You won't have to worry about males. Just don't stress your plants and you'll be fine, otherwise you might force a female into becoming a hermie.

feminized seeds come from self pollenating hermaphrodite plants.
so the only 2 things your seeds can be is female or hermaphrodite.
as long as you dont stress the plants they should be 100% female

Yeah theres a guarantee you pretty much wont get males but if they get lotsa heat stress or are improperly cared for they can turn into hermaphrodites

i used to have some trouble with feminised seeds becoming hermies.... usually just happens on one or two buds in my room and only a couple at that but you can see the different formation on these buds, less dense and more leafy... sure it was down to heat stress and maybe afew light leaks here and there... still a bugger tho!! now got clones off a reliable mother for my next grow, no more seeds in my bud (even if it is just a couple!!)

Here's a fly in the ointment.
The seeds I've been growing are obviously from a female/female pollination, the really high female to male ratio bears this out. I had yet to get a male in more than 40 seeds started to date.
I went 12/12 2 days ago, and so far, I have weeded out 5 males. These are true males, and so far are not showing any signs of female parts. I'll keep watching them, and post whether or not they are hermies, but right now, it looks like 5 true males from a F/F cross.


Go Figger!!!



Still and all, not a bad ratio. But to answer the question, not even the seed company will guarantee 100% females. They are "Feminized", not Female. You're paying for the better CHANCE at more females.

just get a timer for your lights, seal up your grow area for no light leaks and keep heat at a minimum and you will be fine. I've grown lots of feminised seeds and never had a hermie, in my personal experience they are not very common at all, others might argue though. my current grow is not feminised and ive pulled 3 males out of 8 plants, the rest are female, still though, its very sad when you have to pull a plant, he couldve been a beautifull female. I will grow only feminised seeds from now on.
