Question about Feminized seeds

[newbie1122]

Can you take cuttings from plants grown with feminized seeds? I seem to remember reading somewhere that you can't take cuttings from such plants, but maybe I am confused.

Thanks

you might of read it, that wouldnt surprise me at all, their is alot of misinfiormation out there. you can clone from em just fine.

I took cuttings from fem seed plants, the same ones for 3 years before switching them out for new ones.

You're fine, just follow normal growing guidelines, I still prefer non-fem though...

It may be a newbie question but may I ask why?
Is there an advantage to using reg over fem seeds?

In my experience, regular seeds are somewhat stronger, and have a lot less chance of turning hermaphrodite.

I have been growing since 1992, indoor and outdoor, and the first time I have ever seen a hermaphrodite, was when I started ordering fem seeds.

The chance of hermi is determined by parents genetics.
Good breeders chose good parents an test them.
Garbage in=garbage out with all seeds.

I love fem seeds!

Fem seeds come from hermie genetics, it is just the good seedbanks have good genetics with a smaller chance of herming out.

fine for cuttings , never had a problem

Ive kept mothers that were fem for years, cloned shit loads and never had any problems.

CS an Sts do not hermi a plant, the silver bonds to the copper in the plant this prevents it from making flowers.
The treated plant will in essence be "male", not hermi.

You were probably thinking of autoflower plants. You can't take clones off them, the clones will be the same age as the parent plant.

Thanks for the info. My thought is if I am going to purchase seeds, then I should get feminized seeds, because then there aren't any wasted seeds. If you buy 10 regular seeds, how many of them will be female? There is always a chance that all 10 would be male, and then I wasted my money. Or is that naive? I just don't want to waste my money.

its possible they could all end up male but that chance is incredibley small. the average is about 50/50 usually.
