BagSeed Farmers

Im wondering...for those new growers or paranoid to order seed types like myself who've done bagseed growing....how'd it turn out? Waste of time? Was it better or worse than the bag of bud you got the seeds from?

Just wondering. The experience of greowing is good enough for me...but having something decent to smoke would make all the better.

So how was it? Yield?

bag seed cant be too bad, ppl buy it.
all ive ever grown is bag seed, not that ive grown much. a mates had a couple nice plants from bag seed, couple shit ones too.
ive been smoking a hermie for the last month or so, still picking little popcorn buds off the remaining stems. didnt look like much, buds were pretty thin, probly ~1/2oz plus ~50 seeds, but its not a bad smoke.
considering the care i gave it, i watered it, ill be growing it again. with some care it should grow some decent size nugs.
i was happy to get seeds from it as i havent got any left.

hermie seeds will produce hermies if i am correct... youd be better of spending £10 and getting a pack from nirvana

a bag seed could be anything, just because the bud that it came from isnt good dosnt mean that you will get the same weed if you grow it, it will be much better if you grow it right

well it would be the same strain but higher potencey

My last grow was bag seed and its been one of the best smokes iv ever had. It smells like oranges Peace

hermies are only a prob if youve got other plants.
for me this hermie was a good thing, if it was either male or female i would have been out of seeds now.
its about AU$50 for seeds everywhere ive looked, and thats for the cheap ones.

yes good that you now have seeds. but those will be hermie seeds. some of them will be more female than male, and others the other way around, but you wont be able to grow a pure sensi crop with hermie seeds...

should be able to get you through till you can get better seeds though! good luck

what are you talking about, just because a seed came out of a bag dosnet mean that its going to be a hermi, they are made the same way that every other seed is make, by polinating a female,

odd statement because of the hermie but true, seeds cost shit-loads of money, especially if you haven't mastered cloning or strictly outdoors where cloning is kind a tricky. same reason why i won't kill my males as soon as they reveal their sex. the strongest one stays for pollen so i can grow seeds in the lower sucker buds
but i never had a hermie for that job

i love growing bagseed outdoors, you just never know what you have. its only a strain that has lost its name somewhere out there. i collect bagseed from all of my friends grow em out and share the bud with them, you do get a few dud plants sometimes but i get duds with seedbank bought beans as well!. just my 2cents!

GROW ON!

ive got one cutting from my current plant in a jiffy, no gel/powder, under an 11w CFL in my room, its 4.5 days old and looking alright so far and thats my total experience with cloning.


pics in my gallery are bag seed too

I have been collecting bagseeds for a wile, all I grow are bagseeds. I got what has been ID'ed as Hash Plant. It was cloned at harvest and is veging well. Got some sock weed too... Smells like a stinky sock but had a good high, didn't clone it. Got 1 seed from a bag of badass Dro and its an inch tall now. I am content growing bagseeds, Nothing comes in my house nothing goes out...

You all have some good points. I was figuring that most commercial weed isnt given the atention that you/I would give it when growing. So, I would hope that a home grower would get the most out of the seed. I wouldnt expect a homegrown seed to be "White Widow" good or even close to that.

What I didnt expect to hear was small yields. I thought that was more to do with the grower than the seed. Well I have a few plants...just hoping for the best. The bag I got them from was pretty good for "street bud" w/little to few seeds and the smoke had me on my ass. Not easy to do as I have been smoking for over 20yrs.

Regarding getting a bunch of hermies from bagseed....I would think that a seed is a seed. I think the hermie seeds are just as viable as any. The grower is the one allowing a seed to grow into a hermie (could be wrong).

Gotta think...if plants that produce seeds are bad....then where the hell do they get the seeds to sell from a seedbank? Just curious.

And what about yields....havent heard much response to the question of yield when growing from bagseed.

As

seeds from a hermie should produce more females, but with an increased ratio of hermies.

yup my last grow was seeds outta kick ass weed called endless sky i planted those babies the smoke was awesome thats them in my avitar or w/e

yup my last grow was seeds outta kick ass weed called endless sky i planted those babies the smoke was awesome thats them in my avitar - And they look well worth the effort....bagseed or not!

Ive been thinking more and more aon ordering some beans though. If I do...I'd probably drop a chunck on them and get a few strains. I wouldnt want to make 4 or 5 orders...I'd get it all done in one.

Then maybe swap a few or offer a few if to some people I think would appreciate them. If I had an alternate address to have them mailed to....I would have done it already.

well just make sure your not in the middle of growing and you shoud be fine.


also from what i hear about hermies from some of you guys. your totally wrong.

here we go....

all strains have genetics and each strain has hermie genes in it. the only way to bring out hermie is with stress or girberellic acid. so when you say if you get seeds from a hermie plant they become hermie. totally wrong. they have a better chance of being female. when a hermie inpollenates itself its called selfed. now go onto the next and go look at the strain cali orange. the way they got seeeds from that plant is because they selfed it. putting garberellic acid on they most dominant female clone to produce the first seeds of that strain.


thats why that strain.. some ppl call it imbreed because its breeding with the same genetics.


alright peace

this is bag seed

check out my grow...........lol

the link is in my signature below

nothing wrong with bagseed, thats probably just normal seed (ie. females polinated by males), with a split chance of being male or female (or hermie with stress). but hermie seeds will only produce hermies. these hermies will either be male or female dominant, so will appear to me all female or all male. on closer inspection you will discover a few pollen sacks/pistils depending on the dominant sex.
if hermies seeds are then cross bred with a pure female then the female genetics are increased.

here's a link; hightimes.com grow

pretty sure this information is correct cali high and primeralives, but as noones in my corner i feel like i should be wrong...
