smoking and usage

stankyoleman · #1 (**permalink**) 10-18-2007, 10:57 PM

just wondering what everyone else has encountered as an average all around rough estimate of the ratio of male to female plants in a random collection of seeds (bagseed or otherwise)

for me i find its somewhere around the ballpark of 2-3 males for every female grow, although i remember a few times where starting 4 seeds ended up giving 4 females (no complaints here

)

just wondering, thought it might be interesting to get some others' #s

Personally i think its all chance i dont think you can really calculate an accurate average on that sort of thing. Unless you get Femmed seeds. But ive always heard plant twice what you expect to grow.

I have always had more females than males, as long as you take care of them properly they should mostly be female. THere will always be a male here and there with seeds. I actually had good luck with my current girls. I planted 2 Kali Mist seeds and got 2 females.

That is good odds. Made me happy. Peace and Pot

Out of the 15 plants i have grown so far... (not at once) i have not had 1 male. I had a few hermies but they were mainly females with some male pods. I guess you can say i got lucky. But from now on im just buying femized seeds. So no males in my future

In my experience ive alway's had more females than males, every time ive started frm seed the ratio has been about 6/4 f/m, u can even buy seed soaks that (suppose) to

increase the female ratio

yeah my last grow was 4 females with 2 males however i cut two plants early before sexing and i highly suspect they were both males. good to know others have good luck with their ratios... maybe im just not one of the lucky ones :-/ i'm always extra careful not to stress the plants danmmm
