Can feminized seeds turn out to be male or hermaphrodite?

Yes this can happen in rare cases. On average, only 1 in 1000. This is caused by a lot of reasons like stress during the germination process. Make sure that you watch your plants carefully for signs of hermaphrodism. Move the plant to another room or dispose of it right away as soon as you see the signs.

What is the SunWest Genetics Guarantee?

We stand by our products. We inspect our seeds for quality, tested and handpicked to be mature and viable. Each strain may differ in size, shape and colour. Some seeds like White Widow will actually be paler in appearance, or “white”, which is expected to any strain. An immature seed is green in colour or has a husk which is attached to it.

The guarantee is for germination only and does not include growing in your choice of medium.
