You will never know what you get untill you smoke it. From my experience, appearance of the bud or fast grow rate in veg is not a sign of quality at all…
Yes the only way to make a proper decision is to keep a clone off every single seed labeled accordingly. Flower them all and then weed out the “moms” you don’t like.
Fems are better because they are made from two parents that are definitely fire instead of a known good mother and a questionable male.
I know, I’ve got a lot of space to work with so I’m gonna take cuttings from all of them so I can test the final products with some buddies before making a decision on which cut to keep as mom. Unless there’s a more efficient way I haven’t thought of?
this is the exact answer I was looking for. Thank you. I’m about to order some seeds, how many should I get? They’re a bit pricey.
I can't tell you how many to get but there are some cheap fems available on gloseedbank.com with their "sttddeals" schtick (check the GLO thread and sign up for the email). Most of the CSI:H gear is $50 a pack there, theres some good sounding gear from Stray Fox for $35 a pack, some of the Savage Genetics gear is $70 with a full sized freebie so it's basically $35 a pack. Founding Fathers $50, Clearwater is like $65-$75 for most. 5 packs of Lit gear for $160 but some freebies might not be fems, the lit farms part is the most confusing part of the email.
good to know. Thanks man!
AFAIK, Humboldt Seed ORGANIZATION is bulk crap from Spain.
"regs" should be short for "regression towards the mean" because that is what happens every time someone chucks a great cut with a stem rubbed male
Maybe for some breeders but ones like mentioned above humbolt seed co. grow out f4 f5 very stable and consistent u won’t get that in fems
lol, I Plan on upgrading to a 4x8 from a 4x4. I have an HLG scorpion Rspec, so I’ve been looking at other lights that will cover the other 16 sq/ft. Just decided on an RIU
HSC's fems aren't as stable and consistent as the regs of the same filal generation? I would expect their female seeds to be even better because the breeder can directly observe the female flower traits of both parents. There is no reason at all why fems can't be bred to be at least as stable and consistent as regs and of course selfing is an extremely powerful stabilizing technique that is not available to reg breeders. Maybe you know something I don't, please enlighten us.
This is not true anymore…
Fems aren't made from two fire cuts anymore? That's what seems to be happening when I browse the banks. Breeders are chucking their best/latest cut against all of their keepers.
