Simple question, I searched and could not find an answer.
Is it worth the significant extra cost to buy feminized seeds?

Feminized or Regular

depends. If you want for sure females get the fems if your interested in breeding then get reg. Price really isnt much difference. One fem saves time and once she is vegged clone away every plant is female. You can use one to make your own fem seeds from there and your on your way.

Well if you browse through the tude, alot of feminized seeds are like double or triple what the reg seeds are, i would rather get the 10 reg for the price of 3 fem and pick out the best geno/phenos, and do it all my self(GOD COMPLEX)

yea i go with normal seeds bc i know the gens are good with feminized seeds im not buying bc its not right they use a hermy to get the seeds say it is more likely to get fem if you pollen with a hermy plant i dont want my plant to turn up hermy

I buy from there usually if you watch you get good deals. My last deal I got 12 starins all fem delivered for $54..Watch for the free UFO and promos most times you get 2-5 free fem seeds with a $15 order

Go female n then clone....why waste ur time n effort growing males unless u wanna breed...I'm only concerned w buds...I just flipped the lights on 3 of my prettiest plants...one was a male...I was disgusted ...I babied this thing for a month then it shows balls....I have females now and a couple female seeds...hopefully I wont waste my lights on a male ever again.

Johny you are in correct lol they do not use a hermi plant for the seeds. Most are produced via the collidial silver method which does not hermie the plant but it allows the sex to be altered to a point. You take a female plant you wait til week before flower then start misting a few flower sites these flower sites react and will begin to produce a different pollen sac..You keep doing this til you get the sacs pollen collected. Next you take that pollen and use it to pollinate a femal plant. The seeds from that plant carry only the female genetic code and are called feminized. I have never grown a fem seed that went hermie or male and thats few hundred seeds. I now make my own off one seed from a good fem seed company.

yea but the male has higher thc in the leaves then a female that would make great butter

Johny you are using the single seed pick n mix fems right? you buyaseed for like $8 or less. I do like 3 or 4 single fem seeds when they have a free UFO offer which is usually 4 fem seeds then you get the normal free seeds from attitude based on different amounts spent so usually like $35 gets you 3 more free fems then just normal shipping cost.That gives you like 10 strains all fem so your good for ever then as you always have clones and moms once grown. 1 seed will give decades of clones hundreds of plants.

but see even spraying that collidial silver on the plant you say makes pollen sacks and it has bud sounds like a hermy to me

Johny incorrect again..Not sure where your getting your info...The male has almost non traceable thc amounts in it and is no good except for breeding. the female plant produces the THC. The leaves and stems included.Someone has given you very bad information

i dont like the pick and mix bc your paying like 8 for a seed and it might not make it if you really like the strain likei do i buy more then one hate to wait on your seeds get more then the one strain you want and the strain you want doesnt make it

so ive been using all my male leafs for butter for nothing?

Again you seem pretty new and dont have a grasp on gentics and alterations. A hermies DNA strand looks different then an altered female strain the helio string is built differently.

Pretty much yeah. If you boiled enough like pounds then reduced that to a half cup you may get a very small thc factor but its less then it would be worth. You can make hash from the female trim and leaves and be fucked up but not males.

but isnt it still a female with pollen sacks it was a female you spray some stuff on it and its grows balls?

well thanks for the info guess i was wrong see you got over 7k post i believe you know what your talking about

The genetics are good never lost a new sprout from any breeders on the attitude. Pretty much if your familiar its almost mistake proof. If you havent grown much then maybe practice even use bag seed to learn germination, seedling, and veg techniques.
