Thanks for that, I was looking at some of there seeds. I have had a bunch of people message me privately saying how wack feminized seeds are and that the only way to go is reg seed. I really don't understand this information because the market is SO saturated with feminized seeds. Some of the best genetic breeders that exist in this country have feminized versions of every strain, if not only feminized versions!

Are there any specific known companies or strains that are known to produce "hermies" that I should stay away from?
Thank you for the info! Everyone that is telling me not to use feminized seeds has no information or reason for what they are saying. Lol

they used to made by extra stressing which was unstable and hermies

now they are made by chemically reversing a stable female

some try reversing a male for testing breeding traits

Ok cool, so it sounds like as long as you go with a well respected/trusted breeder it doesn't really matter, if anything it sounds like feminized seeds are the way to go. If you can clone from them, mother them, flower them with no issue and always get females.. Why wouldn't you?

I have seen over 200 HSO fem green crack seeds grown out. Very healthy and I have never seen one intersex.

Yea I'm going to give it a go! Looking at Humboldt Seeds Org- Saphire OG, DNA- Kosher Kush, and Karma Genetics- Headstash. I really want some TGA beans as well so I will probably end up with some fem genetics and some reg! Thanks for all the input everybody!

Attitude seedbank has an hso promo right now. You get free HSO OG Kush if you order any other HSO seeds. I think 10 OGK for every 25 you order, unlimited. No idea if their OGK is any good though.
