Of course you need to fix the "http" when you cut and paste it into your browser.
I suppose I should've also said that these seeds are not from the Reeferman, but a guy called the 'Newf'. So, they are definitely not the 'f-1' generation, but most likely f-2 or f-3. And I doubt they're feminized, or else they would be sold as such, for an inflated price.
At any rate, this version has most likely lost some hybrid vigour, but it can be restored if you are willing to work the seedline for a while. Just remember that you can't base a judgment of the f-1 on the quality of these seeds. The true f-1 will be superior to anything you grow out from these seeds.
To restore peak hybrid vigour, it will require inbreeding two lines, selected from the seeds you start with. These two lines are never to be crossed to each other for at least 7 generations. You'll need at least two females, and one male, or vice versa, one female and two males.
The parents you start with should be kept going until the project is complete. You may need them for something, down the road. Completion can be achieved in a couple years, if all goes well. It's a long term project, as you can see, but when you cross the two f-7 lines, you will achieve some major restoration of hybrid vigour.
EDIT:- Btw, concerning the Reeferman, I'd like to make a few observations, if I may. I never met the man nor spoke to him, so what I have to say was harvested from "the grapevine;" and from those who knew him well.
Anyone ever see that movie on 'racism' which starred Ed Norton? I forget the title, but Norton is a real hard-core Neo-Nazi at the start of the movie, but ends up doing some hard time and experiences a genuine change of mind concerning his old ways. He get's out and goes back home, only to find out he has become some kind of local folk hero, and his younger brother is trying his damndest to follow in his big bro's shoes; and Norton's mission in life is now to try and save his younger bro' from the legacy he left behind, when he experienced this life-changing revolution of mind.
It's really a good movie to see, if you have'nt seen it yet. I think it's called something like 'American ????', or something like that. One main lesson of the movie is that people change; some for the better, others for the worse. Norton changed for the better, and from I heard in the past, from the Reeferman's close buds, is that he too changed for the better; and left that life behind him; as far behind him as he could. How does one atone for the errors of one's youth? That's a tough one to answer. When you figure it out, let me know.
All I know is that we ought to deal with people at face value, which is to say, in terms of how they treat us personally, one on one, and not according to how someone else views them, or what they have said about him or her. People change and if it is true that the Reeferman has changed, then it would not be right for me to just ignore that, and go on condemning and hating him for the things of the past.
Now, in terms of breeding skills, there is no doubt in my mind that he is one of the most talented Canadian breeders in history. Anyone heard of the dude called 'Dutch Flowers'? His limited version seed releases broke all barriers for what they sold for. Well, in my humble opinion, the Reef was just as good, if not better. I say "was" because it is not clear to me whether or not he has guit the biz, or is just taking a long sabbatical.
His principal downfall, so far as I could see, is that he was way too ambitious, and tried to accomplish too much too soon. Perhaps that spells greed. Nonetheless, he generated some real top quality breeds, and I'm not sure how long he's going to be around, but my guess is that with talent like that, he's not going to ever get too far away from the breeding biz. It is likely he'll make some big changes if he decides to stay with it.
But if you have his some of his better gear, look after it well, as it may very well become a collector's item only, and very hard to acquire in the future. Personally, I am trully amazed with the stuff he came out with over just a very short period of time. It is almost legendary in ways. But as I say, when you've got so much on the go, like he had, you begin to cut corners, just to try and get it all done. And some mistakes get made.
