fem seeds

word i have heard is fem seeds are at least 60% female, personally I think Your better off getting reg seeds, and collecting the pollen before you cull your males, then you can selectively pollinate any of your girls, and better yet only polinate the lower buds, so you get a shit ton of seeds off her and SHARE THEM WITH YOUR FRIENDS!

I think it all depends on what seed bank you use, I dont think all seed banks have 100% stable fem seeds, Any sort of stress can turn some of them hermie. Im no expert tho just my opinion.

I have seen it depend more on the bank then the seed itself. I have had 100% fem seeds from Barneys greenhouse kiwi pyramid. I have had less then 40% from nirvana but they are much cheaper then the other banks.

any reputable seedbank in my experience is completly reliable and 100% female... a lot of people say theyve had hermies, but i personally have had more hermies from my regular females that come up... never had one in a fem seed yet.

agreed keifcake.

a) quality depends on the method used to make fem seeds ...collidial silver, sts, modified pollen, and a few more.

b) quality fem beans should be 99% fem... i have never heard 60% as acceptable & then saw those beans on the market.

c) i use them with zero drama

Absolutely!! IF it was 60% nobody would buy them, what would be the point in paying double the money.
Zero drama is the preffered choice,

Just to point out I said at least 60%, which is the lowest personal experience review I have come across, and considering the response from 1gamma id say my answer was a little more helpful than " any reputable seedbank...my experience" what is your experience? who are these reputable seedbanks with which you always get 100% feminized seeds from?

Ive allways bought from good breeders and Ive grown out over 40 packs of fem seeds and never had a single hermie....60% where in the hell did you get your factoid from.Fem beans are at least 99% and most are 100%,I had plenty of hermies all of which came from reguler seeds!!!!!!

Ohh ok.... Pyramid, Kannabia, Barneys farm, TH seeds, Dinafem... If you want a fem for sure, id go with those to clarify, sorry about that. I wouldnt say it was more helpful, i just thought the 60% was a little misleading, not saying it didnt happen, but that if it did it is more of an anomaly and that there are serious fem breeders out there that take pride in offering quality feminized seeds for people who dont want to go through the trouble of looking for males and culling them out... I know cause i used to want only fems myself, now, like you id rather get most beans in reg form and the fem's in the strain thats only offered in fem. I still like having fems tho.

Hopefully this post is a lot more informative to the OP, vagueness is rarely helpful, and sometimes confuses more.

Same here, saying that ive never grown GHouse seeds, which if that was the breeder that had 60%, i wouldnt be suprised from what ive heard. Seeds are seeds and when dealing with genetics anything can happen, as well seeds getting mixed up, mis labeled or anything.

right!

not the bank... buy per quality breeder.

even so, if you knew the game, you would know you can buy fem making kits in grow shops in spain. you can make fems too!

love it.

i have had great luck, however, across the board from cheaper fems (female seeds nl, bomb seeds, sweet seeds, and many more) to expensive ones.

with the popularization of feminization technique & products coupled with the way we control our grow rooms has resulted in quality fems for you & me.

i do know real breeders that have the skills to make fem pollen versus using chemicals and getting nearly 100% fems.

i've grown greenhouse more than once.

dont forget that it was the house that shanti built & they have massive sales.

people always hate success. wtf?

i hope i make it in the seed biz & you hate me too ... cause it'll mean i really did make it :-)

im not speaking to GHS biz practices , Arjan, or anything like that, just talking shit from the grow room... which is all i care about.

objective.
not subjective.

i dont know why peeps talk so much shit & prove to me zero.

smoking the jack herer right now... it's tastey & dank... and it gave me zero drama.

if you get a freebie or find it on sale, try it... very nice.

awesome, You know how it is tho, some people fuck up and blame greenhouse... Ive looked through their selection before, pretty big, but with enough bad reviews, i figure some of them had to be true,.. I dismiss a lot of what most people say because human error is involved many times, but i havent seen a lot of good reviews.. I really wanna try Jack herer, i was planning on ordering it from sannies in a month or so.

you're not gonna believe me... but my homie breeds for them.
he's popular in his own right too.
but this is biz , you see?

things most of these "grow masters" dont know. who really makes the seed you just bought?

he does the grapefriut, nlx, and one or two more.

his c99 is bros grimm... nuff said.

he doesnt do them all... so i cant speak on all their crosses.

you got banging genetics at a fair $ ... nice right :-) and all 50 of his cuts are elite.

cool man.. that shit looks good!! I can clearly see that in the emerald jack im smoking on, very similar looking in color bid structure and the hairs.

Of all the bad reviews i read, i still knew there was some good strains at GH simply for the fact they have sooooo many strains to choose from.. The hawaiin snow is one i was intersted in they had just off the top of my head. To many strains, not enough space. So i usually go for whats been raved about,(breeders, strains, etc...) or i get something that looks good to me that i cant find any info on and go with it.
