[QUOTE=latewood]hermies are going to happen, when growing from seed...

in all my years of growing indoors and out i have never had a hermie nor seen any in friends' grows. i think most are just a case of misidentifying females and wishful thinking while looking and waiting for preflowers.

breeding stable strains with another stabilized strain makes F1's and can be counted on to be 25% like the mother, 25% the father and 50% mixed traits of both but ALL should have 'hybrid vigor' and grow faster and bigger than the parents. that hybrid vigor is what makes F1's so desireable especially if coming from high quality strains.
