All good man, I'm hearing what you're saying. An F1 that is then grown out and selectively selfed with colloidal silver and subsequently test-grown to see if it throws a bunch of herms is very different thing from a straight S1 thrown on the market, but the timeline that this is all happening in makes me know it isn't damn likely. I guess my baseline is a lot more cynical in that way. I assume people are taking shortcuts and hope they are not. New shit is popping up too fast for most of these breeders to be really working every line diligently. The more I learn the more I'm wary of fems, but I pretty much understand the risk. I have to say some of the big name breeders who get a shit rap online have really had the most reliable results I've seen, in my short time growing. I know this is the RD thread so I'm hesitant to name names, but some small-time folks are definitely doing it right all the way down the line. (*cough* *cough* Professor P) - and I still don't hate on RD at all, just not likely to buy any more fems from them.An S1 vs f1 is very different. I just feel they should advertise as such. An f1 could be stable but an s1 could throw a bunch of different shit. Genetically similar, however how a plant breeds, how dominant the traits are plays a big role in what pops out of the seed. I've grown rd before and I just popped about 50 more to hunt. Never had herm problems.
I'm not retarded but am a self proclaimed asshole at times. I owe it to you. Sorry buddy. Seems the info is hidden on rd site and not widely broadcasted.
Happy growing.
I, too, am a self-proclaimed asshole, we have that in common. I'd rather be an asshole than an idiot, any day.
