Stacked Kush tasted great. The most flavorful strain I've grown.

An S1 is the easiest way to find bad recessive traits.

I am not against fems, as I've grown some myself that I absolutely loved. From a basic mendelian inheritance model, selfing a female plant with potentially undesirable or desirable as one may see it would only be reinforced when growing fem beans. Personally, I don't thing their better or bad, but I prefer genetic diversity and a wider generic pool. It has its place.

I see it pretty much the same way. There's a lot of bullshit out there regarding this subject.

You guys are way better growers than me but I really hate doing regs..waiting to sex sucks!! As far as this thread..I just want to say I grew some frrebies from [email protected] or santa marta and what lovely tasting smoke this is. Like pineapple hash in a really good way. Some of the citrus flavors I really am not fond of but this is really good

Hold on to that Santa Marta. Not that many of those seeds went out. You are a lucky man.

I feel ya on the waiting, to quote Mr. Petty, "the waiting is the hardest part". Regular beans can be a pain, as someone with a "plant count" or space limitations it can work out fine. Seeing as I do perpetual, I always have known performers in my garden, so I can test new beans out in smaller pots and still not worry if I get some males.

I started off growing femmed seeds and i am used to transplanting when I think it's time. With these damn regs I have to wait. Plus I have trouble filling my tent with the exact number of plants I want. Seems like growing regs takes just a bit more time and effort..which sometimes I have in abundance and sometimes not. Seems like if you don't grow both you are limiting yourself..er or I am limiting myself or something

I feel ya on that, too, I have to completely disrupt my continual harvest setup for my new seeds, but I just wanted some new genetics, no risk, no reward. In the long run it's gonna slow down everything, but i'm not commercial, and there is zero possiblilty that i'll run out of herb, so i'm ok with the disruption. Not to mention i've only found one strain in the last four years that i deemed worthy to keep a mother from (a grapegod special pheno) and my answer to the tastiest is simply the Jack Herer, one of my all-time favorites. Great high, great taste, good cloner, no mold and pretty good yields as well.

Breeding stock. IMO, it would be worth selfing to see what you get. If they're all similar, that's a potentially valuable plant for future breeding.
You can get hybridized feminized seed as well. Genetic diversity is still there if done properly. Can't say who is doing that properly though. I intend to do a few feminized crosses with some fairly highly inbred lines.

Could cause a lack of males possibly Hermie further down the line. Also it is an extreme form of bottlenecking just look at our pure bred dogs see just what bottlenecking does they all have genetic problems. That's why Chimera uses a few males from a line in his crosses so as to prevent genetic bottlenecking. Not to mention fem breeders are a joke a bunch of hacks who can't pick a male.

You're wrong about hermaphrodism. You're correct that genetic diversity is important. And you can do feminized lines that are not bottlenecked. Doesn't mean most are doing this. Most probably aren't.

They definitely are not! But breeders who offer only fem seeds and throw out new 50 strains per year on the market.. They sure are hacks.
Sannies is a great guy with heart of gold
. Anyone who sais otherwise probably never delt with him.

plus, Sannie uses males to make a lot of his strains, so i'm confused, whats the connection here?
