it's genetic, being feminized has nothing to do with herming.

Yeah. thats what I've always felt to be true as well, thanks for the info bro. Do you exclusively buy fem seeds when possible?

I only buy reg seeds now.

Grown a few very nice fem seeds but overall had more troubles with them compared to plants from regs. Just my experience over a few grows.. could've been the strains.

I think feminized seeds have more of a chance to hermi than regular. When you make fem seeds it takes a few generations of selective breeding to get the hermi trait out is my understanding. I think regular are more stable and worth getting a few males in a pack.

Yep, agreed.

Never had a fem herm on me .... I grow soil and don't feed too often though.

Very true. You can have hermies on regular seeds too.

i make a lot a seed in my winter , you,d be surprised how many strains herm out in winter , you can grow them in summer and have a turbulent season and they never show any sign of male flowers .

you want to push any plants only the very most stable won,t herm in certain conditions .

when fems seeds were first bought to the market , they were total junk . now they are excellent . if you choose a reputable breeder .

i use fem mothers to seed from time to time , i have to be honest the offspring from those plants are a lot more uniform and reliable and have less variation . well seem to anyway.
