Best Quality Feminized Seed?
- Thread starter jawnroot
- Start date
I'm at the end of 2 weeks in flower for Nirviana's fem bubblelicious,and AK48. I also have OG******'s fem strawberry bubba kush at two weeks flower. If you don't have seperate veg, mother, and flower rooms to grow in fem seeds are the real deal. These have been very good for me so far, I have no complaints. A one area grow room was made for fem seeds. Give them a go, I'm happy with mine.
FMS Grapefruit was a real winner with me. It is still the only feminized seed Ive ever grown and I was quite suprised with the outcome. Dont know if they still have the GF available but can attest to the great quality of FMS.

bigAl25: I typically have access to clones, but I can't always depend upon that. I've floated the idea of getting a separate mother thing going, but it's just not very practical, given my needs and situation. I've always been averse to female seeds, but I'm starting to warm up to the idea, because I really don't have the space or desire to grow out several regular seeds and sex, when I can plant one or two female seeds and get what I'm looking for.
trichosaurus: Female Seeds Grapefruit is def on my short list. Your pics look fantastic.

Hey jawnroot, let me give you a little info that will make you more comfortable with the fems.
From any strain available, I can grow out 10 femmed seeds and 10 females from standard seeds, side by side. At no point during the seedling stage, veg stage, flower, cure or during the smoking of the weed, can you or any other grower living on the planet today tell me which of the plants are from the femmed seed or which of the smoke is from femmed seed.
This simple fact delegates any anti fem sentiments as misguided.

what do you think is the best yielder avail now for fems? I see chronic fems are out but theyre 100 bucks for 6 seeds and I dont really want to drop that much without any reports of it....I have pure ak and bubbilicous from female seeds waiting in the wings but im trying to plan ahead. Definately wanna grow kings kush and lemon skunk from greenhouse the pics look great.
so im in the market for some fruity stuff and something else that makes massive colas any suggestions?

If you're after yield, Chronic is worth the money. It clones well and can produce massive colas. In my garden, it worked well LST'd. FMS WW/BB is also said to yield very well, but I have not grown it out ... yet.
The right FMS Grapefruit can do this. New stock is supposedly due to arrive in a couple of months.

Well when you play with nature odds are she will come back and bite you on your ass fact is many people have grown out fem seeds and have had hermaphrodites show and even males something a few seam to not wont to bring up and on top of this you don't know what the genetics will do generations down the track are they the people that are making fem seeds in fact pouting the remaining genetic pool of cannabis your choice to grow them out but don't make out its all rosy when it clearly is not point out the good and bad points of fem seeds try a little honest.
Let's try some honesty...
If a person stresses a true breeding dioecious female to produce male pollen, and that is used to pollinate a separate true breeding dioecious female, there will be no hermies or males for that matter. Maybe perhaps a mutation could occur, which can happen in all things, but the genetic map is not there to produce a hermie if you wanted one. All the progeny will be true bred, feminized seeds.
Same goes for using a dioecious male to pollinate a dioecious female, you end up with true bred, hermie free, progeny.
Or are we honestly going to enter hocus-pocus into the mix?

I'm sure you have been told but Fem seeds are worth the money, great option to have Bro. In my opinion, if you have a small hobby grow, fem seeds are the only way to go. I have grown Hundreds of regular seeds from Great sources, although not nearly as many as regular I have still grown my fair share of fem seeds. I can tell NO DIFFERANCE yet, I'm about 7 grows in with mothers that were ALL from fem seeds. Why take up room with half males anyway? ya know? unless of course you are a commercial breeder

^^ Daddy vs. Dalai--
I'll trust the guy who can parse and punctuate a decent sentence...
...at this point, fem seeds are all but a go for me. I'm thinking of trying some Female Seeds, DinaFem, and also an old favorite, Oasis, from Dutch Passion. Oasis was actually the first indoor, breeder seeds I grew...'bout ten years ago. This was when fems were just hitting the market.
I did get a few nanners at the start of flowering, which is what made me hesitant to dip back into fems, but lord knows how many things I was doing wrong back then (ie: it was probably my fault). Chances are I would have gotten nanners on standard seeds...
That said, even though there were a couple seeds in the finished bud, the smoke was really good. Something I still remember with nostalgia.
So if I can get all females from female seed, with maybe a few seeds per plant (up to ten tops?), I'll be down with them.
As an aside, any of you guys try the fems from Big Buddah Seeds? I have my eye on their Chiesel as a potential grow candidate.

Well, I knew Hoosier would be here, he changed how I view femmed beans. I don't recommend arguing the point with him either. Dinafem's White Widow and Blue Widow are on the way. Poppin the Blue Widow right away and putting them outside this year!
I wasn't trying to argue, just stating things as I understand them.
It all boils down to selection of the proper parents no matter if you are breeding the old fashioned way, or stress breeding for fems. The parental genetic maps determine what the progeny will hold.
Lots to be said for those who have actually done the selecting to find not only plants that have the desired traits, but to be true breeding as well. Those folks produce the best products.
Not much you can do to thwart the process either, except for the time that can be saved using tried and tested females for stressing. Otherwise the process to find a dioecious male for regular breeding can be quite a long one.
Of course there is always the lottery....lol, and a whole lot of lottery players these days
And hempy may well be correct, the bottom may fall out one day when we least expect it. (shrug)

Femaleseeds. Northern Lights, Grapefruit, (unavailable) Bubblegum.
Paradise. Ice Cream, Sensi Star... pretty much any paradise strain

A lot of ppl in London are running Chiesel, the latest yield/high/bag appeal Holy Grail winner, pretty sure some or all were from BBS. I have a friends Strawberry Chiesel cut here that is excellent, like the straight Chiesels, a plant that really has Yield and Quality.

I ran quite a ferw different fems last summer outdoors. Not a bad one in the bunch. From Greenhouse I did Fem White Rhino, Great White Shark, & White Widow. From Barneys I did Fem Sweet Tooth. Paradise I did Fem Sensi Star. From Sensi Seeds I did Fem Big Bud, and from Sweet Seeds I did Cream Caramel. Ihave been growing the regular version of Sensi Star for 5 years or so, the fems were good but not as good as the regular beans, Sensi Seeds Big Bud was the most expensive and the only one I would probably not do again and if I had to pick just one it would be Cream caramel from Sweet Seeds!

Paradise Whiteberry rocks. Nirvana Swiss Cheese and Barney's farm Red Diesel has also been very good to me. I'm glad to see people speak favorably about Female Seeds as I just cracked one of their Widowrella (white widow/C99 cross). I had horrible results from Soma's Lavender (I've seen some great grow reports on this strain tho). I just cracked a Dinafem Rocklock, so I have hopes for that one. The one company I would stay away from at least until they have their organizational problems squared away is Sagarmatha. I've had their strains autoflower when they're not sold as autoflower varieties and have had their 'autoflower' strains not autoflower. Tony's response to me was 'they are from an untested source'. Well, it seems before you sell 10 dollar seeds you'd test your source. I also had 2 male plants out of a 5 pack of his 'femed' seeds. It was very disappointing after seeing several great grow reports from his strains. Hopefully, he'll pull it out before the ship sinks.
good luck,

You always have to take into account, the Price/Quality.
Female seeds are very cheap, but for that they are really good quality.
For example, I would much rather take a Female Seeds strain 5 Fem Pack for 19,50€ than a Nirvana 5 Pack FEM for 25,00€ (Nothing against Nirvana)
Sure you get expensive seeds from Breeders, but I have to admit, my favourites for Price/Quality is surely Female Seeds and Greenhouse Seeds.
Cheers
