Never really figured why people wanted to buy these mix packs, because you dont know what strains you then might end up with, but yes Sensi Seeds were much better in the past eg. their Shiva Shanti I...

Yes different ways to go about it, I have always personally been fond of knowing what I grow and smoke, variety a must. Of course when getting weed from others that dont grow it themselves, many a times you dont know, perhaps a bit like a box of chocolates with Forrest Gump

I've been gifted a couple of grab bags of seeds. One is all sorts of Sour Wreck crosses. Sour D, Sour Wreck, Sour Moon Wreck, Sour Blue Moonshine, Sour Wreck BX, several others, as well as possible Ghost Train Haze s1 seeds.
The other is Random Bud X TPD. My buddy hit everything in his greenhouse with a cut of the TPD male Doc used in his Glued Cherry Dojo cross. {some of the seeds will be GCD since my buddy had a cut of the mother too}
I was gifted a bunch of partial packs at the same time. BOG and other good gear. The grab bag plants have been just as good as the name brand stuff. Although I did make some BOG Life Star f2's I want to try.

Ethos Inzane in the Membrane only strain ever to herm on me. A reason I was always partial to old school growers as they didn't use monoecious plants for breeding stock like it seems like a lot of the new breeders today do.

I can assure you that if you're buying seeds from a breeder that is breeding with herms, you're buying from the wrong breeder. Ethos doesn't roll like that, he's actually a really talented breeder.

That's good to know maybe there is some lineage there that tends to herm. I have two other packs of seeds from ethos so I guess I'll take a chance on them then.

Ya man grow them out. I watch all my seed plants pretty close for balls. Something that will throw balls in my environment, won't in yours and vice versa. It's just the nature of this plant. All seed lines have a certain percentage of herms, it's the breeders job to not release seeds with too high of a percentage. I've heard of guys releasing lines with 30% herm rate recently. That's not an honest person doing that, they just want your money. 1 in 3 seeds will herm is unacceptable. It should be more like 10-15% tops..... Also a lot of times if a plant tosses a couple balls, you can pluck them off and it's good to go. I don't consider that a herm. That's just the stress of a new environment if they don't come back.

Riot seeds and Soma Seeds have really poor germination %, you pay through the nose and lose 1/2 and Riot only gives 6 seeds which makes it extremely bad.
Soma has some really good strains though once germinated.
I had a really poor experience with GreenHouse strains, their seeds are the only seeds I've ever had hemie.

Sometimes you are surprised. Names or etcetra you wouldn’t focus on. I got some Nacho seeds in a mix from a friend. Baked Beans Cannabis Seeds strain in Northern California. Blackberry Kush X Confidential Cheese. Nice plants and tasty bud. Pretty potent too. The name would have kept me looking. You never know.

I know time has passed since your post. Appreciate your kudos and thumbs up, antionioverde! We're still at it starting our 15th year in October. Have several new, reworking some older strains, hybridizing CBD Hemp strains for personal growers to make their own medicine. 2020 is here! And with the STAY@HOME self sequestering, a good time to get your room or outdoor ready!

Is their like a chance this thread is full of comments by people who think they can grow but in reality..have 0 clue what they are doing...?
Complains like, fluffy nuggets but at the same time they grow in 30-35°C for a week in crucial moments because they cannot control outside weather which influence indoors. etc
No taste etc because they burned the terps off by heat or getting to close to the plant with the lamps etc
Chopping too fast,chopping too late.
Some will also state growing organic in soil taste best vs minerals growing etc
FOod for thought

Barney's Farm - Orange Sherbert. they all grew airy buds that smoked like shit.... I still have 5 seeds of em but I've since moved on and have no room to see if the 4 I grew were just mutants or if the whole pack is junk...

Skullcap is dank, way above anything else on that dudes list. The only thing I didnt like about it is some phenos have a ton of lateral branching that needs to be cleaned up or you'll end up with lots of larf. But the terps are pungent and strong.
