in a breeder point of view , Can we be sure it's not gonna give hermies in the future ? especially for those growing outdoors with constant stresses from mother nature ( strong rains , powerfull heat , temps variations etc ... )

ace malawi stable as fuk , thats the important thing when choosing a parent. i,ve stated before i,m no breeder .

different story , i once crossed a chihuahua and doberman , sorry wrong story ..... i crossed a raskal white materskush ( fem ) with a fire og , i,ve grown hundreds of the offspring over the years and they have sat out is dismal conditions and produced nothing but chronic . i actually find them more reliable than a regular breeding and a lot less variation . comes down to to stability and quality genetics .

some people even say that fem plants are less potent when grown , talks cheap i say.

one thing i,ll say though , fem seed was once total garbage hermie shit, when they were first starting to play with them (not ace ) . turning plants under stress to create fem pollen is what i believe to be the cause , if it stresses and hermi,s and you make seed well , why do you think will show in the offspring ?
that was then this is now ,

I literally laughed at the doberman line :).

How do "they" make fem seeds now, if it's not CS to stress them?

Thanks everybody for your answers and for taking the time to bring me up to date. It's always a pleasure to exchange with knowledgeable gentlemen :)

Dubi's # 20 post makes perfect sense: all seems to depend on the stability of the lines you start from.

The fems I dealed with in the not so far away past were undoubtedly from unstable lines as I had very bad experiences with 100% hermies, and not the kind with just a few late bananas...

I still believe though that under tropical latitudes and in the long run, hermaphroditism naturally occurs, certainly due to stresses or stimuli we can't always understand.

In '86 we received a bunch of good seeds from Hawaii. There was 4 strains and each one was a treasure without any hermies coming out of it. At the time, we didn't know how to properly store seeds for long preservation so we kept making fresh ones every 6 months.
10 years and a few cyclones later, each pure strain and Fs from the many crosses we had done had about 10 % hermies in its progeny, even if we did make sure to always use straight males to pollinate the females... It may seems far-fetched to some but I guess plants do communicate between themselves, and given the removal of all males in the patches we didn't want pollinated, it could well have been nature's way to try insuring the survival of the species.

Concerning hermies' strenght potency, there never was a doubt in my mind as some we had at the time were the smelliest and the strongest ones in the batch. It was indeed difficult to resist the temptation to breed with it...

Thanks again gentlemen and a happy new year to everybody :)

It might just be my warped way of thinking but I think it's dishonest to call a feminized pack of seeds a breeders pack because without going hermie they can't replicate on their own. You either need to buy another regular pack of seeds to get a male or outcross it to another strain which kind of goes against the whole breeder aspect of the sales pitch.

I don't doubt for a second that the genetics are rock solid and will deliver as advertised because I trust Ace's breeding practices it's just I know if I bought a breeding pair of birds I'd be upset if they were both girls is all.

i think they call them a breeders pack due to the fact there is 4 different packs

old killer
new killer

purple

just my thoughts of it. yes i bought them when they first came out
