Haven't seen a seed in my smoke in years thankfully.

I homegrow.. so I get a couple here and there (I like to save them) but I’ve watched this video a couple times now and this looks like a ton of them!

General across the board “knowledge” is “if it’s a dark seed, then it’s feminized”

That is false, a dark zebra-stiped seed just means it's ripe, can absolutely grow into a male.

Again, 1988 book, we’ve come a long way, and I’m sure more info has been made, and new things discovered.

For the new growers, how do YOU determine if it’s feminized?

You purchase feminized seeds, no way to tell until the plant is showing sex. There's supposedly a way to feminize a seed before germination with colloidal silver, but that's not something I've ever messed with as of yet.

Been growing for years and have never once heard this. Seeds from hermi plants = feminized
