To me, its all about intent. Do you intend to make seeds to sell and compete with the breeder? Obviously not OK.
Do you intend to only use the seeds yourself? Totally fine.
Do you intend to trade and share seeds freely, but not over saturate the market in such a way that the original breeder notices it? Also totally fine…
I think you’d be ok. I don’t see your intent here being to profit off the original breeders work, nor to take credit for it, nor to flood the market with those seeds. Once you purchase seeds, its up to you what you produce from them, whether its just flower, or flower and seeds. At that point, its up to your conscience and ethics.
Some posts in my journal about it, I used eXe spray on a fem black cream to reverse her. Sprayed her at 4 nodes, before preflowers were showing, and she/he made lots of powdery goodness! I also sprayed some Dark Devil at 4 nodes, with preflowers showing, and she/he produced much less pollen, and it seemed chunky and moist compared to the powder from the BC. Still made seeds from that though as well, just not nearly as many, and the pollen produced was 1/20 or less, enough to get the job done, but none to share or save…
@LegsMahoney If ya got questions on eXe with autos, I’d be happy to answer from my limited, but successful, experiences…
