best way to hide it, that’s why. if you don’t mind a few seeds in an other wise abundant amount of weed it’s perfect. beats the hell out of buying it or getting busted growing it.
I know a guy who has a hemp problem in his cow field. They grew hemp industrially once, now it’s all gone wild

@AppalachianBiscuits YES!

How old is his patch?

Wartime hemp?!?
No, he grew industrially in like, 2020. It’s just seeds and birds spreading seeds in cow pies.

I spoke with a state grower and he mentioned that the Industrial hemp areas near Sugar Creek
are now being used as outdoor grow sites. During the '70’s, my brother grew a field of weed in for a certain [then] Mayor
[today he’s in DC.]

All “American Landrace/Ditch” (which, by the way, bravo on that title. It’s perfectly accurate IMO) has to come from Mexico. It just HAS to, two main reasons I think. . … #1 the very nature of it is cheap and weak, yet resilient to the elements in the American states. #2 I myself grew up on “Mexi brick” on the West coast, and everything about it is synonymous with what anyone says “American Ditch” is.
For me personally, growing such strains now would be like reliving a bad childhood memory 
lol! But i respect anyone’s willingness to preserve what could very well be considered a valid piece of American history

That’s unique looking
As I recall the plants from which we collected seeds were very narrow leafed. Seeds were mature in September. I am glad at least one germinated for you. Good luck.
Hey there’s a Veteran who started a seed bank. I think he’s been working an American Landrace.
“2 guns & a guy”. I picked up a few from him, mainly “War Trophy” to date my “Deep Chunk” later.

Back in “the day” we had garbage bags full of Indiana ditch weed, you could smoke it all day long, and get nothing but a headache. We grew out our bag seeds, which were pretty good, but no one grew the ditch weed. It’s hemp, from WW 2, when the feds sent half million hemp seeds to farmers to grow for the war effort. Indiana was one of 5th largest producers of industrial hemp.
At least that’s the story I recall. Every year or so, it pops up in my garden, as birds poop out the seeds.

Indiana has lots of old hemp fields but are monitored by airplanes and such. Signs everywhere saying no stopping or walking allowed.
Lmao @Dieseldog381 I hadn’t seen your post until I posted. Great minds and all right?

Cosmic! We must be related. Are you on Ancestry.com? 
The stuff we picked was along fence lines by a farmers woods, some males were 16 feet high. A friend of a friend of my cousins uncle on my mother’s side knew where it was, or something like that, been fifty years, lol, kind of a closely guarded secret.
