Regular seeds why?

What's the benefit of regular seeds instead of feminized? Out of say a 10pk what's the most males u ever got?

I want to know the same , I dont see a point in buying reg seeds , unless you cross bread?

some people beleive fem beans produce more plants with intersex traits (i dont) some people use them for breeding (regular is preferred) if youd like to find a good male for crosses, maintaining heirloom genetics and so on lots of reason for regs and as for the second question its usually about 50/50 but ive seen people get 8 males abd no females out of a pack of 10 :/
if your just a grower lookin for bud tho fem and clone is probably tour best option

Cheaper..& more vigor, Ill say that fem seeds have a harder time germinating. Dynafem/Greenhouse/Netherland

Ive popped so many seeds in my life.. so I kinda dont remember exactly.
Hmmm most males I've ever got?... I think almost all except for one. From a 10 pk.
Least males Ive ever got?.. 2 from a 10 pk. I was running MH/cool temps & foliar feeding with N. I think it worked.

If I have time, and space, I'll run standard seeds. Sometimes they are out of the femmed stuff.

It not a huge deal to pull males, the girls will fill in the empty spaces.
