Regular strains, said plainly
Males and females in the pack, on purpose. How a father stays in a library, and why most Scouse keepers are still this format.
Regular seed is the old way because it is the honest way. A pack carries both sexes. A male (XY) pollinates a female (XX). Roughly half the offspring would be male if you ever ran them. That is not a defect. That is how a father stays in a library. That is how the next generation is made without a chemistry set.
Photoperiod means the plant reads the season. It is not an auto. Most live keepers on this site are regular photoperiod: Durban Poison Bx2, Orange Gas, Black Punch, Jammy Dodgers, Strawberry Truffle, Velvet Cake, Lemon Dodgers, Apricot Punch, Orange Apricot. Ruff’s coming-soon Jamaica lines are the same format.
What you are paying for
Sixteen seeds, £100, on Scouse keepers: a germ-tested batch of regular seed, males and females in the pack. Collabs and the Ruff drop are sixteen regular for £100 when they pack. You are not paying for a promise that every plant is female. You are paying for a tested line you can actually work.
Regular also means you can keep work. A Bx1 or Bx2 is a return to a parent we actually have. You cannot line-breed a story. You breed a plant. Males are part of that sentence. We do not publish a sexing SOP. Cultivation without a licence is illegal in the UK.
The hunt still applies
A regular pack is not an excuse for scatter we have not scored. We pop large numbers, throw most of them away, and pack what does the same thing twice. Regular is the format. The hunt is the filter. Read How we phenohunt if you want that half.
Female packs sit next to this, not instead of it. SG Kush, French Cake, Dutch Apple Pie and Watermelon Slushy are 6 female seeds for £50. If you want the library, buy regular. If you want six females in the envelope, buy those. Both are stock.
Souvenir, not a tent manual
This shop sells seed as souvenirs and for genetic preservation. 18+. A regular pack is still a pack of seeds, not a licence to germinate them. The genetics lesson is why the sexes are in the bag.
