I just had a quick question about female buds, and whether or not I have to worry about them being pollenated by insects like every other general flower? Bees and what not, if so I wont leave it outside.
well you only have to worry if there are male plants in the area. do you know of any other grows? by this point any male plants are probably long gone(if the grow opp is responsible). and a chance that an insect went from one grow(with male or hermie plants) to another is very unlikely.
Marijuana pollen is windbourne; insects have little or no role in pollination. The tiny grains of pollen can travel miles, and each one that lands on a bud hair becomes a seed.
No males= no problems. just make sure nobody else is growing males around you. bees will take the pollen off of the males but i have never seen them go to the females.
I've never seen a bee taking pollen from pot, male or female. Pot plants don't have flowers like most plants and trees, and nothing sweet like most flowers to attract bee's.
i thought the same exact thing but when i went back to my garden there were about fifty bees all over the male plants. (most of the males were grouped together.) i was wondering how they were attracted to them but i just waited till night when they were gone and then i pulled them.
