I’ve been running a sealed flower room for 4 years. There is absolutely zero need for an air exchange. Then only way mine gets an air exchange, is when I open the door to the room.

In general, pollen can travel very long distances (over 15 miles), depending on wind conditions.
This report is specific to a variety of genetically modified grass, which allowed for positive identification. The validity for other pollen types would need verification, but should be assumed valid for cannabis.

When a ‘breeder’ is crossing [(herm A) x (herm B)] x [(bx herm A) x (herm C)] I fail to see how there would be anything other than hermaphroditic progeny…

I’ve heard of straight up battles between OD growers in cali. A little pollen landing on a female can really fubar a grow.

lol wat. I don’t see many chads who are getting into making hempcrete, bioplastics, fiber, etc.
The largest contributors to this are probably large-scale traditional ag farmers who planted hundreds of acres of non-feminized seed (usually heeding the advice of a “consultant”) - the same farmers who are still sitting on massive amounts of biomass.
OregonCBD’s push to mandate indoor-only cultivation of male hemp was a bit irrational, there’s really no way to stop this. It’ll be funny if in 10 years the only places you can reliably cultivate female cannabis are indoor facilities, and remote areas like the Emerald Triangle.

This is actually very easy to do. Just duct from outside to the return side of your air handler and as long as it’s fairly airtight, you have positive pressure.
Filtering the makeup air isn’t too tough either, a few MERV 11s will usually do the trick for pollen. HEPA is an option but you need a lot of surface area to develop any real positive pressure

Well if there still sitting on it trying to make hempcrete and bioplastic then they have my respect. But who’s really doing that? No really, who’s trying to change the world with hemp and not just get rich quick?
There’s a moratorium against hemp in humboldt. There’s a moratorium against cannabis in Bakersfield. Humboldt is the weed mecca im glad there’s no hemp up here

It wouldnt really work anyway, the topography would make it really hard to commercialize the farming in the hills.
