How much Bangi seeds should I sprout?

[MostlyMe]

I can only grow 4 plants at a time, and usually I grow 4 different ones. I am making an exception for Bangi Haze: I will take 2 plants to the end (and 2 more different strains), preferably different pheno's. What is the minimum number of seeds I should sprout to be reasonably sure I will end up with at least 2 different female pheno's?

Try congo fem . Minimum is two seeds

I would pop 5, then if they are regular beans, you should get between 3 and 4 females,
then pick the best ones.

Between 2 and 5 if you're lucky.

3 is a gamble. 4 will theoretically get you where you want to be, but as Mack 10 advised you're safest with 5 in case the dice don't land in female favor.

Anecdotally, I have noted BH regular beans have a female ratio >50%, but I have to chalk that up to luck given the statistically insignificant sample size.

Assuming you acquired a 10 pack, why not pop 5? You'll likely have 1 (or 2) keepers.

I was also thinking 4 or 5, but I don't know how uniform the strain is. If fairly uniform, 4 should be enough. But I might as well do 5 just to be sure.

Out of five, I had one male.Which was just fine.
I got lots of pollen for my crosses.
They are quite uniform though.Only difference that I had was one bigger female than others.
Even the male looks short on side of her and usually males are the big ones...

@scai, was the final product also uniform? Sometimes plants look the same, but still have different flowering times and differences in effect.

They only started flowering week or two ago.
But if you rub stems, they smell same, bit woody, bit of fresh pine.And they grow uniform, leafpattern is quite uniform.
As I said, only different one is bit bigger than others, about 50 cm...
