... for sure. they sure look and smell good. Plus the seeds were free.
I've done bagseed, outdoor guerilla grows for many years and yes they are invaluable for learning the basics from germination to harvest/curing. While the relative cost of breeders seeds may seem high, in my mind it is actually a good value with the advent of "feminised" seeds. I just figure that if I am going to all the trouble and risk of a grow, I might as well at least increase my chances of sucess by planting and tending as many females as possible. There is nothing more frustrating than carefully tending a crop all summer only to have a bunch of males pop up. I doubt that the local law enforcement or the DEA would make the distinction between girls and boys (or care for that matter.) On the other hand, a lot of bagseed grows go surprisingly well as much of what you might believe as "reggie" or "scwag" is actually quite potent it's just that it was grown under poor conditions or even cured improperly. I got some seeds from a buddy of mine about 10 years ago that was known for his ditchweed. I planted them in a isolated area well away from my other patches as I had little hope they would do much. At harvest, these plants were heavy producing, sativa-dominant with yields averaging 14oz+/plant and was incredibly potent, fire weed. Nothing like what my buddy had aquired.
