Howdy Encatuse,

The thing about bag-seed is,is that it's not usually stabilized,it has a tendency for alot of genetic drift and may not stand up to stress very well either,which would cause the plants to go hermie on ya. I have grown from bag-seed,and that is what I experienced. When I grew from good,stabilized,high quality genetics,the difference in quality was like night and day. The yields and potency of good seeds is much better than that of bag-seed for the most part,however,it's possible to say,buy some really good bud and have good results from the seed.

I'd say that you'd be much better off buying seed from a seed bank,don't forget,that growing is alot of time,money and risk..it may as well be for good ,reliable seeds. Good seeds can be bought for relatively little money,for under 50$,in most cases.

Have a good one...Torog
