You make some good points there, but when you say to go with reg beans (not feminized), why is that better? I would dare to say that probably 98% of the people you ask that to as a question, they would probably disagree. Are you saying that a female plant that comes from a reg bean is more potent, or a bigger yielder, or something else? The smoke I encountered double digit years ago is no where near as good as it is today. Of course, I didn't have dr. greenthumb either (lol). Let us know your reasoning.
