It would not affect the profile but I'm not sure how the yields would be. What's the point of growing 15% CBD if it gets seeded by feral hemp and you get a 10% yield instead? It is less yield but it doesn't make your product unsellable. That's what the THC side complains about having product that they can't sell due to pollination and I imagine if a CBD farmer had their yield dip 5% per acre they would complain as well. I don't know numbers of yield of pollinated vs yield not pollinated but I'm willing to assume that it does affect it in a significant way.

im not saying your ratios will be lower, or different
im saying that the yeild will be lower, whether that is viable flower weight yield, OR resin yield.
it came off confusing, but bottom line is that pollination is NOT in any way good for crops intended for CBD OR THC production

I think there will likely be a reduction in the amount of resin produced in seeded cannabis because the plant lives to make what seeds she can but I can't see how it would affect the cannabinoid profile in the resin. Dunno if seeds are as devoid of CBD as they are of THC, either.
I do think that all this experimental hemp farming will establish stands of feral hemp where none have been before. In places throughout the midwest where that's happened the stuff simply can't be eradicated.

Seeded plants suffer from less active content yield for sure when pollinated.
If working w a 15% CBD variety & the farme looses 5% of that yield thats a full 1/3 of his/her potential. That's a huge amout of loss compared to expectations and in such an industry seems unfeasible for long term operations whereby a crops value wil be diminished over time as the market becomes saturated.
Pollen flying is detrimental to anybody NOT growing a fibre/seed crop as the majority of cannabis growers are.

We went to Hempfest in Ft Collins a couple of years ago, met & talked with a woman whose family business is hemp fabrics of all kinds. It's an industrial scale operation. They also have serious competitors. She does festivals to promote their extensive product line. They're based in Eastern Europe & China. Their Chinese operation is more profitable.
After talking with her I realized that anybody going into the hemp fiber business in this country is a dreamer. Chances of successfully competing against the Chinese in that market are slim to none. We'll see people futzing around with the idea for some while, I figure. If any kind of hemp other than CBD hemp is to be a viable commodity they'll have to find profit in other uses.
I how ever think think that there could be an effect of the resins and terps from seeded. But I think that there could a rainbow effect from crops that are seeded. The degree of how seeded the flower are or are not, could have an effect on the terps with in the resins. I could see a 100% seeded plant not having as much resins or affecting the terps or THC or CBD's. I don't know of any one who has made any kind of hash from a seed crop, so some one would have to test this out to prove either way.
At some point in the future if and when it becomes legal at the federal level, the current thc limits might not even matter. I mean what would be the point when its 100% legal at the federal level of them demanding those low percents amounts.
definition of 100% legal is not going to be what you think it will
look at "legal" here in colorado as is.... hemp, med AND rec are all "100% legal"...

Tell me about MJ .... trying to dry and cure minus central air....tricky.
Makes me reconsider my main focus with the summer coming.
Good thing I have homes for my foster children.
Going to be one crazy summer outdoors.......

Someone gave me hemp moms with russet mites.
Time to gas a room. Fuck.
those motherfuckers
the mites AND peeps who passed them on
They came from a giant greenhouse from a guy who 'dealt with russets last year'. Had I had known this I would've immediately sprayed EVERYTHING before taking them in. Worst bugs to have, I would've rather dealt with spiders. Wtf why wouldn't you mention this?!!
Some hemp people really don't know anything about growing.

female russets can diapause (like hibernating) until suitable conditions arise
basically having them "last year" (last season) may mean you still have them just in diapause till spring
basic rule of thumb is to immediately spray everything up taking it in, no matter the source or what the plants look like or what the guy you got them from said
