Do you grow fem or normal? Why

[~Dankster~420]

Dankster... omg mate that looks yummy. My friends always ask why I never submit my breeds... I'm working on an F2 right now called Bioshock. (Lowryder#2 X mango) X (sweetooth X blueberry auto)

Those are current genetic back trained one generation. I plan on Crossing a 60 day lemon with auto blueberry and my it up a bit more but that will be Bioshock infinite (the plan is to take the F2 cross and selectively breed it for flavor for a new F1). I am selectively breeding no pics at but damn yours is nice and I can't even like button it.

Thanks.. Yeah I have been growing breeding strains now for a good while (15 yrs) total. Planned on opening a bank back in the day with my Father, but due to him passing away it put a damper on things. Glad 2 say its now in the works again.

The results are very surprising to say the least thus far.

regular seeds are the only way,im not saying that fem seeds don't have there place if you new to growing i would start with them for one or two grows but then move over to regular seeds.

I don't like the idea that the slightest mistake could have your plants throwing you seeds with fem seeds,i think a lot don't
know that fem seeds,are produced by stressing a female to produce male parts.

Plus once you suss regular seed growing you can keep them genetics for has long has you like,just a tad more work
but its key to understanding the plant,sexing a picking out the best of the females.

Fem seeds you near all ways grow out say a pack of 5 you will do all 5 with regular you can keep the traits certain
plants grow,eg same strain some will be more stockie indica but out of the same set of seeds you might get a taller
plant.this gives you options that will suit your room.

Not only that its good to have a nice female and cross her with a male of another strain that you like,but i do all my breeding
in summer, well away from my out door girls,but some of the nicest bud i have ever seen has been done in this way.another
4 week and my out door season is about to kick of with regular seeds.I would never advice growing fem seeds out side
too many factors come into play.The last thing i want is for the plants that make me work for the bud to have seeds.but on the other plot it is seeds i want.

Hey.. Here's a strain I have going now a good friend & business partner breed in memory of my Mother this past year. Noticed your name was "Marie".. This strain name is Marie's Sapphire.. just thought I would share her with everyone

Nice to remember your mother in this way two great woman,This is what i mean growing for bud is what its about but
you soon get onto bigger and better things.

Breeding plants that you love why have two strains you love when with a little graft you can breed the two.

Its the way of keeping this plant around for ever,not only that if ya not doing this co - sha if ya get my drift seeds
are far easyer to hide from the beast.without loseing your genetics.

Oh yeah 4 sure. I made sure all of my genetics are "safely" stored away for future keeping. just in case a tragedy (fire,flood,etc') ever happens, like you said to preserve the genetics. Hopefully by the time our opening rolls around we will have at least a hand full of our genetics in feminized. It's in the works as of now. Just hard to keep colloidal silver on hand. I have made it in the past and have the setup to do so, its just a pain in the ass dealing with all that with what all I have going on presently.

Feminised always! Because I buy from single seed, and am poor. I ordered some seeds once and the regular strain turned out to be male, and I had only one seed of that strain for me its worth a few extra bucks to know, instead of waiting a month to be disapointed. If I were ordering packs of seeds (3-5) Id maybe role the dice.

 

[Owellian]

Normal always- UNLESS I sprout some of the free feminized seeds that are often thrown in with my purchase of normal breeder packs. If I do find a strain in that manner that seems interesting, I'll then seek 30 non-feminized seeds to look for a great male and female pheno.

I understand feminized seeds are a better fit for more casual growers- but if you're very serious about finding a winning phenotype that fits your needs you need to go through several non-feminized seeds to find the male and female champions your looking for.

 

[Cobnobuler]

Well, again there are some very good reasons why fem seeds are best and the right choice for many peoples circumstances.

Spot on!! couldn't had said it better myself.

When you order what do you order? And why?

 

[blowincherrypie]

I have only ordered fem in the past, but I ordered and am running a couple Bodhi's beans (RKU and Goji) currently so I guess I'll see how this turns out.. I've only heard great things bout his gear, however, I have limited space so if it winds up not being worth it they may make it to the "vault."
