Howdy GC, Well I was at a friends house last night just chilling with a few people and there was a sack with 15 seeds sitting on the table, obviously left over from a sack. I asked if I could have them and everyone was cool with it. SO, now I have a sack with 15 seeds from a probably decent sack.... Is it worth going to the store and spending the money to buy supplies to try and grow these suckers, OR is it not worth it because the seeds most likely won't turn out.
These plants were from seeds I got in some good bud, which is usually rare around here, and it was my first time growing.
I'm growing with bag seed, its doing just fine. I might go with online seeds later, but for now I'm getting the basics down.
so from everyones experience bag seeds do indeed work? Is there anyway I can figure out which ones are 'dud' so to speak?
Bagseed will work great as long as they pass these things; The first most obvious test is color, are they dark or white? Dark tends to be mature, while white isnt. Also, squeezing them in between your thumb and index finger, if they crush, they are no good. After that, If you havnt already, read up on the process of germination to find out which will sprout and which wont, here.
I just started a bag seed about 2 weeks ago and its growing fine, the only bad thing about bag seeds is the only thing you know about it is the bud and the high, where as with online ordering they tell you all you need to know about it. But if you just want a plant then be my guess.
Like most of the others I would say that bagseeds absolutely work and produce some top notch herb. I've grown seeds from commercial-grade crap and it turned out very well. I grew several bagseed plants and they stacked up well with the "real" dutch offerings. Much of what makes crappy weed bad is lack of care when growing and improper harvesting and curing. Many of the elite strains started out as a seed in somebodies baggie of weed.
I´d say if the weed was good, then your only problem is that the seeds aren´t feminized, so you´ll have a 50/50 chance that you get some nice dank females, or some disgusting male plants with their polinizing nuts in your face xD. But probably worth a try, most of the grows I´ve seen are from sacks and they´ve had like 70% to 80% females.
I save my bag seeds in two categories dank and high mids. I use a little film container and a medicine container to separate them. If you can tell what high you got from your sac you could even categorize into sativa/indica
