CaptainJack said:generally speaking you DO NOT want to use any (bullshit) selfed seeds for breeding.
since selfing opens up a pandoras box of variation in the resulting progeny, higher yielders, lower yielders, higher potency, different flavored, weaker potency, less resistance, LOTS OF HERMS, et al
anythings possible when recessive traits are popping up out of the woodwork.
I have seen complaints of hermis and males in S1's. However, folks are always talking about picking bannas off of late flowering F1s. Stressed grows perhaps? I got no hermis from the OG S1's. I did get a male.
Loss of potency? Are you kidding? Not from the posts I have seen. Not from what I have smoked. The OG S1s are right up there with Rez's Sour Diesel. Outstanding says it all. These strains are special. . .
Increased variation? If all you ever grow are clones, I can see where one might complain about variation. However, S1s aren't clones. I saw no more variation than I would expect in any pack of F1s.
Over time, I have seen many good posts from folks who have actually grown the S1's. Like the BlackBerry S1s, (freebies, there is a big thread in this forum about their virtues), as well as, the OG Kush, which I have grown, and Bubba. http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=15206
Mostly the grow and smoke reports I have seen about S1's are very good reports.
If I had access to elite clones I would grow them. Otherwise, thank gosh for S1's and breeders like Orgnkid and Cali Kush.
There I said His name. Now all of OrgnKid's detractors can come out and complain. Apparently Gypsy gave away OrgnKid's BlackBerry S1s because of vague reasons. All I can say about that, is, the BlackBerry S1 growers seem to be very pleased.
