Is it worth growing bag seed?

Hmmm....grow bag seed and have your own marijuana, or don't and have to purchase crappy bud for $15-$20 per gram. Is this really a question?

Last year I bought a bag of chemdawg. Found about 3 seeds and planted all of them around May here in CO. Now I have one huge flowering plant that has taken over my 6x8 greenhouse. It is my first time grow as I can do it legally now but I'm kinda worried about potency and THC content. Will it be the same as the herb it came from?

might as well. If your getting seeds in your nugs you buy you might as well grow your own for better quality

Shit I just found a ceed in an amazing bag of iranian g13. Can't wait to get home and pop it.

I have a collection of ceeds from amazing 'dro' from back in the day. While I may not know the genetic makeup, who cares if then plant turns out to be amazing. Many awesome, welknown Strains have been found this way as one offs. I have enough geneticsrunning now which should be high quality so I can pop a few mystery ceeds now.

I know this post is super old

I found two of these in some of the best weed I've ever smoked...
I got it from a club in sac

What are the odds if I plant it,
It will come out like the weed it came out of ???

The story is that chemdawg came from "bagseed", but it sure as hell wasn't a random bag of cheap Mexican schwagg. If you believe the story (which is questionable), it came from a bag of privately grown top-dollar stuff.

Again, not all "bagseed" is created equal. Ceeds found in bags of high-end bud are likely to be the offspring of plants that went "hermie" due to stress or borderline genetics. These plants "could" be excellent, or they could be hermie prone (or both!).

If you're specifically talking about smuggled-in Mexican weed, there is actually a pretty wide variety of plants those can come from. Most "schwagg" contains mostly landrace Mexican sativa genetics, but a lot of the lines are hybridized now, and these can contain some Dutch/indica genetics mixed in, or even (supposedly) autoflower genetics. What in any individual bag is a crap shoot, and you don't really know what you're going to get until you try growing it.

Are these worth growing? I think they are. I've done this many times, and never finished one that I later thought was a waste of time.

I think the most important caveats here are that sativa-heavy genetics tend to stretch on flowering, and can take a long time to finish. If you are in a part of the country with early winter, and you end up with a long-flowering sativa, and you are growing OUTDOORS, the plants may not finish before frosts come.

I've grew out cheap brown ugly mexican bag seed on my first grow. Outside in a veggie garden didn't care for it properly at all and I ended up with some OUTSTANDING smoke. That half hearted first grow turned me into the grow addict I am today.

You got a good chance at having a more hermie prone plant but that is what I heard for the reason their is so many different Girl Scout Cookies lines but the problem is most of them are producing fucking pollen so I'm not so interested in GSC plenty of good weed that ain't prone to hermie.

You can get something really good obviously may not even hermie.

Yep its worth it.....

So now what ?

Can I put it into soil
Tips advice ?

Woke up this morning and the paper towel was a little dry
Like 70% I'd say will this effect it ?

BEAUTIFUL MAN!!! Would love to get more info on what you have there. Bag seds have been worth it to me. I've ordered 2 times. The first was a pick n mix from the tude. I was a rookie then, and didn't know A THING about cloning. My second order was lost...never got shit. And...I was lucky enough to be gifted an Afghooeyxtrainwreck clone. ( not to be confused with Afwreck) that died in a basement flood.however I was gifted about 20 Strawberry Dogshit seeds from a friend. And a King Louis viii OG freebie spot out about a dozen seeds. and about 9 months ago a found 1 seed in an oz. Of some killer. It is a stanky lanky Sweet purple skunk that sprayed a litter box true purple. Grade A smoke. Sounds like a dream and it gets better every time I run it. I found an excellent strawberry dogshit mail and open-pollinated a room a strawberry dogshit and the King Louie mother. Even though the movie was from a feminized seed I still was able to Goetz a few Keepers and decided on one that was most like the mother. Somehow I found a couple of boys in there and took the best one and hit the mother with it and got a few seeds from that. All that being said I still I'm looking forward to running the cbd-crew skunk Haze. Because yes you can get some killer smoke from bag seeds but as far as overall performance I would go with a reputable Seedbank preferably with roots in either Northern California or Colorado and I would go with regular seeds

I've been holding onto two seeds I got from Attitude about two years ago, The Blue Hash didn't sprout and the Diesel did but she got fried in the sun while I took a nap. Haven't grown for over two years now and my skills are showing . Anyways I'm no longer interested in ordering seeds from overseas and since I don't live in a medical state it'll be pretty damn hard for me to get some feminized babies, and my connect for cuttings is iffy so I'd rather not take a chance. Anyways I bought all this FFOF and pots with nothing to put in them. Deciding about giving in and growing some bag seeds. What's your opinion on Feminized to Regular seeds? Do any of you grow bag seed every time? Just don't want to out in all this effort to get a male or worse...two .

Honestly i am growing 2 seedbag plants right now one is definitely indica the other sativa. And they look better and growing nicer then other bought seeds also they seem to both be looking fem [this next part is not truth just a personal theory ] i think they where born from a hermaphroditic plants which would make sence why both random seeds are female so my guess unless it was a male in the group. Because other then silver colwhatever its called if how you get fem seeds. Any bag seed l as long as it was stored correctly[ like in my case 3 years in a cool dark basement no freezing no heat and stored away from shit like towels sponges paper anything that holds moisture cuz it will activate ]and not cured by fire will rehydrate and produce as long as you can grow better then the last guy it will come out better.

At what point would I know if my bag seed' seed was a hermi? If I grow 10 bagseeds what's my chances of getting 1 plant all the way to harvest with no hermI?

know this is old but yeah thus far.. my 2 bag seeds were both fully female.. and both look great... week 1 of flower heading to week 2..both indica dominant and are 4 feet tall .. about a foot a week of growth .. and were very thick until the flowering stretch..now normal
Free.. and 2 for 2 on female.. cant complain..

Just ran some bagseed from 15 yrs back, chunkers, probably go through more and keep looking the one was close to a keeper and chunks up heavy. Mix it up, folks are loving old school bud these days, these were herm seeds from a big dollar cut
