  • What are some opinions on growers chucking pollen , whether it be feminised or regular, on whatever they have going and the seeds used by other growers whether they had grown out the parent female before hand
    Or do the other growers take pot luck if they turn out to be good or you get a batch of hermies
    If the plant/s do happen to hermie , providing a good environment by experienced growers was provided, should blame be portioned at the grower
    Does the chucker have any responsibilities , even though the seeds may be free ?

    I mean if your going to sell your genetics as one thing and don't actually have stable genetics that's not cool imo but I mean if your creating your own genetics lines over decades with legitamite intentions to create stable products of specific and almost guaranteed characteristics and results that's a win that's a real breeder and someone who's putting the community first by offering up quality in their work and respect for the plant and craft in which the breeder has dedicated their time to creating to offer to the community. Pollen chucking is okay if your sell them as such or you are very trasparent and clear to your freinds and the people your offering them to . Most f1 Hybrids aren't very stable and after you breed them down the f2s are even more variable and so on... without real selections over many generations of progeny the genetics are not going to have a stable traits and the results will show because of the huge variation. So it's not ethical to offer people pollen chucked genetics also it can have issues in the gene pool.

    100% i get satisfaction seeing 1 of my creations grown out by someone and confident its going to meet expectations
    Passing seeds untried, in most cases the chuck has been done on 1st plant they grew before they have at least grown it out , so nothing is known about the mother just that its female

    Well its looks like my ,what was looking good ,is full of hermies , I never noticed b4, seen a few seeds forming on top of a cola .went inside grabbed my glasses
    Out of 13, 4 are cut down , the plants with least seeds remain ,on further inspection the problem is finding 1 thats ok , got no choice need some buds so I'll have to run what's left
    The seeds came from a experienced grower , I very rarely run feminised seeds
    So I though 1 feminised run would be nice over summer
    Got to do another grow now , running my own stock
    Example of what I first stated
