How do you guys suggest I go about doing this, Growing these trying to get females? I don’t have a ton of space and have never grown out of solo cups or transferred before. I’ve always just bought feminized seeds.

I’m not sure how to do that... I’ve always tried to keep it easy. Married w 4 boys (all under 9) and work full time to boot... so most my free time (which is very little) goes to my hobby (growing). I’m starting to get a bit serious, but everything is already pretty crammed time-wise. Lol

Few less kids but yup haha if you wait till it's large enough to clone and time to root the clones and then flip to flower and wait for them to show they'll already have been old enough to tell haha

Greenpoint website has fem seeds. Very few but they have them. Just get a small bottle of cs and make your own fem seeds. If you don't want to spray them just leave a few buds when you chop and let those buds go for a while. A lot of strains will throw nanners if left to over ripen.
I've noticed with some overseas orders that the seeds have lower germ rates. I wonder if customs uses some type of waves to treat suspect packages.
They may not. It may be old stock or anything. Start making your own crosses and you won't go back.

Hmm...so I’d just have to make sure I had 2 female plants to begin w, right? One to spray and one to pollinate? Then I could cross bread and make my own strains? I honestly haven’t heard of this... again I’ve only researched enough to grow good weed... I’m just now starting to learn different techniques and crafts. Pretty simple to do?
I used to use attitude but stopped after 2 consecutive orders were found and tossed, thankfully no legal repercussions came from that, i now use herbiesheadshop, they dont accept cards, only cash or UK checks, but ive had no issues mailing cash and getting my orders within a couple weeks each time, i wax seal my envelopes for added insurance

As a newbie to the seed ordering realm, I chose the DC Seed Exchange. The breeder selection may not be up to the same level as most of the banks available, but I wasn't concerned....They offer what I wanted, and I'm not very caught up in the "flavor of the month" hype...
Paypal transaction through a third party, package came 3 days later.....
There was an extra level of satisfaction achieved as well, by having a seed order brought to my mailbox by the USPS, directly from our Nations Capitol....

Colloidal silver. Start one fem in flower a couple weeks before the others. That's the one that will be sprayed. Start spraying at first sign of flower daily until you see nanners.
Collect the pollen or shake over the other fems.
Look up colloidal silver generators. All you need is a cell phone charger, piece of silver wire, water and a jar. Its easy to make. Has to be pure silver. I got mine off amazon. A few bucks for a few feet of jewellers silver wire.

Ahh good point I guess I didn't think about that just a throw away tester. Good callIm not sure cuase uve never tried it before
But cant you just throw some cuts in cups of water and put them in the dark ?
I didnt think they needed to be rooted to show sex
Worth a shot just snip off a lower scraggley branch

Or if you're feeling particularly toxic and mad sciency you can go with silver thiosulfate. It's effective too. Haven't heard anyone mention this but DO NOT smoke any plant that you've treated with cs or sts. They are very toxic to you. Spray in an isolated location away from other plants and avoid letting foliar sprays drip on to other plants. If I were doing it I'd spray a rooted clone and send it to flower alone to collect pollen. Then I'd just pollen chuck a few lower branches after I flip the room

I have grown the Buddha Tahoe OG and LA Affie. Both were totally fine, no hermies or abnormalities in the growth. As a disclaimer tho, I haven't purchased seeds online since earlyish 2016. I've been clone trading for a while, now that I've made some connections. Unsure as to where Cali Connection stands currently as far as reputation.What cali connection strains have you done?

Another thing to keep in mind is that people are more likely to post a review when it's negative (as they want to get that anger off their chest) as opposed to when everything grows as advertised.
