How far away would be safe for male plant?

After having such suprising results with my first grow this year, Im laying out my plans for next year. I had to destroy several males this year and would like to move one of them along with a female to a different location this year to let them do their thing so to speak. My question is how far is a safe distance so there is NO chance of the remaining females becoming fertilized. I dont want to take any chance of screwing up my main girls so I figured Id just move a male and a female away from the rest of the crop. But Im not sure how far I need to move them, Hmmm. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Farther that a Bee or butterfly can fly, or farther than dust can float in the air.

In all honesty 1 to 3 miles away from a male and you should, I say SHOULD be ok.

yeah that's a safe distance but if the wind is blowing in the right direction and strong enough you could get some unwanted seeds.
I'd trim your male down to just a flowering branch rather than a full plant just a few days before he's ready to blow his load. That would decrease your chance of unwanted pregnancy elsewhere

Yes, as stated above: there it is. Put the dingo balls in a jar before the spooge, and break'em out later if you want some kids. Do a bit of pixie dusting a week into flowering and put a white ribbon on the branch. You'll get a dozen beans or so. Easy.

Nothing wrong with kids, and some will appreciate the seeds if the pixie dusting spills over onto other flowers.

Peace,
