Nice, that looks healthy and very saliva looking.
Abiqua, are you saying that a plant I can get from bag seed is just as stable as the seeds I can get from breeders online? I have a plant that I got as a bag seed off some quality bud and it hasn't seeded on me the first round. I've always thought that hermie is a bad genetic trait some plants have and if you grow a seed from hermie it will turn into a hermie at one point.OG came from bag-seed...Do we need to start a list?...so many distortions of what can actually happen.
Is it a reverse? Probably....does it mean its worthless, hardly? Reversed strains have no more chance of becoming reversed than a regular male/female line......bad info repeatedly says otherwise..but genetically these types of traits are survival instincts in the genome of ALL plants..some are expressed some aren't, the potential exists in ALL plants, again. Thanks.
many strains are reverses of reverses...don't be fooled by all the horseshit.

My seed came from buds I got from a dispensary. The seed grows just as good of buds, if not better than the original. I'm wondering how stable it is because I'm revegging that plant since I didnt take any clones from her.In theory yes, A good breeder is only as good as the genes they start to work with...
Breeders all the time release F1's that are unstable as all hell and then there are breeders [Dj Short] who is quoted as saying that nothing released is less than an F5!
Google around and see how many people complain about a certain "regular" strain showing balls...happens alot...
One problem from a reversed seed, bagseed especially, is, that you probably don't know the history of the parents...and you will have to really inbreed to make selections that worth taking a look at.....if its grounds to be a keeper at some point.....the breeder in some cases, will know the lineage of their breeding stock [hopefully].
There are many lines with selfing abilities, all the little mysteries throughout the various IBL lines worldwide... the only problem I can think of breeding with bagseed [usually fems] Moms.....is that you probably want to eventually backcross to make sure you have some stability, because technically you only have 1 copy of genes in a reverse, you will need to eventually outcross to a stud, if its stable AND losing vigor.
Mine too game from OG lineage. OG was a bag seed itself.I want to share that my first grow was from bagseed. When I was rolling a joint I found two seeds, and I couldn't believe they came from the fire weed I was rolling.
I know now it was a og dominate strain with hermaphroditism tendencies. I grew it for four rounds before I bought my first seeds from the 'tude.
That shit ignited my passion for cultivation

Time will tell ....I am of the opinion of keeping everything, come hell or highwater..I just catalog, even the shit.My seed came from buds I got from a dispensary.

I have the opposite view. I have saved and grown seeds from bags of fire. It its fine. Chance for a hermi, yes. How many breeders found their jewel in bag seed?With all the time and expense involved when considering everything else but seeds, why fuck around with a possible loss? Humor me. I'm an old Marine and retired RN and like to hear other people's views on some of these things. Toss those damned things in a garbage disposal.
Don't get me wrong here. I have done it and will. Chemdawg arose from a single seed in a bag of smoke from a Grateful Dead concert. But a whole lot of folks read these posts later and so many seem to haveI have the opposite view. I have saved and grown seeds from bags of fire. It its fine. Chance for a hermi, yes.

I don't know. I see both sides. In my indoor limited space grow, I use stable fem seed from breeders. Outside, I plop all kinds of bag seed down. Mexi brick too.
Curiosity killed the cat.
True. I'll agree that is probably the best thing to do in that situation.Don't get me wrong here. I have done it and will. Chemdawg arose from a single seed in a bag of smoke from a Grateful Dead concert. But a whole lot of folks read these posts later and so many seem to have
So, again, if I only had the space for a plant or two I would not do bagweed unless I had no other seeds.
- Limited space
- Limited light capability
- Money issues buying everything
I thought the action of looking in the box "killed" the cat?Curiosity killed the cat.
Geez he's told you they were purples of some kind. Lot less mystery there. Go for it!Most bagseed i have had came out pretty decent but now im stuck because my cousin gave me a big bag full of seeds and said it was a purple strain not specifying at all. So now im pretty much playing roulette. They stink bad tho. Moral of the story just go for it
