Do you offer feminized versions of your autos?

[aridbud]

Hi Hash-
We prefer having regular seeds for our auto strains. Gives many an option to make their own hybrids, but more importantly, keeping the seeds stable vs. feminizing.

[Hash2k]

That makes complete sense!...im only going to get seeds from seedbay server section...just feels better supporting the site...im happy the wealth of information alot of you provide is basically public....my buddy has been on the auto hype...

Do you only grow autos in your personal garden?

[aridbud]

We do primarily autos (3 partners, 3 states), yet we all enjoy growing several photoperiod strains.

Our clientele, not from Seedbay or Great Lakes Genetics, likes our selections for enjoyment and medicine.

Any questions you have, fire away...we'll do our best to inform you or your friend. PM us or you can find our email in our personal page.

Here's Kyle Kushman's explanation....saw him several years ago at 420 in Denver as guest speaker of the Cup.

"As far as feminized seeds, they are generally weaker, hermaphroditic and they are not 100% feminized. Never get fem seeds. If you want female seeds read my post on how and what create them.

I promise you if you take 10 feminized seeds and sprout on a heat mat there will be at least one male typically and or 40%+ hermie. If a heating mat is not used you will still end up with males and herms just maybe not as much, but you can almost always bet on some male bananas popping out.

As far as a strong line in fem seeds it is possible with a s3 or s4 and the female has to be a natural female and stressed to produce female flowers or ripen late to produce pollen. Sex of plants are determined first three weeks of life not from pollen used. pollen can help with female fertility but not proven.

>>>>>> Yield will generally be smaller with feminized sees along with vigor. There are the diamond in the ruffs that are great but its far a few between.<<<<<<<
[Exactly why we choose to keep regular autoflower genetics unaltered]

Regular seeds all the way no questions asked. The market is so flooded with crap, just go with the popular strains from 15-20 years ago. There are only handful of breeders in Cali that sell good stuff. Canada has some of the best strains. Colorado you can pass on unless its a private breeder. The Europe stuff is usually a pleaser since that's where the classics come from usually."

I agree regs are better though use fems because I sometimes want a offering that fem only. I dint find fems that bad I've grown lots of them.

Real femalestate are better in most departments but sometimes a stellar cut pops up out of fems stock and is totally normal. I've had a few. Though they loose vigor faster than real girls for sure and are never quite the same.

I prefer regs and so I am more interested in your fems I don't know anyone still did regular autos I'm interested.

Thanks for that kudos for us Canadians.

I really dig the cali stuff right now

@ OD- Our experience, stack em side by side...photoperiod or autos....the regular have more oomph. And why is it that folks are too lazy to cull males? They are great for breeding stock.


Glad to hear [I prefer regs ]....and best o' luck with Fast Buds.

I'm sorry I should have read more before I asked. I want to try your autos and have no desire to breed. I plan on planting in prepared hole in the jungle and hoping for the best. If they copulate the worse that happens is I have freebie seeds right?
Some of the finest smoke I have had was inundated with seeds.

Thank you sir!!! You have just taught me a valuable lesson. I have heard this from uninformed sources but now you laid it all out for me. For that I am going to order from you.

Good points.
Again, our customer base prefers regular seeds for numerous reasons. I know several/numerous customers have feminized our strains or crosses made. We just want to offer our best genetic hybrids in autos and cater to our new and largely repeat business, both MMJ & recreational. A lot of folks have them in with their photos indoors, filling a few extra sq. ft. that photos would not be able to nestle into.

Sure there are major players like Mdzing, Mephisto, Sweet Seeds, DinaFem to name a few. We are the go-to for many that do not want to buy from seed banks, or belong to forums.

Either way, Grow um!!!
