Started a 600w grow using random seeds...worth it to keep or just buy feminized seeds

hey all, started a grow without really knowing anything about it all but have been learning the ways and upgrading the grow op to good standards.

currently there are 9 plants under a 600watt all growing in FFOF soil...all of the plants are from seeds from random sacks from an outdoor organic grower...the plants are all thriving and doing really well under the 600w MH... INtake, exhaust, temp, humididty, ppm and ph are all in check.

my question is is that if it is worth it to grow these seeds up and go through sexing them and throwing away the males or to just rip them all up and start over from feminized seeds? Ive also read that when you find random seeds in sacks there is a good chance of it being a hermie plant and i sure as shit dont want that...

i know there really is no black and white answer for this question...just looking for opinions

start to bud them as soon as you can don't let them get too big .. toss the males and learn from the rest of the grow.experiment like nute levels, topping,anything else your interested in so when you plant your good seeds you have every thing worked out and you maximized your potential.

still weighing out my options but thank you for the advice

also one more q, your thoughts on if i will get any hermies??

i planted 6 bagseeds 5 are fem and the 1 male got tossed.but while they were budding i learned of the hempy bucket......it is so much better then soil it cost me a lot less and the plants are so much easier to grow.if your interested in trying it pm me i can tell you everything you need to know.

i don't know if a seed is necessarily a hermie i think i could become a hermie from stress or shock or something.but if its a male you'll know soon,but if 1 ends up being a hermie you'll have seed in the bad branch i don't think its a big deal but if it looks like it may be a problem you can toss it then..

buuump


any more opinions would be really appreciated

It'll probably turn out great. Quality of the grower trumps the quality of seed every time. I think ppl overstress the hermie thing. Any MJ plant can hermie, so having seed that came from hermie pollination doesn't necessarily increase that chance and heck, you don't know that that's where they came from anyway. I grew out a bunch of bagseeds last year thinking it was a "practice grow" but hell, it turned out great. Good enough that I kept the rest of the seeds even though I'd bought some good genetics in the meantime. The bagseed turned out to have some pretty strong traits of its own.
