Reveging growth but never stoped 18/6

Do you remember when space bucket grows were all over the place 10-20 years ago? All that time and effort for an 1/8 oz.

Paying twice as much for a triploid seed that is virtually seed free sterile vs a fem seed that is 98% chance of seed free. Not a lot of quality return on the investment. They claim stronger resistance to disease but haven't seen any nonmarketing science that backs that up. To be fare I haven't looked that hard because not being able to make feminised seeds is a deal breaker from the start. Interesting science but a concerning direction for the home growing hobby.

It sounds like you are confusing flower infertility with production of male plants. Plants grown from feminized seed will produce seeds if pollinated. The triploid females are infertile and will not produce seed. So, imagine you are a big outdoor grower with some acres of plants, THC or CBD. You don't want any of your buds to get pollinated from random pollen in the wind, and produce seed. In some areas of the world, there are big industrial hemp farms that intentionally grow hermie crops, for seed production (food and oil). Or industrial hemp grown from regular not feminized seed.

Triploids are females that can and do herm just like feminised seeds. The pollen produced by the herm naners in triploid are low fertility, not sterile. Diploids can not pollenate tripoids but triploids can self and cross pollenate triploids. The odds of a triploid successfully seeding are much lower but not zero. Have you never found a seed in your "seedless" watermelon? Exact same thing being another triploid plant.

They clearly have a large scale, outdoor, commercial application. Not disputing that at all. I am referring to the small hobby grows that most people on here do. Growing outdoors, non feminised "bag" seeds, I would occasionally get one maybe two seeds in a plant. Indoors the only time I get a seed is when I am trying to make them. Paying 2 to 3 times the price for a seed I can not reproduce and solves a problem that small growers don't have just doesn't make sense to me. Pay extra to rent rather than own a genetic is not a good direction for the hobby. Good financial direction for the seed banks.
 
Forgot to post these. Mother in flower for comparison and clone in veg for comparison. She is heading the right direction.
