Bag seeds

So after looking through a number of threads, i'm feeling pretty confident in trying out some bag seeds i have laying around. But what i want to know is, has anyone had a bad experience with bag seed? Most people claim they can be a hit or miss, but in the end, the majority of people who have actually tried bag seeds only come to the conclusion that the final product has actually exceeded their expectations. So please help me come to a conclusion! lol, ohh and the seeds i have come from decent homegrown and a few others from some failed bud my buddy tried to grow( looked like a nice sativa dom though).

Its pot roulette any way you wanna look at it..you might have the next big thing or some ditch weed..usually I find bagseed in inferior weed,grow it,and give the original supplier of the seed a bud,and tell him to give it to his buddies and tell them to learn to grow weed right..
For the most part my experiences have been good..remember 'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree..'
Good luck!

Bag weed, grown out as sensimilla will normally be better than what you got in the bag.

See here for my last bagseed grow report:

The quick answer to the question is that it depends entirely on what bag you find the se-ed in!

Bagseeds either come from outdoor grown stuff (like the Mexican schwagg, above), or indoor grown stuff that was pollinated by a hermie plant. Either way, the genetics could potentially be good. If you like the buds in the bag the se-eds came from, there is a pretty good chance you'll like buds grown from those seeds.

The biggest issue with bagseeds is that you have no idea what you're going to get until you grow it.

You don't really know how tall your plant is going to get, nor how long it will take flowering until you actually try it. If your bagseeds came from indoor grown plants, they may be an odd and unintentional cross between two random plants somewhat unlike the mom they came from, or they may be hermie prone (or both).

But so long as you know what you're doing and approach these with the right (ie modest) expectations, I don't think you can go too wrong. In my opinion, you're certainly better off growing bag seeds than buying schwagg or not growing at all.

Have I had a bad experience with bagseed? Yes. I've pulled pure hermie plants, as well as low yield stretchy sativas. So, these things are real risks. But still, when you're a new grower, even these things are good learning experiences.

Well your answer is right there amongst your original post. "the majority of poeple...exceeded their expectations". So there ya go. That being said, I woukd bet most people (but not all) who grow out bagseeds are new to growing and are just hsppy to get free weed in the end. Theyre probably not connoisseurs so of couse itll be decent to them. Just my 2 cents.

It's pretty cheap and easy to get good, genetically solid beans from a number of sources these days. I started growing bagseed of course, but there was maybe one possibly sketchy place to get seeds at the time. Buy some seeds man it's so worth it! The source of your bagseeds is crap too. The source of the bagseeds I had success with was kind bud. I just didn't know what kind.

I love finding bagseed, only if I know what it came from but especially if it's from a dispensary.
