I just gave a pollen breeding demo to some farmer a cpl mths ago. Now the Farmers all got males in their backyards. I surround plants with plants that have not been pollinated as test plants to monitor cross polination. Over the years I have figured out the currents of my property, indoor and outdoor, I dont not need a pollen filter on my furnace filter. Tents and indoor pollen breeding is where the skill is needed, It actually easier outdoors, ppl just dont know how to do it. plastic grn houses are the worst for pollen control. Plastic will bellow your green houses, that will wash your plants with pollen air.
Now you asked about concern for the neighbors female plants.
Fertility is the most over looked trait that I can think of... With fertility comes many good traits. Ive have seen this first hand. Some of my best crosses come from Very Fertile plants, some names of legendary males around here
Big Daddy Fat Sacks - he got the whole farm from outdoor.
Fertile Murtile - I lost containment of her and her Man indoors,
Ron Jermy - ppl swore their females got bigger around him.
All these males made good quality plants and smoke in general, and when crossed with some plants they made uglies too.
Pollen from fields of what we call hemp, low level pot can have abundant fertile plants. i have seen this giving peeps seeds for miles away and in some cases messing up crops. Example SE colo.
I have Female plants less than 20' downwind of 6 males blooming hard. They're elevated 8 ft so the pollen from plants on the ground air current doesnt get them. However, you have to be careful some Dom males can be very fertile, my Cavmandica Male is a foot taller than the closet male and still thrown pollen so I worry about him, I watching close. Farmers have and others have been collecting his pollen. I like the Firepower x Tahoe male plant, but he hasnt put out champs yet , except the ISS x Tahoe (2 very good plants that Mandyjane and cpl other grew the ISS x Tahoe.
the others were weaklings and 2 easy stress herms plants) which had some stress hermy traits and bout 25% were weak and not very good bud. So 2 out of 6 plants Poss will be VERY good bud, so IDK, do want consitent mundane creamy filled pretty good bud. Or do want to find a cpl bangers, I think it was over 20 plants to find those 2 mandyjane diesel bangers and if you not watching and abusing you could get nanners on the other mediocre plants.
The ECD and FP x Tahoe , not dank OG but very resin packed but not tasty enough, and then the Diesels are cup winners (freaky tastes some are sweet tastes), But Dom for crap bud, Go figure,,. I'm budding out all the sibling ECD and FP x Tahoe semi consistent, resin, but the taste is creamy and the high is just above average. and we lost the Diesel so this will be the last taste of the Diesels (ISS x Tahoe) also.
over 70 seeds that I documented from 1 dad in several ppl gardens and these 'new strains' I crossed were all over the board. Only a cpl bangers. Most or at least 1/2 the crop was good bud, the other half was weaklings, males, herms which is par for Mother Nature also so at least that Tahoe male was good breeder.
He studded six strains off the top of my head and 5 strains propagated solid male and female genes.
