well, this is MY experience with fem seeds. Currently have some fem seeds going alongside some regular beans. The fem beans seem to lack the vigor that the regular beans have. My regular plants seem to grow much faster and healthier.

Surely you can tell more than that, ruger?
I mean, you bought two of the same strain one regular and one fem?
They are how old?
You see what I mean, what you offered up was not much help to anyone. Are we to glean from what you offered that there is a reason that the fems are lacking vigor?
From this limited experience, have you decided that they are or are not "worth it"?

i only speak the truth so here's my experiences..i always throw a femmed bean or 2 in my runs..never really had hermie problems or lack of vigor..those seem to be strained related to me..i've took clone of clone of a femmed, kept a mom for months with no ill will..as far as i'm concerned they are fine and do have value..
that being said definetly worth it, as long as they don't cost an arm and leg..come to think of it i have bought seed for 150.00-200.00 arm and leg, and got a herm and plants that were'nt half as good as some femmed beans or 30.00 -50.00 a pack reg beans..
choose wisely ,know where to look for great strains cheap and you should'nt have to many problems...

I used regular seeds for many years and started trying out femmed sees 2 years ago.
I grow perpetual and space is at a premium in my grow, I didnt want to "waste" space on males. I have taken cuttings from cuttings too many times to remember. I havent had any degradation in yield or quality.

Ive only had 1 hermie from all the femmed seeds Ive grown out from at least 7 different breeders. The only breeder I was not happy with was GHSC. So far my favorite has been the gear from Female Seeds, I run their Pure Ak and Bubblegummer and am very happy with both, especially when you consider the low prices on their gear.

I've had fems from Barneys, DNA, and Greenhouse and have not had any issues.

Royal Queen Seeds - No problem ever.. Have the Fruit Spirit and "MK-Ultra" from T.H seeds right now as mother plants, no problems making clones what so ever "Why should there be?"
Green House - No problemo
DNA - No problemo
Barney's - Not a single problem

Go for it..

Sprout it at 23C. I never had herma's in my short growlife.

Yeah go for the fem seeds man, nothing wrong with em except you are guaranteed female plants. Oh wait that's a good thing hehe....

I recently popped two packs of seeds from two different breeders and had nothing but males out of both of em. Talk about PO'ed! The only downside to female seeds that I can see is you can't breed with em but if you're not trying to make seeds there's no reason not to use them

As stated in all the other threads, yes, feminized seeds are worth it.
