How to Choose Bag Seed

[Euphrates]

Euphrates: I'd say your Northern Lights seeds are definite contenders. They meet pretty much all requirements I go by for selecting good bag seed. Grow 'em out.

I'd toss that single seed you found in the 1/8. That one, to me, sounds like the herm, not the 15 you found in the quattro. And plus, you said it wasn't that potent, so you're probably not going to get anything much better than what you smoked, if you were to grow it out.

Regarding Seed Bou, you need to wait at least a month before you give them up for lost. Eight days is nothing. My average is about two weeks from confirmation to delivery. Sometimes a week, sometimes a month.

Either way, I would hold onto and grow those northern lights seeds. They sound like definite contenders.

Thank you, very much, that made me feel a lot better.

No. But if you're getting ALL females, then they were most likely the result of a herm/self-cross.

you never know, he could of took out some seeds or maybe they had some male in the room he didnt catch yet inn time and only 1 pollen sack opened before they seen it, you never knoww, i just say grow all seeds out and be prepared to kill alot of hermies , dont fuck around trying to pull pollen sacs off,, is just not worth the risk of perpetuating the hermie gene, if you dont got room indoors then wait till spring and put them in the dirt

if youre looking for good genetics in commercial bagseed, look between november and january. This is when the freshest and better stuff is around, because it will have just been harvested. If you are lucky you may run into very high grade bricked stuff. Not all of it is good genetically. You have to take into account look vs actual quality. Use the look to sort through for interesting specimens and then test them all individually, then keep the seeds from the most desirable buds. Going through a 1/2 to whole lb will raise your chances of finding a few buds with great genetics. Remember to write down the traits of the parent, and the date, in order to maintain some idea of what you've got.

I look through the local imports quite often for something interesting . IMO November is too early to start looking at imports . There are a lot of fresh imports around in Nov/Dec . But nothing of any real quaility that I have found . I will point out that I'm not looking for indica hybrids either . I Look for the fresh imports that arrive about early-mid January through late February . With imports , look is far more important than smell or flavor as those aspects have usually been degraded . Just a few Things I look at when determining if the import is worth my time : Long & skinny buds , pointed bud tips , gold coloration (evidence of sun drying) , an up buzz that is hard to impossible to sleep on .
