Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my post. Lol, parental duty, good one! I'll definitely check out Nirvana,and Sweet seeds.A lot of your questions are probably search able
- Only reason to buy regular seeds is if you would like to have a possibility of males. for breeding, not sure you would want them for any other reason.
- Usually there is a reveal at a week or 2 after the switch, you will know it when you see it. males are different.
- parental duty
- not a hassle just a waste of resources unless you are trying for males
- there is nothing I have ever heard of that indicates they are any different than their fem counterparts.
- Not sure this helps, but buy the best genetics. That may mean spending a little more, but good genetics is where you start for good cannabis. do your research on this, some companies have a rep for good genetics. Nirvana comes to mind, Sweet Seeds is another, everyone has a favorite and there are many, but these guys produce good seed stock and worth a few pennies more.
no problem look forward to your new growThank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my post. Lol, parental duty, good one! I'll definitely check out Nirvana,and Sweet seeds.
better if you want male to breed with or throw away. imo depending on the strain and the parents involved fems can be a bit hermie prone.I'm a fairly new grower and I've only grown feminized seeds but I'm thinking of trying regular seeds on my next run. I have some questions and need assistance.
1) Are regular seeds better than feminized seeds? If so, why?
usualy by the 4th or 5th node you should able to tell. Females tend to show sooner.2) How soon will the gender of the plant reveal itself and what do I look for to positively identify its gender?
sesame street would be my guess3)Why did I ever learn to count to three?
see answer to question 1.4)Is all of the hassle with growing regular seeds worth it?
no, good genetics and good growers produce better tasting weed5)Do regular seeds produce better tasting weed?
i'm very biased and like Cabinet of Curiosities Seeds :)I'm sure there are other questions that I missed and I'd appreciate any assistance. Also, which seed bank(s) carries the best regular seeds?
1)regular seeds are better because you have a greater gene pool, selfing limits this and with reg you have a greater chance of stability provided little/no intersex was used.I'm a fairly new grower and I've only grown feminized seeds but I'm thinking of trying regular seeds on my next run.

These are opinions. I would like to see the science behind this ... do you have a link? I realize that Dave Pope is the Pope of Pot, but I also think there's better sources for scientifically based studies.most of the top top breeders use minimal fems. Mostly regs. So there's another reason. You'll find better stuff shopping for regs.
Breeders self to establish traits and it saves a generation or 2 to become uniform or perhaps it's a standout or rare or they haven't had any as good through selection, selling them is so you can't just let the pack you bought screw and give you what it took them a long term investment to get too.These are opinions.

Barney's Farm seems to have a pretty good selection of both regular seeds and feminized seeds. Regs will have more genetic diversity and is why people use these in pheno hunts. Fems done right go through a selective breeding process to produce a stable offspring. Having grown both, I have not seen any difference between plant hardiness. Regs have been around since the plant first grew many centuries ago. Feminized seeds are much more recent, and it's taken a while to get to where we are today. Modern feminized seeds should not pose any issue to the average grower as long as the seeds come from a reputable breeder.
I've not had herm issues unless I use bag seed. I stopped doing that a few years ago. Granted, I keep only the best of my buds. My son in law gets the bulk of the rest of it. He's said that he's found a seed here and there although we're still talking along the lines of a seed or 2 in a pound, not an 1/8 oz. I call that pretty good success.its still likely to herm out at least 5-20 seeds throughout a whole plant anyway. Ive rarely seen a whole plant not give out at least 1 or 2 seeds along the way.
y athats what I meant. throughout an entire plant there's usually at least 3-5I've not had herm issues unless I use bag seed. I stopped doing that a few years ago.

I'll have to ask him about the lemon sunrise I grew. I found 1. I only kept a 1/ lb of it and gave him the rest. Lemon Sunrise is from regular seeds.y athats what I meant. throughout an entire plant there's usually at least 3-5
And I say there's nothing wrong with growing regs. If you're on a pheno hunt, you'll have more success with regs. If you're like me and growing because it's legal and the dispensary weed isn't very tasty ... Fems and Fast Fems work nicely.y athats what I meant. throughout an entire plant there's usually at least 3-5
I guess thats a different matter than someone being able to just breed a whole batch.
I say humbug with that proprietary clandestine shiznit. Once again there's plenty of reg breeders bringing the fire.
