Every step you now take, takes you one step closer to enlightenment.

Perhaps if we were to step-back, take a look at the long-term goals, and make sure the strategy fits the goals...this might be a less painful journey.

For the price of one femmed strain, you can get two quality batches of 'normal' seeds. I'd go for the high quality organic genetics (un-femmed) and do an initial seed run to get to know the strain, and to replenish my seed stock and preserve your genetics.
This way, if the time comes that you want to fem 'em, you know the strain and you are likely to have more success and (should) retain strain stability. Plus, if something goes wrong, you have a back-up plan and the untainted seeds to start anew. Heck, you can get a sativa dom, and an indica dom...and spend the next fifty years perfecting femmed crosses if you so desire.

Eases the mind when you don't have to worry about screwing-up a mega-dollar strain. Panic creates impatience. (or is it the other way around...?)

But if your back is up against the wall, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. :thumbsup:

Anyway...that's my story, and I'm sticking to it, lol.
