Female to male ratio.

[Heads Up]

I started ten plants, my partner started twenty. I just started my 12/12 schedule last monday, so far I have seven females and I can't tell the other three as of this morning.

My partner, out of his twenty he started, he ended up with eight females. This is my third grow and I have been at sixty five percent female to male ratio with this one even higher. These are just regular seeds, not feminized.

Why do you suppose he gets such a low ratio of females to males in his grows and I get more females than males. He is consistently under fifty percent female to male ratio. We generally go by the fifty fifty rule but I always get more and he gets less females. What's up?

i always end up at about the 60% ratio, when they show their sex i put the males outside and let them grow for hash making

its just the way the dice roll and if you look at this way if a female plant yeilds 1000 seeds 500 can be females 500 can be males. When seed banks / breeders make their seeds they are made / sold in big batches so there's a chance that thoes male to female odds change since you might get more male seeds then females or more female seeds then males

i had 65 plants all femenized seeds. 1 didnt grow at all. and i got 3 males....the other 61 went all the way to harvest.
with regular seeds ive had 4 female 6 male.
then 6 female, and 4 males. you really never know but the chances are basically 50 50 which is why i only buy femenized

Getting more or less than 50% is just a coincidence. On the other hand, Einstein said coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.

Ordered 30 or so feminized from Nirvana, 100% female ratio.

alot of people say that the way you germinate your seeds and such will determin if its gonna be a male or female. imo I think its predetermined when the polin takes and gets the female plant preg.

I just received my order from the attitude. I got the variety pack of sativas from greenhouse seeds and sour cream feminized which is a cross of sour diesel and g13 haze. I also ordered jock horror and malawi 99 regular seeds. I'm hoping to get some males so I can make seeds. I don't want to put out a couple of hundred bucks every time I buy seeds...but I will if I have to.
