RQ: Quick and effective way to KILL MJ

[Guest]

Hi, I know this is a rather unusual question to be asked here. Let me explain.
I managed to persuade my dad, to plant a few MJ plants in the yard of my parents house. Problem is, that where I live there's a lot of wild hemp.
There's no way to protect my plants complitely from polenation.
But I know of a spot in less than 100 meteres from the house where grows a patch of wild hemp (absolutely no potency). Although it looks cool for pictures, if I leave it there throughout the growing season, it's going to ruin my grow.
Problem is that this patch (about 3 square metres) is close by some other houses, and I don't want to be seen cutting them one by one.

I've beeen thinking about Amonium Saltpeter. This is a fertilizer for adding nitrogen, but it is very strong and overferting burns the plants. And maybe if I spread a large volume of it (it's cheap also) over this patch while the wild hemp still sprouts (somewhere in mid March) it will kill of most of it. But I am not exatly sure if it will work.

Does anyone know of a good and effective to way to kill MJ (excluding cutting)?

Knock em down and cover with thick black plastic and weight it down and leave it. In a couple weeks under full sun that soil will be sterile, dead seeds, pests etc and all. Best of all, no chems, all safe.

I would think a huge golden yellow patch of dead vegetation from the herbicide in your yard would be noticeable....

Good luck!

The patch of wild hemp is far outside of my yard, so I don't care about consequences from chemical treatment
Any phisical intervention, like the one HeadyPete proposed will be easily noticed by the people in the houses near this patch. I don't know how they will react, but I prefer they don't know who is messing with the wild hemp

Generally I really prefer some chemical to do the job. And if that chemical is cheap - even better
As a kid I killed lots of plants with car battery acid, but I just can't find that much for this patch

concentrated brush b gone / weed b gone from ortho?

or concentrated round up?

just mix it up in a 2 or 5 gal sprayer and go to town when they emerge in the spring. i'd assume new seeds would germinate and it would keep trying to pop back up but keep knocking it back every few weeks until theres enough time to let your crop finish, but not let the hemp reach the maturation level to produce any pollen.

another thought that you might not want to hear is that if you have a wild hemp patch growing that close, theres most likely other patches you don't know about, and i've read that the pollen can travel for many miles on wind currents.

wow.........

ever thought of just waiting til they start growing and then walking through with a big stick and whacking them down? Despite YOU not giving a shit about the environment, some other people, namely those who live close to the patch, just might.

Why do you have to be so set on poisoning the ground???

Because, I'm going to grow some smokable hemp in about 100m from that spot. If I leave the wild hemp there, my joint is going to be massively pollenated. If I'm noticed hanging a lot on that patch of hemp and whacking plants, suddenly my folks house/yard may become of interest for the neighbours... Get it?

If it wasn't for that, I would even love to let the wild hemp live... it looks cool. And my expirience with car baterry acid shows that the "exterminating toxicity" holds no more than 2-3 monts. In 3 monts, there's new vegetation on that spot.

BTW, would bleach do the job? It's fairly cheap.

hm i think water with a lot of table salt, but getting all the water out there may be a problem. I like the tarp idea but you may need a rather large tarp. it sounds like you live in a more rural area? do u have lawnmoor that you can drive out there and just plow it with? maybe you should think about carrying out your plan (what ever it may be) at night

 

[MynameStitch]

You looking for a chemical way or a organic way?

 

[Guest]

i'll second the salt. Just get a few big things of rocksalt (its mad cheap) and spread it over the spot while the snow is melting. The salt will wash into the ground with the rains and nothing will really grow there and it won't contaminate the groundwater too much either like ummmm, car battery acid

 

[Guest]

Actually I live in a city, and my folks house is just 10km away from the city.
But here in eastern europe, there's wild hemp growing EVERYWHERE, literally. Even cities Too bad it ain't smokable (well most of it at least)

I'll try with salt then, sounds like a good way... and yes we have snow right now, and it's gonna melt and mix with the salt... Well I think it might work, thanks for the idea.

 

[Guest]

salt may wash out of the soil before the seeds germinate, the black plastic would be better.

Well, seems like divine intervention solved my problem. A new road to the neighbourhood is built, and guess where it's going through...
Yep, right trough the patch of wild hemp, I went there yesterday and it was covered in gravel, awaiting the asphalt.
Talk about luck, heh
