Few questions on a seed line; talk from experience only no guessing

TGA seeds

I cant afford the guessing or theories or whatever. Im a newer grower and member here and i suffer severely medically. My life is miserable and frustrating without the relief from medical bud. I have mental illness as well as physical disease and other surgery complications etc so this isnt the best time to be doing "guess work".

I just placed an order through attitude based on a recommendation from a fellow member here. Considering he has about 1500 posts i figure ok yea coming from experience. So i guess i slipped up and laxed a little on my research that day due to a hard day for me medically and just wanting to relax.
I ordered all TGA seeds(for some reason idk why i didnt try multiple considering i ordered pick 'n' mix). Any way i ordered the following: cheese quake, chernobyl, apollo 13 x vortex, agent orange, jack the ripper, deep purple, and jilly bean. Due to the cost of the order i do have a few extra freebies like

DInafem : White Widow , Haze automatic

Delicious : Critical Sensi Star

Samsara: El Alquimista

World of Seeds : Pakistan Ryder automatic

So to sum this up i need a for sure harvest. I cannot afford any mistakes or hermies etc. I ordered these thinking itd be best due to the info from the breeder like yeild, days to harvest, sativas, and its effectiveness on conditions(like pain, anxiety, sleeping etc seemed to be my best bet).

Did i blow it this time basically? I mean i read some other things about tga producing alot of hermies and this that and the other but there was so much ignorant posting it was very unclear and confusing.

I also dont know if the breeder has improved his methods and techniques?

What do you guys think will be my best move to make when they arrive to ensure a good yielding, potent, effective crop to promote my medical wellness and recovery?

I am really dissappointed about all this and fearing the fact that i will have to suffer due to the prices of it being high(reason why im growing).
Any knowledge shared about this will be greatly appreciated.

jillybean can be a real pleasure to grow, just dont stress her too much, she likes to pop nanners (i'm unsure if they are sterile) under high stress around week 7-9 of flower. takes about 9 weeks to flower. the agent orange is similar except it grows taller, stretched more, smell more like oranges and less like candy(jillybean smells like candy or orange skunk), also agent orange is more potent. Chernobyl is more like Agent orange, as it grows tall, yields alot too just like agent orange, smells citric and strong in flower, very potent but takes around 10-11 weeks to flower. Jack the ripper is the male used to pollinate Chernobyl's and Agent orange's Mom, so it grows like both of those strains, straight up hybrid sativa growth, modest to good yields. the Apollo 13 BX is very stable, stink and potent, it is pretty darn uniform.

No, you didnt blow it. I am one of those who doesnt necessarily like TGA's "breeding" style.
That wont affect you too much. Thing is he has a dad that is great, he has mothers that are great. He crosses them together and you get a buffet of choices out of the kids. Whether they lean towards mom, or towards dad, or even some of each, they will be good. I dont consider the TGAs I have smoked to be what I consider "potent" but they arent knockovers either. Take a few hits off a bowl and you will have a nice solid buzz. I really like the types of buzz his strains give, they are well balanced.
Your biggest problem, being a medicinal patient, is that you may find a certain pheno in one of his seed packs that works PERFECTLY for your problem. So you order another pack of that strain. You grow out 20 and cant find that same pheno again.
I havent had hermie problems myself, but it does seem quite a few others are dealing with that issue. I would suggest keeping that in mind and pay close attention to your plants. Try to keep them from being stressed as best as you can.

If you are growing in small quantities, I would suggest looking into feminized seeds. They are generally more uniform and you wont need to waste time and space culling males. You know what you will have from the time you germ the seeds.

Thank you very much for your input it really means alot and makes me feel alot of relief about my order. Currently im running 8 pots with bag seeds(to prepare for males, herms, whatever) to get the hang of things. But when the package arrives i will be building a DIY cloner; reason being that i will only be growing one plant at a time(two at most) while cloning as well for more frequent and efficient harvests.

Anyway point being is you have helped me decide a plan of action when the seeds arrive to ensure the i recieve the quality medicine i need in a reasonable time!!

Thank you once again kind sir for the tips on my specific strains I truely appreciate your time and effort to help a fellow patient

I will be doing a grow journal on each of these tga strains so i will definately update you on my results!!!

yea i think next time i will definately be looking at the fems next time; as i stated above i will be only growing one or two at a time and cloning so i think thatd be my best bet to ensure i recieve the medicine i need.

Thank you guys very much for the quick responses. Again i appreciate your time, effort, and consideration of another humans well being!!
Will add rep!
