Plant limits are usually based on flowering plants with a more generous amount to veg. I see no cons as a reg seed popper. It really doesn’t take up that much more room. Tip, after I get 2 nodes I put my seedlings in for 24 hour dark. They’ll show sex about 2 1/2 -3 weeks veg.

Possession
8 (1) Unless authorized under this Act, it is prohibited
...
(e) for an individual to possess more than four cannabis plants that are not budding or flowering
...

so we can rule out the usually.

If you don't grow indoor, and you end up with a few males, you're fucked until next year. So you have to pop 8 reg seeds, in which case, you're illegal.

I sure wish a couple senators were growers.

Arguably, breeding with reversed females makes removing stress-induced intersexual traits easier.
Feminizing messes with Mutha Nature, hence a stress in itself. I've only had 3 regular seeds show their balls towards the end before harvest with regular seeds growing 47 years. To each their own...I find vigor and potency more so w/ regular quality genetics.

Don't hold your breath..

The Senators (state or federal) who toke, aren't going to grow..
They have a connection somewhere and are waiting for the dispensary to open in their state...

How many of them do you think even mow their own lawn, much less, actually grow plants?....

Ah... but I'm talking about Canadian Senators. Senator Patrick Brazeau was busted for cocaine. lol

And while Rob Ford wasn't a senator, he had his connections. Now his brother is Mayor of Toronto!

I’m there with ya Brutha. I’ve never bothered with anything but regular seeds and don’t plan on changing that.

I grew “illegally” for the majority of my life so plant counts mean nothing to me. The government has no clue about the needs of patients/growers, feds still pop state legal patients, so why should I respect laws that still don’t guarantee our security? You roll the dice no matter which way you want to look at it. Be safe, be smart, keep your mouth shut, and do what you wanna do guys.

I think of fems like autoflowers, they have their advantages in a few situations but other than that regular photoperiods reign supreme and will always be here to stay.

I've never grown regs. Always fancied trying them just to see of they're better than the fem versions like people claim but if I can only grow four plants I like to know all 4 seeds will be female. That's the only reason I grow fems.
Would be a complete bummer to me if I put in 4 seeds and only 2 were females.
With fems I know I'm getting four female plants that will yield bud. Can anyone tell if the bud they are smoking came from a fem or regular seed anyway? I suspect not.

Ya, getting only 2 plants would suck lemons. But I've been breaking the law for 45 years, so why stop now.

I grow fems to sell and keep me busy. But my personal stash comes from regular seeds I've scooped in my travels.

First of all, any great strain that relied on a great father will not translate in a feminised line.

Nevilles Haze is made by crossing A5 with Haze male C. You can't make fem Nevilles Haze - reversing doesn't work the other way. If you buy what GHS sell as Nevilles Haze feminised and if you will see it isn't in the same universe as GHS Nevilles Haze regular from 2006 and before.

Other than that, they are more homogenous. You don't find exceptional, one off mutants, sports or grails. All the elite clone only are from regular seeds you will find.
