Texas’ booming hemp industry has survived another effort to ban intoxicating products. Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s push to prohibit hemp-derived THC has died for the year after the Legislature adjourned its second special session Wednesday night. “After long discussions last night between the Governor, Speaker, and me on THC, and continued hours of discussion today, we were not able to come to a resolution,” Patrick said Wednesday night on X.

I'm pretty sure there are a lot of places that grow indoors so this tactic wouldn't really do anything to them. I'd wager there are lots of seeds and clones of thc producing cannabis which would be protected from this. I'm also not sure that you could ensure a whole crop was cross pollenated with hemp, so you could probably "damage" a portion of a crop, but not the whole thing.
