Thought I was scribed over here. What seeds did you get 15/20 males out of? SOunds frustrating. I have been very happy with feminized seeds despite cautions!

I hear ya. My first several grows were with bagseed. I hate males, just as much as I do starting from seed. Of course when introducing a new strain to the garden it must be done in some cases. I have access to a reasonable variety of clones, but the I don't want what everyone else has! I was skeptical about ordering seeds at first but have now become quite comfortable

I've hesitated messing with the fem seeds. I'm not sure what's worse, identifying and killing males at the beginning of flowering or having to watch for hermies. If they hermie, will it happen at the beginning of flower or could it happen at any time? It's kind of a relief when I know I've taken care of all my males.

Sounds like you all haven't had an issue with the fem seeds??

The herming could happen at any time. Probably directly related to what form the stress is being applied in. Ex. temp fluctuation, light in dark period, light cycle clusterfucks.

I have had plants that showed "bananas" right at the end of flowering, and others you can see the male parts where there should be flowers(even though most/ the rest of the plant is full of female parts)

All in all I am happy with all the Fem seeds I have used. Doesn't look like fun to have the issue some people have with them though!

Yeah I haven't had a single issue with my feminized seeds either, as of yet. I'd rather be watching for a potential hermie (which I would do anyway, even with regular seeds), than watching for males taking up my time, space, and resources.

I completely agree Doe. Scanning the plant endlessly...... Cloning for sex.... da da da da da. For breeding purposes you always want to start with regular seeds, correct? Happy 2010 all!

I would love to do a breeding project down the road if the time/ space/ etc all came down. Anything fun last night?

Well we had a few beers, and rented "9" by Tim Burton. Pretty good movie, kind of depressing though. You?

I'm thinking they still have about three weeks left still. Moby Dick, on the other hand, is getting chopped this weekend - probably Sunday. I've got some more pics to put up, in a little while.
