How-To: Make your own feminized seeds.
"Doing stuff like making femmed seeds from a femmed lady that came from femmed seeds to begin with, and you'll eventually breed-in the ability to hermie with a minimum of stress. (undesirable) "
I think this is the most commonly-overlooked thing when it comes to most breeders and I am damned glad you pointed this out, Rusty - many rely too heavily upon 'guaranteed' (aka forced-feminized) female genetics and through unnatural ratios of male to female genetic production eventually breed in the adaptation to go hermaphrodite at the drop of a hat.
Granted, this doesn't happen THAT often, but we've all likely seen reports of some batches of certain feminized seed stock being almost 100% hermaphrodite from the get-go, even in some of the most prime growing conditions. My personal thoughts go as follows - No more than two generations straight of feminized-refined product, then you need to re-stabilize with fresh unmodified genetics before going through the refining process again, rinse and repeat until you have your desired result. Of course, in the game of genetics, you can't guarantee anything, but from personal experience in preserving landraces for the Dutch and refining those landraces to my personal tastes, this simple regimen seems to keep things quite stable.
Quality post, Rusty, even though you and I disagree and argue on other stuff!
