I speak from my own personal experences, in fact i took the seeds from my best bud all year and grew them not once but twice only to realized that i could have grown 2 good batches.
years later i only use the best seeds i can buy from breeders.
Currently i am using Sensi Star from delicious seeds and am very happy. I grew this strain in 07 from paradise and was very impressed.
youre pretty much relying on your friend to have good seeds, and if he does, then of course youll get good seeds. if i were to give some seeds from my current grow (super lemon haze, sour kush, and motavation), it would be considered "bagseed" too once it leaves my house in a little ziploc "bag".
of course, this would be different compared to getting a seed from a dime bag of schwag. but yea, post some pics up and show what kind of bagseed you got!

i have had some crap hermi's come from bag seed and have seed out of mexican dirt weed that grew into some potent sweet sticky goodness, the guy is getting started let him cut his teeth on bag seed, learn some growing techniques before taking that next step

your plants can have tons of resin and look great but you cant grow a 5% strain into a 15-20 % strain period
all plants will have resin though
all plants will have resin though

buy from a breeder that has had the strain tested
forgot to add that bit in there. truly though, i don't believe the breeders, not saying that they're liars but (hell if it weren't for the breeding aspect i wouldnt even be growing right now), remember: its' a business. plus isnt it a fact that THC itself doesnt determine the outcome(high) but the total combination of all the turpenes produced from the plant?
anyone know how THC content is measured? well i know a little bit of how but the actual procedure of testing is what im asking.

"There's no question that marijuana, today, is more potent than the marijuana in the 1960s. However, if you were to look at the average marijuana potency which is about 3.5 percent, it's been relatively stable for the last 20 years. Having said that, it's very important that what we have now is a wider range of potencies available than we had in the 1970s, in particular," Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse Alan Leshner said in 1999 while testifying in front of the U.S. House Subcommittee on Crime.
Those who support the legalization of marijuana say that the data is skewed because testing was only performed on marijuana of specific geographic origins in the 1960s and 1970s, and therefore isn't representative of marijuana potency overall. Officials obtained the samples from a type of Mexican marijuana that is known to contain low levels of THC -- 0.4 to 1 percent. When these levels are compared to other types of marijuana, it looks as if potency levels have risen in the last 30 years.
Typical THC levels, which determines marijuana potency, range from 0.3 to 4 percent. However, some specially grown plants can contain THC levels as high as 15 percent. Several factors are involved in determining the potency of a marijuana plant, including:
To determine the average potency levels of marijuana, researchers need to examine a cross section of cannabis plants, which wasn't done in the 1960s and 1970s. This makes it difficult to make accurate comparisons between the THC levels of that time period and the THC levels of today.

not every schwag is from a high producing variety , there is the exception , i have run into both
yay for more good info in this thread.
just started drying another of the outdoor plants. kinda disappointing but all i can say is that i only had 5weeks of influence on these.
the blue cheese in the mini scrog is starting to pop out the top of the screen. fun.
(highly doubt i'll post pictures. have taken them though. still not comfortable again yet. grrrr.)
