Are feminized seeds like seed versions of live clones or what? Or is there some small genetic drift. I read someone say a feminized seed will be like 90% of the mother. Whats your knowledge on this icmag dudes.

No

Feminized just gives you girl plants pheno/genotypes vary according to a lot of factors

If you want copy of plants get a mother plant and take cuts

You could pop a small fortune of certain breeders seeds and never find two exact same plants all beans will vary slightly lol

That's why people keep mums!! Tbh tho people usually pop a few packs and test a few beans completely before deciding on a keeper

Whatever you do it'll all be a learning curve so don't beat yaself up too much if you make a mistake or 30

Okay thanks. Interesting bigganjabud! I guess a mother room is a must.

Hell no! I wouldn't grow fem. seeds even if they were a gift or free... I think that's the nightmare of any good grower!

Be careful throwing around made up statistics.

This depends on how the seed was feminized and what it's original genetics were. A S1 IBL will have more uniform offspring than some poly-hybrid F1 when feminized.
