True, colloidal MAKES them Hermie. People need to understand however that a forced Hermie is not a genetically prone Hermie, therefore seeds from a forced Hermie don't carry a trait. Unless of course the genetics were shitty in the first place. Also a lot of Hermies are due to bad environmental conditions anyways, some breeds more easily stressed than others.

So, (and i know this is a silly question) but im growing with cfls normally. I may or may not get new lights. Assuming i dont, in a 4×3x8 closet with about- 500 actual watts and a topsoil, perilte, coir, and peatmoss medium, what is a good vendor and strain to use? This grow wont start for a while but i wanna step my game up.
I prefer sativa smoke but indica strains suit my growing style better.
Id like to use fems, but i dont wanna spend a shit ton of money on hermies lol

with regular seeds, you have a 50/50 chance of a female, so you do the math. Guaranteed females that,even if the hermied, you could probably still get good smoke from it, some hermie worse than others, you can pull off nanners.
most seeds are hybrids, just get a sativa dom. strain
if you're on the west coast, attitude is safe and has the largest selection, if back east, i would try someone else.

Check out the tude. Have a sus at barneys farm seeds. Roughly $50 for a 5 pack and I never had a hermie from them. My advice try the critical kush

Don't worry about Hermie. The actual percentage of fem seeds going Hermie vs those that don't is very low with quality seeds. I prefer fem as I know as soon as a bean cracks, I have a living female plant. No brainer. Reg seeds are fine too, as stated your adds are good for females. But guess what? I've grown out ten and had 10 males before, not likely- but do you have time for that? Not me lol.

That's unlucky all males, regs are good coz there's more phenos to find and when you find the right lady. She'll keep as a mother better. Fems aren't great for being mothers coz after like three to five clonings they usually hermie out on ya.

Here are some strains for you bro
Ice
If you like White Widow and Skunk try Ice by Female Seeds cheap and I haven't found a single banana on them, temps have gotten to over 100 degrees during an unexpected heat wave that hit us. Plants are very vigorous, frosty, and grow well under low light applications.
Creame Mandarine
A freebie from Sweet Seeds that turned out to be an amazingly fast and frosty plant, also grew under low light (100w LED from Advancedledlights.com), the stem smelled of straight oranges the buds had a sort of raspberry flavor to it. Very stable in my opinion, however the first run I let her go until she did throw a banana but I chopped her down and she was amazing. Revegged and regrew it in a much bigger pot with 300 watts from the same manufacturer.
C99
Also by female seeds, very stable grapefruit pheno x pineapple pheno of C99. You said you were into Sativas and this would definitely suit your environment well. I grew mine under 300w LED and it had nice big cola's with a grapefruit smell and flavor. Not the tightest nugs for sure they are airy like Sativas.
Don't be afraid, those are some of the cheapest seeds available and they have produced a bountiful and very fulfilling fruit
.anyone know if it should: (Sativa's) or Sativas ?

I wouldn't recommend thedankteam/ngr because I order some cannaventure and the plastic seal was taken off with the freebies from cannaventure removed, cannaventure always add freebies in their cans, so imho dankteam no bueno!!!.
