Feminized seeds......

For the first time this year I am growing feminized seeds outdoors. Also running a few Bodhi strains.

I noticed on a few of the feminized plants a small amount of the lower, earlier growth leaves had a few spots of powdery mildew. (Was able to cut these off and spayed the garden down with a properly diluted fungicide, problem solved)

The Bodhi strains did not have any spots of mildew whatsoever. (The stuff Bodhi puts out is unreal, grow like monsters)

This raised the question; in general are feminized strains weaker than normal strains? More likely to show mutations, disease?

Disease? No. More chance of hermies as opposed to regular seeds? Yes.

I get the feeling anything altered by man... sorta has a chance for failure..

Seems to me they are more sensitive at times...probably the reason why Bodhi doesn’t have fems... I could be wrong...
Bodhi is in my garden and right now far superior genetically wise than anything....and not to mention... his plants are beautiful...

I don’t think in all the years I grew mostly outdoors with regular seeds obviously that I ever actually saw a hermie. We knew it could happen. Then I bought some feminized Chemdawg supposedly. 10 out of 10 hermied. The only other hermie I had was an LA Confidential. Or some of them. I had 3 and 2 hermied. Another grower told me he stopped growing LAC because he couldn’t stop it from turning hermie.
