Ya I get you don't like the SG, but I'm loving mine. Out of the 8 females I got in a pack only one hermed out the first week of flower. The other 7 were pretty similar in smell and structure. Only one other SG had a lower pollen sack after 7 weeks in flower. I guess I was lucky. If another one hermed I guess we would be close to your 30% estimate but finding keepers is what keeps me in the game.
Two of them were larfy but gave a decent yield. Overall very good yield from all of them. Other than the larfy/leafy ones the rest had solid buds all the way down the branch. I have 4 keepers that will be quite hard to choose from. Totally amazing from 1 pack of seeds.
Same thing with my Twin Flames. NO herms at all. Not even a lower pollen sack late. 6 beauties and 3 awesome keepers that will be hard to decide which ones will be kept.
Hey man.. If you found stuff you like in the pack and are happy with the results, I can’t knock that! Seeds are a very “Your Mileage May Vary” topic and I absolutely love some lines that others did not like. I view this like scratch tickets. You win some, you lose some. I lost pretty hard with those Strawberry Goji packs, but it looks like others balanced out my bad luck with good and won big!
The Strawberry Goji hunt gives me nightmares due to a self inflicted issue that was: Pheno hunting in trellis netting.. I have nightmares about trying to rip herming, pollen dumping plants out of a double layer trellis without disturbing or pollinating others around it. Needless to say I stake all plants during hunts and only use trellis during production runs.
