppy seeds to grow in their gardens and also throw then out to see if they would grow in the wild. The opium kind, so I dont see any harm doing it with bud.

Hemp is no good for smoking. People used to sell maps to hemp fields around here to out of state folks who would pack their trunks etc. Thinking they struck gold. A lot of people have been busted for picking the worthless stuff. What a waste. " honest officer I was going to make some rope" .
They have eradicated most of it with Indiana's Multics billion dollar hemp elimination program. On the news they say "police confiscate 1000 pot plants growing along Wabash river" then show pictures of 20" tall plants they are burning. Of course all the cops are standing down wind.
The ruderelus is around but no better smokenbut much smaller some I have seen only 1' tall in flower. It isn't real common in this area but along abandoned railroad tracks more common.
after thinking about it an Afghanistan might be best at this latitude a real hardy one like I said before maple leaf might be good.
Plant it let it go seed plant those seeds etc. Keep eliminating weak plants make new plots etc.
Next thing we're swimming in free weed!
