I certainly needed more than the visual aid, I also needed you to point it out just like you have in the above quote! :) I simply thought you were just plain ol Gary the gnome!

feminised or regular seeds??????????:crying2::banghead::dead:

I've always bought feminized seeds and I've never had any trouble with hermies popping up from them. I don't have the space to fool around with having to do too much culling of males so, knowing you have a female with every bean you pop is worth quite a bit to me.
I've been gifted quite a few beans that are regs and I'll get around to trying them at some point but, I need to have things at a particular point before I can do that, with the fems I can just pop a bean or two whenever I feel like it.

I'm always telling people to try Cataract Kush from DNA Genetics, it's really good stuff, grows well, yields well, has a really nice flavor, and a devastating high. Well worth checking out.

Depends on your grow space and techniques I guess. I started with fems and they did a wonderful job. If you're very limited and start your plants in their final pots like I used to do, then defo fems. If you start them in small pots like 0.8l or 1l then I'd go reg way and let them show their sex until transplant. Account for the 50/50 ratio and drop double the ammount of seeds you're able to accommodate in flower. At least that's how I do it. If you end up with less fems than you have planned, just give them another couple of weeks of veg to fill in the space.

What I found out regarding differences between regs and fems is, regs tend to have more vigor and grow faster, produce more and are generally better to grow. Also there's a big difference in phenotypical variety as the feminised seeds carry only half of the chromosomes so you're working with heavily diluted gene pool.

Don't get me wrong, you will find some gems in feminised seeds. The vigor might suffer, potency probably not so much, but you'll have half the variety unless you get yourself some regular beans that have been worked right through many generations and stabilized to the point of few stellar phenotypes.

Also, i tend to pop some autofems to have a little something to harvest until the vegging plants are ready to flip. It makes the whole grow much more interesting without wasting too much space.

But in the end, it's always up to you.

thanks man.. think I'm going to try some reg seeds next time... see if i can tell the difference in vigour like you say..... always got a couple of autos on the go somewhere.. cropping two next week....yay.. i shall stick up a photo of the next generation babies later i f i get the chance.. thanks for everyones opinion its just what i wanted to hear...:cool:
