Wild Hemp in the Midwest

I found these growing in back of a relatives tractor barn. We don't get any of the wild stuff growing where I live. I know it's impotent but I brought home some male flowers and am going to pollinate one of my sativa girls branches to see if I can get some earlier flowering sativa seeds . I know it'll knock down the potency a bit but it will be a fun experiment.

I can tell you from experience what will happen. First, the experience came by way of a Kerfuffle on my part.
There is such a place (forget hemp field, this place is hempville) near me and it would take the Army Corp of Engineers a good two months to eradicate all this hemp that has been growing for at least 30 years.

People who claim to be gurus go there and intermingle mary
jane with this field and because of this you can find plants that express both sides hemp/mari jane ect. What
bonehead would brag about such a thing?

Anyway,
you cant just roll up on this field you gotta dodge water mocs, copperheads, etc. Nevertheless, if the corp were
to come here they would need flame throwers to get it off. Ok, so several years ago, I failed at growing due to
the weather, etc; as a last ditch effort for some bud I went to this place and found some loud among the varieties
all seeded up, but it really piqued my interest so I grew it among some legitimate plants. I caught it flowering
a male, and yanked it and left it on the ground, there was enough water in the rootball to pollinate the good ones. Well
I grew these out: This is what happened.


1. The THC was intermediate, but the plant was most beautiful (purple).
2. They came up in Feb, snow and all and even laughed at the horrible weather (kewl beans)
3. The CBD will make you wonder, it goes up considerably.
4. The smoke required a good cure to get the effect...

I am now on F3 cant wait to see what will happen now, she looks most sativish....I dont think it
will be the notable "jimjonesKut", but we will see hopefully. Distance to GOA approx 4 weeks.
Because these plants come up quickly and regardless of the weather, I decided to forge ahead
with it, I guess this was the silver lining, the last two years Ive placed them outside after
Thanksgiving for the dormant seed starter, whooaaa baby its a beautiful thing to see them
coming up well before the norm. So go for it, create your outdoor variety, outdoor weed is
WAAAAAAAY better to me, besides what grower can out do the bulb in the sky???? Ha!

I will try and post pics, I just went to spot and the storm took one out, and one popped nads,
so sad, but they are 4 weeks into the mix. Cant wait to put her in her plastic panties.....

Petmarks, do your crossbreeds bloom earlier than the norm? The ones I came upon were mostly fully seeded and have obviously been in bloom for a month at least. The males were mostly expended with just a few unopened pods on a few plants. Out of maybe 30 plants in this group, 75% were fully matured and heavily seeded. The hardiness will be advantageous because there is usually a good (bad) freeze every year around mid March here. I especially am hopeful that the crossbreeds are pest resistant. Grasshoppers have ruined my vegetable crops here several times and now my cannabis decreasing my yield to a fraction of what it should be while leaving indigenous plants alone. I am hoping that these will have turpines that will deter the hoppers. The hemp has survived in wild form since the second world war so it must have evolved into a pest resistant form I'm thinking.

Hey guys any update on this? Thinking about crossing some wild Nebraska hemp with some ducksfoot, selecting for webbed leaves in the 3rd generation to make a hardy ducksfoot for North America. Just an idea
