Day 6 into Flower. These "feminized" seeds don't seem to be females. Just wanted to double check before I chop em' down. Also any reliable seed company's you guys prefer to use?

Chop em and never buy feminized whenever possible. Straight up regular ol weed seeds.
TGA Genetics always come through for me and usually get more females then males, Ethos is also a good company.

Those have nuts for sure. What shady company did those come from?

They came from a stand at a hemp festival by some guy that "threw them in" with purchase of an oil rig. As I'm typing I'm thinking I shouldn't have had high expectations haha.

@Jay127 there are two ways to make feminized seeds 1. have a plant with a genetic disposition to hermi (will more than likely go hermi with all the correct environmental factors) = Seeds will have a high likely hood of going hermi as it's part of their genetics to do so. 2. Stress a plant that doesn't have a genetic disposition to go hermi with improper lighting, chemicals, or various other ways = Seeds that have a high likely hood of being femail but low chance of going hermi as there are very little male genes in the mix.

It has taking a long time for legitimate seed producers to get their strains stable (No random phenos) much less to get stable feminized seeds. Joe shmoe probably isn't at that level unless Joe Shmoe is a a legit seed producer. To give you an idea of difficulty most seed producers don't even mess with trying to produce feminized seeds. Given perfect execution a feminized seed still has a higher chance of going hermi than a regular seed although that chance may be really low.

All that being said if your like me and doing things legally so you can have very few plants going at one time and clones are not even an option feminized seeds from a quality supplier are the way to go. I have had no issues from cali connect fem seeds.

I have never had a male when feminized seeds were purchased. I scrog and buying regular seeds and hoping for all females isn't an option.
