I think outdoor growing with be great for strains with high CBD to THC ratios for medical use, tho.

I read a while back, when I was reading about hemp horticulture, that, with wind drift for pollen, etc. you need a barrier of 50 feet for hemp v. "marijuana."

So, someone could still plant feminized seeds outdoors with success as long as they worked with neighbors to not keep distances between types of cannabis (i.e. hemp vs. cannabis grown for the bud.)
