Hey there Image Reaper,

Fem seeds have there place in this world. If you want to start a lot of plants from seed, and don't want to grow out plants to sex them....well it is the only way to go. It is how they have been producing large plots of mj outdoors in many countries for a long, long time. They don't plant acres of seeds and then go thru months later killing males, it's just would not be economical.

I just germinated about 70 feminized beans this past week, about 60 have emerged and started. I will veg them about a week or so and then they will go to the bloom room, under 12/12 and grow just like they where cuttings. No need to sex them, they are all female. The difference between them and clones is that the clones will all grow the same, ie: growth rate, size, potency etc., just like the mothers they came from. The girls grown from seed will show some variations in rate, size etc.

In the 35 or so years that I have produced female seeds, I have yet to have a male show up. I believe if you research this subject you'll find it is scientificly impossible to come up with a male.

Not looking to argue with you BTW, just going to stand by my statement: "feminized seeds produce female plants."

That is not to say, seeds being sold as "feminized" have not produced males.
That's a different problem.
