Must be you don't germinate (male ratio) well..Most "hermie" problems are environmental, NOT inherited! Translation...Most complainers of hermies don't have their grow dialed in right! They do not sell "fake" seeds.....Unless you speak of GSC - NO ONE HAS REAL GSC!!!
...I don't tend to listen to many rumors,,,,,like I never had problems with Green House,(another one with rumors of less then good genetics) other then some early Dr. he gave me to test.....did not work well......He fixed it and reintroduced it....Works now. I mean, come on. They have won LOTS of cups!
Not bad. Nothing ever match's the original cutting from a clone only start....
I do like their Chem 91 after picking through the pheno's, I have one I still run right along with the original clone of Chem.
I might consider the one from HSO too. I have run that and it's good too.....In fact I have a friend that has run both and likes it (HSO's) so much he been running it for years.....

Just to clarify, are you saying there is a scientifically proven way of germinating seeds to give you no males? You also think hermies are not genetic whatsoever and the fault of bad growers? That's.....interesting.

No, no way to get 100% female from regular seeds...but certainly ways to greatly improve your female ratio....temp., humidity, light spectrum, etc. Do a little searching and you'll find some interesting stuff on this.
Again, you overstate the argument on hermies. You can certainly have a genetic propensity for hermies and this is usually well known for the strain. But when a strain not known for hermies is tossing out hermies, usually grower error.

I've grown out a lot of cali gear. Most of the strains they sell came from plants that selfed seeds or chucked pollen on a random plant luckily making some fire. I had to grow out dozens of plants to weed out hermaphrodites. Yes some will be herms and some won't in the same damn room. And yes room conditions can cause herms so no disrespect. If you have the space, time and patience you will find keepers from cc.
Had hermies from the cookies and Tahoe but 3 Others non cc did but light leak while gsc may or may not be real deal it was the strongest
The real issue was the Buddha taho had only 1 out of 5 germ and this has never been an issue ever got 1 left and the one that did was fine but took a back seat to many others which is fine aswell minimum of 2-300 cracked and it these are an issue the problem was let go because what was gained was the goods in better condition the herm issue was not too bad
Potency has a way of making people overlook things

Ok I'm glad I didn't spout too much out my ass because I basicly agree with you. The way I think about it is that everything about the plant is written in its DNA but it's up to the grower to provide proper nurture to better express the most desirable traits. I think we are on the same page.
To OP, I think it's basicly a dice roll as far as seeds being better than the original clones. The clone is proven dank so the guesswork and gamble is minimized. You may pop 10 seeds and get something incredible or maybe just a bunch of shit, but chances are none of them will be an exact copy of the clone.

Chopping down a HSO Green Crack tomorrow, dense bud with an amazing sweet fruity aroma. Its one of those plants you keep smelling and smelling again. Don't know if its like the clone but I'd recommend the HSO version.

HSO no doubt. I've been satisfied with everything I've run from them.

No,no, no.....
There are genetic hermies, no doubt.....But, I feel the large # of case's we see here are from "environmental" inequities.
As far as germinating for no males,,,,,,can't do that! I have over the years come to believe that I get less males from 24hrs in the freezer to 48 in the fridge and pop in paper towels on a heat mat and control the temp/humidity closely........That is most likely personal opinion as I have never really done any kind of testing to prove that.....
It's just what works for me to get less males! (last time I did that I got only 2 out of 18 beans male on straight run seeds)

I have CC Green Crack going now that I have had going for a year now. Got is as a freebie from tude a while back. She is HANDS DOWN better than HSO version. She stinks BADLY once harvested and broken up. Mine finishes around 8-9 weeks and is super Leggy. This thing will branch out like crazy.

True they had won many cups but berner has the real GSC.

Hey was thinking about running some of their gear next. What all have you tried from them?

Ahhh shit quite a few..I gotta think now Of course their version of Blue Dream, the Green Crack, Desert Diesel was very nice..Lost Coast OG, their version of Trainwreck, and finally I just chopped an Amherst Sour Diesel that looks like its gonna be great as well. Never had any hermie issues with any of them, and all of them had good potency ( or so I'm told, I myself don't smoke
) I only know what I experience myself but of all the strains I've run I really do think that HSO really has their shit together, and their stuff is as advertised.

You lost me at Cali Connection.
For the record, I had the clone for about 6 years. I know this strain very well. I grew tired of it and lost it, but now regret it.
It's the easiest plant ever to cure besides Blue Dream. Fire red pistils, trademark smell, lime green in color and the heaviest feeder I've ever seen. It's top shelf and unique. Massive yielder and pyramid shaped tops. There simply isn't another strain like it. Anyone who has possessed the clone knows exactly what I'm referring to.
Don't be fooled by Swerves attempts at replicating it. GC is like OG: lots of breeders try to replicate it, but the only true expression is found in the elite clone.
