Good rep seeds should only have a max of 2-3 phenos.
I forget how hybrid system works but I think F1 is stable and max 3-4 phenos and F2 up the less stable they are or the opposite,think theres a S class,I did do loads of reading on it but cant remember the way it works,but reputable breeders should have stabilised there straines by back breeding and cross breeding to 2-3 phenos or they have to state there hybrids,like some will say hybrid F2 75%indica 25% sativa with no mention of who there parents are or history as its a big secret,I say bullshit..
Stick reputable sees and ask people who have grew them out before you buy.
I dont like how some breeders are selling straines for high prices while there still being tested,im testing for a big seed company whos doing just that...
Id like to say you get what you pay for but its not the case,your better off buying cheap seeds off a reputable breeder then expensive off a not so popular.
I think some just dont give a shit as long as they get your money cuz if they dont pop theres nothing you can do about it,youl here storys like mine were people have spens 100s on duff beans that dont even sprout but then that could just be a bad batch but the breeder is normaly really good so it is a game of luck too to be honest,try buying single seeds 3 as a time rather the 10 of 1 straine that could be du and you lose your money is the best advise I can give you.
