Seeds found in a bag of Midi's = Mid grade weed, correct?

It does sound rather stupid but I have quite a few friends that will say the seeds we find in the regular weed, as long as they are taken care of, will grow to be more than regular weed so to speak. But Im personally stuck on the fact that if you get a seed from a bag of mids, you plant it, youre going to grow mids.

Now I would ask for some input in the situation and hear what others would have to say about that. Prove my friends wrong and prove me right Yahooka! hahaha peace

Unless seeds were added (to rip you off by adding weight)
Then the seeds are going to produce
the same kind of plants that you smoked.

The difference would be in the way an individual plant is raised,
and handled after the buds are picked. That can make a HUGE difference.

Growing is all about nurturing, so a mid grade seed could conceivably grow to be of a higher quality than its brethren, or even better than a higher grade strain that was rushed...

Even seeds from the worst weed you've ever smoked is capable of producing nice buds. It's the farmer that determines all.

i agree with grieves on this one.

a seed from a bag of mids could easily produce better buds. since mids is usually old mass produced weed thats like 5 years old.

if you grow, trim and dry with care, any pot seed is capable of getting you baked, even moreso than its mother plant. but the results are marginal.

that schwag seed could amount to better, but not as much as a sour diesel seed would u know what i mean. you know right off the bat that that diesel is gonna be turbo dank with regular care because it has the genetics. but you still gotta take care and harvest right for it to be to its full potential its an isue of nature vs. nurture. both play a role in the quality of said bud.

I question that theory. it's been said that it all depends on the strain. Correct me if I am wrong.

It's both.

You can have seeds for kick ass weed,
but if you don't grow properly,
your product will suffer

You can have seeds for average weed,
and if you grow it properly,
you will make the best of the genetics.

Again, it depends on the skill level of the farmer. Once a farmer is at a certain point in his/her persuits, then, yes, genetics matter. A lot.

But until the farmer reaches that point, genetics plays little part in what the farmer produces. (Other than obvious ones like hemp vs pot, or ruderalis vs sativa/indica.)

Joe Blow
on his very first grow
bought some Hindu Kush

Joe Blow
used Miracle Grow
he thought he'd get a bush

Every day
he'd get the mister and spray
foliar feed on the leaves

He cried and cried
when the plant up and died
it burnt up from the nutes, now he grieves

You just re-iterated the point that it's the famer. Thank you.

if a person were able to obtain some genetics that they knew were bred intentionally, they shd likely skip most any bagseed unless they had space for a special exception.

just another opinion in the pot, though.
