Marijuana Mystery

So here's the deal… 2 outdoor grows. 2012 - Royal Queen Special Kush, WOS Northern LightsXSkunk, G13 Labs BlueGum, Delicious Seeds Fruity Chronic Juice. 2013, Female Seeds C99, Reserva Privada OG Kush #18, Dutch Passion Snobud, Dinafem Critical Jack. All from Attitude.

Seeds started indoors in organic seed starting material in the spring. Hardened off and eventually planted outdoors. Some in pots, some directly in garden. Never stressed, not a single sign of any issues such as high or low nutes, ph etc. Big, beautiful plants from start to finish. In every plant I have gotten seeds. The first year I got more NLxSkunk and Special Kush seeds - maybe 25 from the NL (1 plant) and maybe 35 total from 3 Special Kush plants while the Fruity Chronic and BlueGum had just two or three.
This year - most seeds in Critical Jack and OG Kush - similar to the NLxSkunk & Special Kush from the year before - about 25 - 35… usually at the base of the bud - but only like one or two in one spot and thats it. none concentrated in any one area. The Snobud and C99 have had probably 10 - 15 seeds in each plant.

NO male plants and NO stressed plants. Looking around and reading on this forum and others and know the hermie argument but how the hell could EVERY plant grown produce some amount of seeds without a male plant around.

Theory 1 - self produced seeds - again, hard to believe EVERY plant would do this.
Theory 2 - wild plants in the area that are randomly and very sporadically pollinating plants - but both years and every plant?
Theory 3 - neighbor, who I am 98.9% sure is growing, has some male pollen collection going on in the summer?????
Theory 4 - anybody else got something?????

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and replies!

I would say if it happened two years in a row to all plants, they are more than likely being pollinated. Just a guess though. If you are right about your neighbor, maybe you are getting some pollen from his way. At least it seems to be light, and your plants aren't loaded with hundreds of seeds. Not sure what you can do about it if they are being pollinated from somewhere else.

Wild plants or neighbors plants I think the only way to stop it is to move shop. Actually IDK if that reverse stuff works for plants that are pollinated. Maybe someone will chime in about REVERSE & SATURATE by Dutch Masters. I know they say if you spray it 1 week into flower and then again in 10 days it stops it from seeding or turning hermie Im not sure. They use something similar but on a much larger scale when they make seedless produce like watermelons, cukes, and grapes. So I don't see why it wouldn't work for MJ. Also the only place I found it was Amazon. Local grow shops said it had to be pulled off the shelf for some reason. Good Luck my friend.

OK,,,I'll bite.

T1; Possible but most likely not.....Do you see any little yellowish "banana" shaped things mixed around in the buds? Then yes to this one. (But I strongly suspect NO, this is not the case as you say no stress at all and what you list has a stable track record.)

T2: Ah yes, this is the one I most strongly suspect! Pollen can travel for MILES on the winds. The amount of seeds your are getting alone point to this as the problem. I'm afraid there is nothing you can do to prevent this one except move inside.

T3; Possible but you would have more seeds per plant due to the proximity.

As to the REVERSE from DM. NOTHING can totally prevent pollination! I would suspect that from what I read the reverse is a "stress" reliever that will help prevent HERMING, and not prevent mother nature from her job!

Can't get it because it was pulled due to inhalational and oral toxicity as well as developmental toxicity to offspring. Animal tissue studies have been conducted and the substances like palcobutrazadol and Daminozide caused big problems. (particularly oncogenic, tumors formed in all test species at varying exposure levels).

Smoking treated plant matter would be ingestion of this chemical.
Anybody want cancerous tumors?

Thanks for all the replies!
No banana shaped things in the buds at all… I too am leaning towards random pollination from being out in the open air. We live by a lot of farms and obviously in a rural area… so the chance that someone had a little grow somewhere that was abandoned and is now producing male/female plants and thus causing pollen to be out and about.

OH, and I don't see this a particularly bad thing either - I have a bunch of seeds that I normally wouldn't… not sure how they'll turn out - but worth giving them a try.
