That intrigues me.
Going at it ass-end first, why are they BS?
They have a lot of advantages, and a definite market niche.

As a fellow breeder, please help me understand why you don't like feminized seeds 'because you're a breeder'. Interestingly, just about all the breeders I know have at least experimented with making feminized seeds....inevitably finding ourselves in need of seeds to preserve genetics, and no pollen donor...
It fascinates me that Cannabis reverses sexual expression when exposed to colloidal silver preps.
Not to mention, feminization is the superfast track to shit loads of extremely uniform seed stock that are all bud producing plants. Clones in the form of seeds.

From a genetic standpoint, the plants can only be female and hermie, so seeing some hermie flowers shouldn't be a surprise. But the flowers appear so late into the cycle that it just doesn't matter.
How many times do you read/hear about seeds forming in a feminized crop?
Mostly it's 'naners' that pop up, and not everywhere. Aesthetically displeasing, but inconsequential from a practical viewpoint.

Humm this might piss ppl off but here we go lol..Fem seeds too many variables too much BS from too many disreputable breeders. I can't always bring what works from Cali to BC the climate says "NO" I had one breeder tell our friend it was the moon light triggering nannners.
Cloning only works for so long then it's starts to drift. Take a plant out of it's environment this will happen headband 707

There is a place for everything in different situations.

Fems seeds are good for certain things. And not good for other things. People should understand what they want out of growing. Then from there the decision is easier to make bout fem seeds.

I have usually just gotten clones but this year I bit the bullet and bought seeds. I got easyrider from joint dr and all germinated and grew very well. About half to three quarters of an oz each. Big bang was also another strain I got that were feminised and again no problems. They were from green house seed co. I recently planted autoflower 60 day wonder , wow what a fast growing strain. They are two weeks old and already five to six inches tall, bushy and branching. Has anyone else grown this strain? What kind of harvest should I expect?

Now that cloning has been brought up lol..I will say I'm not a fan of cloning off of a clone and then you just keep going like this. I believe this might be the reason things get weak and sick /drift..
That being said there was a very interesting study being done the Dr's name escapes me now... ANyways it was about cloning grapes and what they found was the clones of mothers wanted or grew better with there sibling only they tested this over and over and found this to be true. headband 707
I believe the show was " The Nature of things"

WTF
And pass whatever you're smoking this way.

Are you saying the clones grew better in close proximity of mom or clone siblings? There are numerous studies suggesting that some species of plants exist as communities. Aspen has been studied much.

Yes this was what this study suggested lol... They went so far as to put newly rooted clones beside none pair sibling/adults and found that their rooting system DID NOT do aswell as when they were paired with their own families lol.. Kewl eh...lol... Now this study was conducted with "grape clones" but I can see this could be accross the board headband 707
