trying to work out whats so bad about bag seed, is it just that u dont really know what the strain is ? as long as its weed , does it really matter that much ?
 
Depends if the buds it came from were knocked up by a male or a hermie if a male ya its good grow sex it flower it
If its from a hermie toss it might be an unstable strain and hermie out not worrth the risk in my opinion
You never know what you'll get

Its a lot harder to get your grow technique down with bagseed. Every seed is different with different needs. It just complicates things. Good luck.

You just don't know the genetics and where it came from you can grow just fine with bagseed you just have to be ready for some normal probs such as males, hermies, not knowing if it will smell, how long it will take to grow,ect.

Dude, grow a seed till you know whats up. I live 15 miles from mexico. I've seen all kinds of mexi seeds turn into great weed. How do you think people cross breads to make a new strain. They take a male and a female, then they pollinate the female from the male. This makes your plant a hermaphrodite. That hermaphrodite produces seeds.

You grow it till the seeds are ripe and harvest the seeds and make a seed bank for yourself to play with.

Forget feminized seeds for a minute. They are not gods gift to growing and have their own drawbacks but...

Seeds can be male or female. Doesn't matter what plant they came from.

Just plant the seed, grow her, feed her, give her lots of light and watch. You'll have a bitchen female with fat nugs or a male that will produce more seeds for you to gamble on if they are male or female on your next grow.

Treat it like a orange tree. Plant it and watch what happens. Don't over think it. People buy seeds from Walmart and grow killer oranges.

Maxipad is right. However, remember it all came from "bagseed" in the beginning.

I've grown bagseed and seeds I ordered from overseas. The purchased seeds were by far better quality than the unknown. Bag seeds are a shot in the dark. You might miss but it is possible to get a decent plant.

Well yes that's true. However, if you get some damn good smoke, and get the seeds out of it, do your shit right, and there's no reason you can't grow some badass bud from that. But yeah I prefer to go with the seed breeders, ftw.

from my experience bag seed i grew wasnt much better than than the bag weed it came from.

so unless the the bag weed was good, id suggest buyin beans unless its your first or second grow.

Pollinating a female makes it become hermaphrodite?
Wouldn't that mean it could pollinate other females?
I thought they were just called pollinated females, and couldn't pollinate others unless there was leftover pollen on them.

Bagseeds tend to have a higher hermaphrodite rate.

How do you think people cross breads to make a new strain. They take a male and a female, then they pollinate the female from the male. This makes your plant a hermaphrodite. That hermaphrodite produces seeds.
I don't think this is quite correct. If you pollinate a female with a male then you get F1 (1st generation after the parents) seeds. Just a plain cross between a male and female plant that will probably show a few variations when the seeds are grown. They will be a make up of both parents' genetics, with about a 75% rate of being female.

Hermaphrodites are caused during the life-cycle of the cannabis plant due to stress and/or environmental factors. These factors cause the plant produce both female and male flowers. This is NOT something you want. The seeds a hermaphrodite will produce will more than likely be hermaphrodites too.

If I am wrong could someone please fill us in.

I was hoping someone...anyone....was going to say something.

he is right to a point

the way they make fem seeds is with a hermi plant - you take the pollin from the hermi and pollinate a diff. female plant (not a clone of or the hermi it self) and those seed that are made will all be female with a small chance of hermi

The Bagseed Theory

Compressed, full of seeds, weak smell and harsh smoke... sounds like brickweed out of Mexico I'm sure it started off as some killer stuff until they bail it and compress it and smuggle it and store it in laundry detergent or whatever they do to get it around. brickweed potency is increasing they(the cartels) may have introduced new genetics to increase potency. I'm wondering when it comes to "commercial" pot, what's the most common strain?Usually you're smoking poorly-handled compressed pre-kiefed weed, usually from a high yielder like BC Big Bud or Critical Mass. It would be great smoke if it wasn't so compressed and hadn't had 90% of the trichs knocked off to make hash. with brickweed its not so much the strain that sucks but the methods of drying curing and compressing to get it over the border
aaaannnnyways. bagseed is very underated, fuck ive gotten a seed or two in some of the best weed ive ever smoked which happened to be some kush.
Bagseeds are just as good as any other seeds, only problem is you dotn know the strain so you have no idea how long its going to flower, how much its gonna stretch, what kinda nutes its gonna like, etc.

Brickweed is weed that comes from Mexico or some other place like that.contrary to popular belief, shitty weed but only because it was grown wrong. mexican brickweed can be very dank if grown right. infact, most of the popular strains of today have mexican genetics in them.
It's dehydrated and stored in kilo bricks for travel, and when the dealer hits you up he just breaks a chunk off and weighs it out. It is usually only 5-10% THC.
Usually refers to female marijuana plants that have been cultivated outdoors in commercial quantities using basic agricultural techniques. This method of production results in low THC content and the presence of numerous seeds due to pollination by any male plants that are present.
Often originates from, and uses varieties of marijuana (Indigenous Land Races, or ILRs) indigenous to, Mexico, Jamaica, Thailand or South Africa, for reasons relating to location, climate and cultural attitudes to marijuana use and production.
Popularity and use vary geographically: in countries of origin, this kind of weed, sometimes loose and unpressed, is the staple marijuana product. In the affluent markets of North America and Europe, more powerful, higher quality, locally grown sensimilla (lit. 'seedless') and hashish are favoured. In hashish producing countries (Morocco, Afganistan, Nepal, India) hashish is the staple form of marijuana.
Well-known varieties of brick weed include:

Thai Sticks - Thai, often wrapped round a stick and soaked is cannabis oil for added potency)
Acacpulco Gold - from the Acapulco region of Mexico. Very popular in the US in the 60s and 70s, subject of the cult documentary 'Acapulco Gold' (1973).
Durban Poison - South African
Swazi - from Swaziland, South Africa
Jamaican

Bagseed... Definitely worth the trouble.

you might have to grow a bunch of seeds from different bags to find a real winner, but they are there to be found I assure you.

Currently I'm ripped to shreds on this delicious fruity sour weed, came from the bottom of a bag.

Some more bagseed I've grown.
