I have been through a few dozen different fem seeds in the last year and have found some really great genetics, but have also found a fare amount of hermies. These hermies are not so do to grow room conditions, as mothers that the seeds produced were shared with several (3) other growers whom also had the same hermy problems with specific cuts.
What I would like to do in this post is discuss breeders and specific feminized seeds that tend to have a high percentage of hermaphrodites in their population as to inform fellow growers on risks with growing particular strains or using gear from breeders that consistently produce hermy fem seeds.
I understand that feminized seeds, by their nature can lean toward being hermaphroditic do to the process in producing them, but I have found it clear that some breeders are better at making fem seeds with out hermy problems than others.
Bellow is a list of breeders and strains that I have worked with in the last year, as well as my/my fellow growers, perceived propensity for the strain to herm out.

Endless Sky, high (from a pack of 10 fem seedsin 2 different gardens/growers, 6/10 produced male pollen and selfed or seeded plants near them. this catastrophe is what lead me to write this post. Its DRGT flagship strain, and produces a great end product, but no one should be buying these seeds feminized, just get the regs if you are interested in this strain)
Absolute cobblers. I have grown this strain two times, from seeds, years apart with zero problems and have friends that have grown it too. Have read review after review after review and grow journals and no one, not anyone has ever reported a hermie in this strain, except you and you're saying 6 out of 10 were male or hermie? Cobblers. You never even grew it did you? These seeds come in packs of 10 with an extra so theres 11 in a pack. Oh! You didn't know that because you've never been within a country mile of that strain.Your nothing but a lying shill for HSO and Sag
