So here's a random question. Is there really any benefit of using "regular" seeds from a breeder instead of fem?

I heard that females from regular seeds create stronger mothers. A buddy of mine sent me a ton of great strains but theyre regs. I just don't think its worth the risk of not grabbing a male soon enough since I am a n00b. Stick with fem?

Ive read regular seeds are more raw, larger variation of phenotypes. Perhaps theres phenos that the regular seeds carry but the feminised ones dont or are much rarer.
I have saw some great genetics im itching to try but they are regular only. Me personally i dont have the time or patience to grow regular seeds.

Sorting out males is easy and not as risking as new growers think. Don’t be afraid of regular seeds, that’s what all seeds started as.

When male plants do show sex you have plenty of time to remove them before you ever have to worry about pollen. As long as you are paying any attention to your plants it’s easy to see. It also teaches you what males look like vs females so you can better understand these plants and become a better grower.

Regular seeds are usually far cheaper than feminized.

I think im going to stick with fem just due to the fact that I only have a specific amount of space, and really dont have any experimentation room for possible males lol.
