Is that what I think it is ?!

Males happen regardless of source ... autos can throw males if line hasn’t fully been fleshed out.

Most breeders sling S1 over F1 as to keep seed chucking going. Any males i get i now keep to sling “ my own pollen “ . Bag seeds ( whether dispensary or swag ) sometimes are winners but it has to correlate to why and how it seeded. Some strains throw nanners late in the game for survival and those are keepers. But there are seed banks that of push bunk .
Not gonna argue with anything you mentioned, but I learned my lesson from growing bag seeds. True females aren’t suppose to produce seeds, and if they do, I chalk that up to bad genetics, and I’d rather not grow from bad genes. Never had a bag seed not hermie on me, and my grow environment is top notch, so it has nothing to do with the grow process. But hey, if people wanna take a chance and hope for a good plant, good luck and the best of wishes to you.

Um, only true females should produce seeds. If you had a male with seeds now that would be weird!

That’s exactly what u think it is. Fem seeds? Bag seed?:weed: I got so excited it came from GG . Thought it was fate:hump: bought a grow tent . I even had clones ( I totally believed it was a girl ). I’m an expert at my first grow it’s really funny . I ordered some sour diesel auto seeds I’m germinating now to take over the hole in my soulbongsmilie

You know a lot of strains out there are from bag seed, like all the Chem's for one thing.

So you’re telling me a true female can produce seeds without intervention or environmental issues.....ok. But like I said, not gonna argue with you.
That's not even remotely what I'm telling you. I was cracking a joke. Also, you kind of are arguing, just passive aggressively. What I was actually driving at is you have absolutely no way of knowing if bag seeds came from hermies or stray pollen. Or in the case of schwag or mids, a complete lack of caring if there were males around.

Like I said, I’m not gonna argue with you. I actually agreed with most of what you said in your post. Little difficult to judge a passive aggressive tone or expression through a message, because that’s exactly the opposite of how I wrote it. Not sure how you came to that conclusion. If it was a joke fine, and I can see how it would have been now that you mentioned it. I clearly stated MY reason for not using bag seeds based on my OWN personal experience, not from what I hear other people say. So if someone wants to risk the possibility of having a hermie in comparison to a true female because they chose to use a bag seed, that’s their prerogative, and that’s the only point I was trying to make.

Well I don’t think I’ll be spending much more time or energy on bag seed . I got way to attached named the damn boy Matilda . From now on it’s smoky 1 smoky 2 :weed: bongsmilie And fem or auto till I know what I’m doin .

Gotta say the stem of that male looked very healthy. Grab those fem or autos and rock them out

Happens man, especially with bag seed lol. I threw 7 in dirt a couple months ago and only 4 made the cut as ladies. I was told to expect about a 50% male rate in non-feminized seeds, and that number seems about right. I just went ahead and ponied up the money for some autoflower female seeds though so that way the money invested into everything else isnt wasted. Lets face it soil, lights, electricity, etc adds up so invest in a sure thing.
Yea that’s what I did . Now I’m like a little kid waiting on my seeds to sprout :blsmoke:

That was one of the things that made me nervous about ordering seeds . I did a little research and read reviews. The seeds popped open that’s a good sign lol

Ive seen it happen and given it was one plant out of 5 grown in the exact same conditions I chalked it up to bad genetics. It did a weird thing where it made little banana looking things on the buds and I was like "ok wtf is that" a couple days later bam open sack and thanks to there being 3 fans total we just kinda assumed all the others got hit. Luckily it was not my grow/investment so I didnt lose out, and the dude acted like the loss was no biggie so eh, it was a good learning experience for me though. So the short on that, yeah the shit can happen with everything on our end being perfect, just bad genes and no way to tell that shit till it happens.

For the record, while technically "hermie"... a female left past bloom will in fact pollinate herself and the seeds will be feminised and have a few hermies here and there. Next time you harvest, test my word out. You'll see. It's not good practice because of the hermaphrodite aspect. But by all means, females do produce seeds without intervention or environmental "issues". Self pollination is due to stress, sure. But in nature it's far from an issue. It's normal.

Yeah exactly bagseed should be female every time unless it's some shitty outdoor that got pollinated by a different plant but then there would likely be a ton of seeds. The bag seed here and there just means the grower actually finished the plant.
Yes and no on your first statement...dont know about the second tbh. Reason I say yes and no on the first is because the bagseed I threw down came from some really f'ing good green, which is why I planted it in the first place and decided to start a small indoor garden. I got at least 2 years worth of seed from a couple of purchases...maybe like 8 grams total. So in my vast smoking experience I have found that you are generally right, more seeds less buzz, but with this green it was more seed same great buzz...half (almost exactly which is weird) were male. So ton of bagseed...yes, shitty weed....no, outdoors...most likely.

Yes, it's because the more pollen it receives, the less it needs to produce the good stuff. Trichomes/resin are part of the sexual reproduction system in cannabis. The later in life(grow season) it gets, the more she craves to be pollinated, and the sweeter and stickier she "dresses herself up". Then, once she's knocked up, she will pretty much come to a halt. Especially if there was a lot of pollen. It's just like a human. Once she found somebody to knock her up, she doesn't try too hard any more lol The more seeds, the less room for thc production because her body has switched to producing seeds. I'm not too deep into the botany yet, but I'd bet they require the same hormones or something. In your situation, I'd be willing to bet on a later pollination. I've had KILLER dispensary bagseed.
