Thankyou brother, that looks incredible ? I'm sold! I didn't realise he was on here so that makes it easy, I'm going to have to join the crew as that looks delicious
There's pics of some in mine and @Meatman journals as well. I found a couple very nice phenos in a pack, frosty as frosty with gas and lime terps to boot.
Awesome mate I've got lots to catch up on I always enjoy a good grow diary, sounds like fantastic genetics ?

I like regs, but having some fem beans around is so clutch when time is an issue.

To answer, I used to love my Dinafem beans, but now I’m not sure I have a preference. Take Bob Bitchen… only fem he has is that Chernobyl, but boy is it a winner. I’ll try anyone’s gear really.

Hermie percentage? Not sure exactly. But no more than with regs for me personally.
Just finished some Meltdown Fem's

I've been thinking about my comment and I realized I needed to clear up my response.

I said I haven't noticed a lot more hermies in fems and the more I think about that could be a lie ?.

The only full blown hermies I recall were actually fems, namely Dutch passion's blueberry fems, sour kosher by dna are the 2 worst offenders. But the sour kosher was bomb and the bananas were sterile.

I have noticed plenty of polyhybrid regs throw early sacks or the occasional late flower nanners but seems to be fine after the initial plucking of male bits.

Hell even had balls on 2 of the goji og I ran a while back. I think one actually threw sacks in late flower too.

I just treat both fem and regs the same and keep a close eye on seed runs.

Edit: tldr watch fems a little closer I reckon.

I see that a large % of seeds purchased by members are feminized seeds. Please share ur experience here.
* what breeders do you like for fems?
* % hermies, I'm very interested in this bc you hear a lot of different things
I would say that atleast 80% of the beans I've ran in the past 10 years were feminized. Why? Just easier for my method of growing when I first started and with big outdoor guerilla grows it was a little less worrisome to not miss a male to me anyways.
Now I like running them because of time, space and of not dealing with 4 males in a row lol. My percentage on herms have been the same as with regs. I've only had a few in my whole growing life, few outdoor, a few indoor.
I stick to cheaper trusted breeders for the most part.
3thirteen seeds, @HydroRed never had an issue with and great smoke.
CSI, lots of choices and good ?
Esosseeds, @thenotsoesoteric great strains as well as the smoke.
Royal Queen Seeds, might have to look harder for a keeper but still stable genetics.
Cannarado, same as the rest of the cookie strains but stable for the most part.
Female Seeds, first fem I ever popped, white widow. She turned out great, solid white frost with a very heavy stone.
Green House Seeds, I've grown a few of theirs as well. Mostly average smoke but every once in a while you would find something good in their older stuff.

First real seeds i ever bought were skunk #1 feminized seeds from Dutch passion. They turned out bomb so I never thought twice about running fems.

There is always a chance for bad grows so fuck it and run it. Fem, regs, autos or whatever, just run 'em! Deal with the what ifs when they come.

I've stayed fairly reserved in my actual seed purchases, and have had nothing but great success with the FEM only "lines" I've collected. Using the shared experiences of others to my great advantage, I've managed to build a pretty stout keeper lineup, that has now lead to some really incredible reversals to create some very desirable fem crosses of these specimens.
Couldn't have done it without the greatness featured right here in these very forums.
