Tis true, there are many great growers here, but also mostly idiots, just as it is everywhere you go and look lol. I hear you on the feminized part but dealing with feminized seeds always increases risks of hermie, as you already know. I disagree that its all done for money and not for the development of medicine because there are many medical growers that only have time and space to deal with feminized seeds. Granted it definitely is lucrative but there are advantages of using feminized seeds. I personally recently started using them and I've had great results from Sannies, however the SLH I have was from cuttings. I like to run 10 or so strains and I have a very limited space so I don't have time or space to deal with seeds other than fem or cuttings for the most part. I'm also not a fan of hillbilly breeders trying to breed when they don't have a clue what they're doing so I don't use many genetics if I don't know where they came from. I've grown too many strains out that people raved about that just turned out to be buds for hash. In a nutshell, i have no problems paying more for seeds as long as I know the breeder is doing the work necessary to make the strains the best they can be.... Growing out hundreds, thousands of plants and choosing the best of the best as opposed to Hillbilly Jim who grows 3 and chooses the best lookin' lady lol.
Thanks for the good luck wishes, the first one turned out well considering it fell to the ground from about 3' high several times and the container was too small for flowering. I don't really do a journal but I will share pics when I flower her. I'm trying to bush her out like crazy, super cropping and LST in veg currently, going to try a scrog with her if I can manage her for long enough.
