25% chance of male plant?

[Madagascar]

This was my personal experience from 5 seeds I started.
I've always heard 50% chance but never had this happen.
Also anyone have experience in shipping seeds?
I keep seeing good reviews but seeing some that have their package confiscated by customs

Why? Read up on cloning. If you know about pot regular seeds are the way to go if you have the time, space and knowledge. Clone them all as they veg. By the time they flower you can have an idea on the line you want.

Compare the price of seeds on how many you get. Go regular. I have never had 50% males even in old brickweed from the 60's. My experience is around 1/3 at the most being male.

Yes,absolutely.A whole bunch of strains we see today are from bagseeds(parents)I have grown out some seed from real scwaggy weed before. The best "bluberry" flavor I ever had from weed was from bagseed.The thing you have to watch for are hermies. If it's brick you will get as many hermies as males.

I like growing bag seed once in a while. What makes brick weed bad isn't genetics, its the way it was grown and packaged. Nobody grows shit genetics on purpose. It makes no sense to do that. We all want the best bud and the biggest yield even from "brick weed"

Just planted 7 in October. 2 were male.

I planted 5 from bagseed (ATF, OG, 2 BlueCheese, and some dro i never got the name) one of the ATF was male.
the rest female.

Herbie's is good. Nirvana too. I stopped using Attitude because of the shipping costs. OA Seeds is great. In Spain and US Customs has not held upa single one from there. I had 3 held up from Attitude although I did get all 3 but had to complain to the USPS online about it all 3 times. Gorilla Seeds is killer too. I am tending to go with Spanish based seedbanks and OA Seeds is often the cheapest. Use Seedfinder. It doesn't list all seedbanks but it DOES link you to whichever seedbanks have the strain you are seeking IN STOCK and the prices.

[hotrodharley]

Example here: I am looking at growing out this strain after my bud in OR says it is potent and really yields in hydro especially.

http://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/The_Incredible_Bulk/Dr_Krippling_Seeds/

Check that Herbie's is $59.05 for 5 seeds while Gorilla is the cheapest this time at $53.17. That $6 adds up in my book. Especially the way I order seeds. All the shops listed have the seeds in stock. Otherwise the name would not show.

Yes mexi brick seeds are good. They are better suited outdoors becuse some will have long flowering times.

Now a days with brick yiu get the spectrum when growing.

The growers of mexi have introduced indicas and hybrids into their gene pool. So when you grow a mexi brick seed you could have anything from long flowering sativa to a quick indica.

Being a stone's throw from Juarez literally I can assure you they are bringing hybrid. They caught on years ago to shorter flowering times from indicas. The rich guys there who finance it all are world travelers, high dollar and not stupid. The northern Mexican Chihuahua arroyo weed is just plain nasty and shit but the southern grown stuff can rock.

I havent seen anything good ever come from nirvana. Lots of complaints though including my own. @hotrodharley the last nirvana expirience i had was 5 reg seeds and i had four males. Then the female i cloned the hell outta turned out to be a 16 week finnisher. I wasnt happy. Find a reliable seed bank and then find a trusted seed producer to get genetics from through the seed bank. The GorrilaSeedBank gets out some good stealthy seeds. I just started a pack of grape kush from cali connection, and it came with three freebies, widow, og kush, and a lemon auto.

Greenhouse Seeds. Years ago after the breakup with Shanti I got some SSH seeds from them. All took forever to finish with shit yield of airy wispy ass bud. I had passed on cloning my OG13 anymore when I put these in the room. 16 weeks and they could have gone forever. No more Greenhouse ever for me. I don't care if they rule the roost.

No doubt. I have a few friends that get brick. There are different grades. I have smoked some straight fire that come from across the border.

I just know that with big open fields I know they got cross pollination and even with hybrids being introduced the seeds you get could be anything.

I guess that's why I always liked popping them.

I like variety and looking for a diamond.

I was worried about hermies also the first time. the bagseed i got it from was seedy. But ive kept stress down and the female plant is budding like crazy
