@33 degrees. I'm very impressed with your plants. Most people laugh at bagseed but I find it more interesting than the vast majority of what I see other people growing. I'm very glad you posted them. When I think of bagseed I think of our compressed stuff. Not bagseed of gdp or whatever. Those seeds like you grow are old long standing genetics not available anywhere else. So if you like the stuff you have make sure to keep it and breed with it, because the chances of ever finding stuff like it again is slim to none, and it gets replaced with dutch stuff more and more every year.
At any rate I'm with you 100% on your observation of seeds from bigger buds but I don't take it the way you mean.
You speak the wisdom of an old southern grower who knows a thing or two about brick. The main thing to assure you get good buds out of bagseed (aside from selection) is to pick your seeds out of large resinous buds. Not the seeds from the shake at the end of the bag, never pick all seeds out and drop them back in the same bag. You pick seeds directly out of large resinous buds and set them aside. That is the secret to turning Bobby Brown into sexy mexi.
But IMHO this doesn't have anything to do with the location of the bud on the plant, or amount of growth hormone contained in the top cola. It's simply about fields of weed. You can't see what the plant you are smoking looks like and it is a huge mistake to assume there is only one, or two, or even three plants in a single ounce much less a QP. A field of weed of literally thousands of different phenos with varying grades of quality are all eventually chopped, trimmed, mixed, and bricked together.
Without picking seeds from large resinous colas, you have NO guarantee that the loose seeds in your bag are anything worth your time. Most of them come from average plants in the field, and some of them are from runts. When you choose the large resinous colas you have a guarantee they are from the best mothers you had access to in what you bought.
You have no control on the fathers of any bagseed, but by choosing the buds the seeds come from you at least know something about the quality the mother produced. Picking seeds out of the shake of your bag or random crappy "popcorn" buds will leave in a truly blind crap shoot. And probably make you another guy who laughs at the quality of bagseed.
Regardless of why. Choosing seeds directly from the larger resinous buds of the bag does in fact increase your yield and quality. That is a tip every old school southern grower I've ever respected abides by. Try both and you'll do it too.
