Bagseeds???

Hey growers I’ve got a question regarding bagseeds and S1 plants. Would a bagseed be an S1 plant? I’m asking because I’ve been growing for quite some time, often fem beans, and have been wondering this for years. The search function hasn’t been much help for this specific topic. I’ve recently found 5 Peanut Butter Breath seeds in a bag, planning on growing them out, and was curious to know if they’d be considered S1 or have a different classification. :peace:

Many bag seed unfortunately came from hermied plants in a factory.

We see people grow out bag seed daily here and many times subsequently see a new thread from them in flower asking why their plant has seeds.

For sure, I get that. I’ve probably grown out somewhere between 40-50 bagseeds in outdoor gardens over the years and rarely find a seed in the flower. Just wondering the difference between an S1 I’ve purchased and a bagseed I’ve found

I highly doubt they would be considered the same. But let's see what others who make seeds often have to say.

Bagseed can go either way. It could be from a hermaphrodite that grew balls and didn't get noticed where the seeds will not be feminized. It could come from pollen formed in nanners hidden in the flowers in which case the seeds will most likely be feminized. Some use the term rodelization for nanners that form late flower and it is an old method of making feminized seed. It's not reliable which is why chemically induced reversal is the primary method used. STS, CS, and some still use Ga3 are the only viable way to successfully produce feminized seed at any level of scale.

I prefer using STS. It's proven to cause a female plant to produce male flower parts that develop pollen that carries only the female chromosome and is highly reliable and is likely the most widely used method by breeders around the world at this time. CS is highly reliable as well granted you have a good source of CS. Unfortunately many buy premade solutions online and in many cases those solutions do not produce the desired effect and an individual is just spraying without ever achieving the desired goal. Producing your own CS which is a simple task or mixing your own STS are the preferred methods used by those that are seeking the most successful results.

Back to bagseed. The only way to know is to grow it out. Keep an eye on it and see what develops. When in doubt, grow it out.

Thank you for the detailed and educated response! I appreciate you taking the time to explain this to me. I will definitely grow out the beans, and I’m now kind of excited to think these seeds may be a new hybrid, accidentally pollinated by another plant!

Did you get this bag seed from a dispensary or black market?
