bagseed

I've been reading lots for a whole month but was wondering something.

I bought some pot and noticed a few seeds in the bag.
I thought females didn't produce seeds.
When I grow, will my females have a few seeds in buds I can plant just like the ones I found?
I won't have room for mothering...just growing.
This is just for personal use.

Thx

The seeds you find within a purchased bag are more than likely from a hermi plant. So their offspring will have hermaphroditic tendancies.

I would say that if you are planning on only growing from seed then it is best to create a decent amount of seeds from a planned seed run.

A more advanced member should be able to give you a more precise answer but.....

It depends. If the cross that the seed came from had a large tendancy to go hermi then yes more than likely your seeds will also hermi. But there is certainly a chance that you will be able to grow them out without them going hermi on you.

It is possible that the plant the seeds came from does not normally hermi on the grower but due to extreme scenarios perhaps it did. There for the seed you grow out, if grown in proper conditions could easily grow out without showing any hermi signs.

Personally I would not grow them out. What if you get to the late flowering stage and they start shooting out pollen trying to impregnate everything in site?

I would just suggest purchasing some genetics. There are some really great crosses out there being offered at very reasonable prices.

Hope this helps.

IceCold, you need to relax/

I can personally vouch for the fact that seeds from hermi plants = hermi plants. Many breeders on this site will tell you that it's best to grow from regularly pollinated seed.

That being said, your females may not produce male flowers, but if they do, you can expect those resulting seeds to do the same. Best bet is to either purchase genetics, or go ahead with some bagseed schwag that has more seeds. The only reason I say "more seeds" is because if a plant is pollinated by a male plant naturally..it will produce more than just a few seeds. The chance of your bud being pollinated by a female with a couple male flowers sounds pretty good.

I personally agree with Ice cold. most weed you smoke isn't indoor its outdoor and males can get by you or open up when your not there much easier than you think.


There is a greater possibility than if you bought them that they will be hermi, but to say they are more than likely hermi just straight out of the bag is a guess.


you'll never know what they are till you grow them, but I've been growing various different types of bagseed my whole life and I'd have stopped if I got hermi's even 20% of the time.

I wouldn't worry to much.. my bagseed hermi'd at the very end.. found 1 seed from well over an elbow of harvest.. and it smokes great.. I love the gentics.. it hermie'd but didn't hurt it.. finishes right as it has a few hermies.

Grow it dude.


nothing butgreat weed from bagseeds.

botom line there is no way of telling if the pollen is from a true blue nuthangin male or a few nanners that poped late in flower. If you were banking on your crop for income or were a RAGING pot head i would say fuck it and go with some "genetics" but it sounds like your just wanting to have some fun and grow some smoke. so do it.


Best,

OL

Ice cold just mellow it out is all he was saying. I get into alot of fights here too and its usually more about tone than topic.


thats all he was saying, you can make your point, but you might wanna articulate it in a less... I guess what you'd call a provacative manner. but I agree with you.



Lord doobi as I'm sure you've figured out they are probably just fine, but in the event they are hermi or screwed up mutant plants you can probably attribute it to bagseed and unplanned crossings.

Wow Motaco, I think you understand just about everything everyone's saying. That IS all I was saying. That Spade guy has been around here a while and ofers good information to alot of people. It's not great to just start challenging people right away on this site. As far as the other info...I'm sure Doobie has enough info to go ahead and grow those things out. May get a herm, but it's a risk we all take..bagseed tends to highten that risk a bit(in my opinion only). Either way...that's all i was saying. It's all love here..no need for anything else.

ICE - Good posts. I made that statement based on thinking the herb was grown indoor. It has been a long time since I personally have smoked outdoor herb and my train of thought was a bit narrowed.

I agree that if it was outdoor the of course it could just be the result of open pollenation.

On a side note, I have grown out bagseed myself that has certainly gone hermi in a room full of other strains that didn't. All four ladies ended up going hermi on me. The bag they came from was grown indoor though, so there ya go.

Lord Doobie, I personally still would just purchase some genetics that are of a known origin and quality.
