Strain Reviews, HID vs Supplementing Heat, Seed Co Update, and More, with Rhizo Rich

Bag Seeds

Bag seeds, often found in cannabis buds, present both opportunities and challenges for growers. Rizo Rich shares his experiences, noting that while some bag seeds result from hermaphroditic plants, they can still produce valuable strains. He encourages growers to experiment with these seeds, as many famous strains have originated from them 1. Jordan River adds that finding a single seed in a bag can be exciting, but frequent seeds might indicate unstable genetics 2.

If you have them and they really interest you and you want to pop them, pop them. Because a lot of good strains have come from, you know, back seeds, a lot of very famous ones.

Despite the unpredictability, both agree that bag seeds can be a gateway for new growers to start their cultivation journey.

   

Seed Testing

Testing seeds for genetic stability and sex before planting can significantly impact a grower's success. Jordan River discusses his experiences with seed testing, highlighting the randomness of results and the importance of sharing these findings with the community 3. Rizo Rich offers practical support by providing extra tests, emphasizing the value of collaboration among growers.

If you add them up, it ends up being 50. 50. For instance, 4 out of 4 twerkle males on my first sample test result. 4 out of 4 ice cream Wolfman females on my second test result.

This exchange underscores the unpredictability of seed testing and the camaraderie within the growing community.
