I think I have been burned. I bought seeds through Weed-Seeds.net which was given a good reference at marijuanaseedbanks.com.
I ordered 10 seeds each of Northern Lights and master Kush and got 5 bonus seed of an indica variety. I planted 13 seeds which were a mix of the 3 types.
All the seeds sprouted well but I ended up with a very high proportion of males.
Of the 13 out of 13 that sprouted (I used pre-soaking in water method), I destroyed 2 that were growing outside (not enough light), 2 died before flowering, and I tossed 2 to lower the number of plants. Of the 7 I flowered, 6 were males. Even if the 2 I tossed were females, which I doubt, that ratio of males is still too high.
I took cuttings of the one female which was the bonus indica. It has large thick leaf segments on a small plant. I flowered the one mother plant while raising the cuttings under 18 hour cfl. Last week, I harvested a 4 inch bud from the mother and transplanted the cuttings to 5 gal. The buds have little or no resin on them (it is a very low bud odor plant). I smoked some of the dried bud for the first time yesterday and it is bunk. Now I am thinking of tossing the cuttings. For 3 months of my efforts and expenses I have nothing to show.
Lots of questions are in my mind and I am wondering if this is the dark side of femanized seeds or what.
Could it be this indica bud is medical marijuana type and has a "different" effect. I feel little or no effect of being stoned.
