ATTENTION SEED COLLECTORS, come one come all...i need soem advice,lol

Pretty much as commercial as it gets strain wise so they should be all be well documented and very easy to find, use the search bar or Google you'll find loads of threads, grow/smoke reports in seconds

yah, like munkie said already, greenhouse are pretty much the walmart of the canna world tbh, not one of my faves for sure.. they tend to have lots of issues with hermies, and if you get any of their fem'ed stuff, it's pretty much a sure bet that you're going to get a hermie or two from them... they tend to worry more about pumping out more and more strains instead of working a line first to make sure it's nice and stable before releasing anything to the public..
barneys farm from what i've read on them can also be pretty hit and miss as well.. some of their stuff can be very nice, and some of the other stuff, not so much so..

i've run a lot of fem seeds in the past, you've just got to stay away from the ones that tend to have hermie issues with their fem stuff like ghsc is famous for .... and also, i've heard the barney's can be hit and miss with their stuff as well like i said..
some of the best fem stuff i've run has come out of dr greenthumbs stables.. i don't know wtf he does up their in canada, but his fems are incredible imo.. you pay for them, granted, but he's got the whole fem thing down for sure..
i've also used dna / reserva pervada, sagarmatha, dutch passion, g13 labs, and a few others as well.. all with no issues..

Well in that case... I have tried SLH from GHSC but they hermied up on me 5 weeks in so I binned them off there & then and vowed never to grow out any of their gear again, King Kush & Church did the same thing all in the same room but a single (freebie) Blue Widow from Dinafem that was in there wasn't affected at all other than being pollinated by the rest lol. Dialed in room that had a few successfull rounds of clone grows in there before that one too and no stress shown at all just badly made seeds/genetics that cost me a lot of time & money. I did manage to try some from a dealer here where I am though and wasn't overly impressed by it even then tbh.
As racerboy already said too their both pretty much hit & miss, and are both more of a hype marketing and money making interest companies that are getting more & more bad reviews every year, with loads of reports of bad genetics and only a handfull of good reviews.
I hope you get better luck than I did though. Stay up's & happy growing

Don't let one bad exp' with seeds put you off indefinately from seed growing either mate, there is quality out there you just got to look out a bit more for them.

dang guys all this hermie talk is kinda scaring me, i only run 3 plants or so at a time (click on my signature if u wanna see the set up, im currently 6.5 weeks into flowering one the current grow).... is there anything i can do to avoid , or help avoid, the hermie issues????...fox farm OF soil, 400 watt HPS, temps stay very constant around 80 degrees w lights on,(mid 70s with lights off) humidity 50%ish.... what can i do to stay sweet, i dont want no hermies when i only do 3 at a time...

your setup and growing style sounds a lot like mine as i only grow a few at a time for personal use only..
but in order to avoid hermies, you pretty much want to avoid any kind of mistakes that people make.. no light leaks, don't stress them what so ever.. don't over or under feed them, and pretty much keep your fingers crossed, lol.. other than doing what i'm sure you do for every grow, there's not much you can do to assure that you don't get any hermies honestly.. just keep a good eye on them once they hit flowering..

To keep any signs of hermies away just keep doin what your doin tbh mate, with feminised seeds I've found they stress out far more easy & quicker than regular seed plants do, keep the temps level no hot/cold spots and such, the feeds/ph right and no light leaks at all and you'll be fine, if the worst happens there's not a lot you can do other than learn from the exp and move on.
I really didn't mean to scare you off at all either, just wanted to give you a heads up from my own exp' with them, it's better to be ready with back up's in case the worst does happen I had to start from scratch

yah, skunk gave me a good idea.. maybe you could start some more seeds or have some clones ready to go into flower if you have any hermie issues.. this way you want be having to completely starting all over as if you didn't have something going for a a back up plan..

I think u will be ok with super lemon haze asnd lemon skunk.

Those are 2 strains that I actuslly hear good things about.

Id never run barneys or greenhouse personally, but its not a death sentance lol. I'm sure you will get some good plants, just keep a close eye on them.

I don't understand how so many thousands of bad reviews on ghsc and barneys and ppl just buy them more than any other companies. Its like, obviously if your getting a clone only strain for 30$ a pack, its not the real thing or of good quality.

i have been growing SLH for about 2 years now. germed 3/5 and found 2 i like and 1 i really like and kept that 1 and been clonig the shit outta her. the SLH has a few different phenos and can yield really nicely, i have also grown 3 of their churches which is so so but i have never had a hermie.
