EM2 , why dont you like fem? I've only grown feminised with excellent results and no hermies (except some nanas l8 in flowering), and the only time i grew regular i was dissapointed mainly because of their many different phenotypes (which is not a good thing if you have limited head space and no veg chamber to keep a mom), whereas feminised (no matter the strain) have been very uniform so far. Have you ever grown Northern Lights? If yes, how would you compare it to shiva skunk.
Thak you guys for your time
I don't like Fem for a few reasons, Hermies is one reason, can't take cuttings and I also believe that they have been messed with that much there are more vigorous plants with more potency and more reliable.
I wouldn't claim to be any expert or out like that I like to select the best from a pack and keep it long term, I have done loads of strains now and like I say only 3 keepers needless to say I have tried some pretty decent stuff and the standards are high.
What I say to somewone in doubt of kjeeping mothers is read the bonsai mothers thread anyone can keep genetics in a tiny space, I know for a fact that every pack of seeds doesn't always produce anything decent, I couldn't bare to lose my strains as they take so long to find.
Defo give shiva a blast mate everyone who has tried mine absolutely loved it
