Sexing services?

Currently growing in a very small space (2x2) with nowhere else to start new plants. Going to be leaning towards regs for a while and was wondering who the best sexing service would be to use. In terms of cost and speed of turn around who are some of the better companies? Thanks.

Edit: going to be popping 6 or 8 plants but in a 2x2 it gets crowded real fast. Would like to cull any males within a couple of 3 weeks.
 
I just heard them talking about Rimrock Analytical on an old Growcast episode the other day. Their website looks like it's $13 per test. They have a bulk discount for 10 or more it seems.

I have never used them nor am I endorsing them. Just heard them talking about on the podcast.
 
I hear ya. Just figured I'd do a few runs of regs and see what I come up with. Just a change of pace really.
Those that grow regulars swear by them. I'd love to try them out myself. I have some idea how feminized seeds are made and it doesn't seem natural. With regulars you are using pure unadulterated seeds. Just that sexing them takes some of time, a 6 month grow could turn into a 9 month grow is my despair. Those in the know have it down packed to be turning around a harvest every month once things are set up right.
 
This thread title reminds me of my dating days in my late 40's..... I mean, I'd do it, but all of them had a part time or no time job, 3-5 kids, and a flat tire away from bankruptcy. Thank you Zoosk for delivering a single woman with a corporate career, a retirement plan, and no kids. The internet works folks.
 
I should have said a little about how it works, you pre pay for however many test kits you want, he sends them to you , you mail your leaf sample to him and it only takes a couple of days For him to email you the results. Easy peasy. Best thing is you can test a couple weeks in from germination.

Figured it out when I checked the site. I'll be using them soon. I was gonna plant 4 or 5 regular seeds and sex the cuttings off of them by just flipping and finding out that way. it could be 2-4 months for that to happen.
 
Well shit, I learned something new here...and I have 10 regular Blueberry Hashplants I am getting close to sexing. This sure is less stress on the plants.

Just checked....$120 for 10 plants. That's actually pretty reasonable. I guess if I was in a hurry I'd do it, but I don't need these anytime soon. I will bookmark Farmer Freeman though.

A home test would be nice!!

months later, not even sure how I stumbled into this thread. I’ve used rimrock with no complaint. There’s discount codes available for bulk and growcast has a discount there as well. I paid $10 a test after discounts. Shipping both ways is included in that price for a single shipment. Here’s how their results look. Imagine most places look similar. It did take 6 days to get results once the package was delivered to them. But it landed on a Friday afternoon so it’s semi understandable.
