My opinion is different than yours, freewheelinfrank, but I don't think either of us is wrong. Outdoors the female seeds make a lot of sense, indoors, why bother. Because most growers are just indoors, your opinion is right most of the time. My experience has been that grown outdoors, only about 1% of female seeds turn hermaphrodite, and they only do it then when they are badly stressed. Us outdoor folks, if we don't buy female seeds are left with two choices. We can "go natural" and then return to our dangerous sites once a week to kill half our plants so that the other half aren't seedy and ruined, or we have to have a pretty much full blown indoor oreration that allows us to make female clones. For outdoor growers, female seeds make sense. Indoor growers have a lot more hermaphrodite problems, they don't sweat killing the males like us outdoor growers do, and they get to keep the best of the best going via clones. just my take, any other opinions?
