So what would you say the male to female ratio is?

well, as in most non-femlae seeds, we'd like to say 50/50 just to cover our ass :) But really, testing so far has shown usually 60-70% female. I'm one of those guys who swears you can change the sex of a seedling just by stress and what not... or that can cause more male ratio IMO...

They were just going into the end of the fifth week I believe, and yes, as the days get closer to harvest, she really starts to turn with the "season" so to speak... Remember fall walks with your momma...??? All the dark leaves, lots of cool "fall" colors? You will have distant memories come back to the front of your head... well, that may require smoking some GDP first... haha

Ken's GDP is the shit, I'm a little biased because i have known ken estes for awhile and he grows some bomb medicine, to bad he moved out of clearlake and down to So cal, any word on seeds or clones for the bay 11 sativa? he gave me some before they left and it was fire!

I was told that we were gonna have both kens kush and the bay 11, but it's looking like they are not ready yet. We want to ensure the highest standards when it comes to our products. We do not want any hate mail... So, just keep an eye on this thread, and attitude seeds, and you wont miss anything.
I love the BAY!! One of my favorite smokes now.

to be honest, 50-50 female to male ratio is actually on the poor side, 65-75% is more so so what you want to hear. Especially since one male can pollinate hundreds of females.

you can definitely change the sex with stress i have recently done it to 2 plants. (not hermied) SOAK seeds in hydroponic nute high strength for a day and feed nute high in P and K all the way to 2 weeks before flower then i ether A) stress plant, such as top and split main stalk or B) i change the nute schedule to a very High N nute. with any seeds i get around 80-90% female ratio... just thought i would throw this out there and i have only had 2 hermies and they where from bag seed and fem seed

lol from the shit ive read about them from fellow growers i would hope not! i have someone on RIU thats affiliated with riot seeds trying to send seeds my way and says his seed bank took a pounding from tga subcools seedbank that really hurt there rep and brought out such reviews all because of some words said to each other. idk i feel bad if thats the case, but people that know alot breeding and stabilization pointed out key things; one of them and the most important IMO is that riot seeds is a new seed bank, and being a new seed bank only in the game a couple of years; they claim to have legit strains that the people are suppose to buy and we expect what is said in the strain description period. there in the game for 2 years lets say but claim they have stable stains, which a good true breeder would tell anyone that it takes more then two years to completely to stablize a strain for it to breed true of what the description states. especially if your trying to get every seed IBL, it takes a long time.

Matt told me the exact same thing! Only, he left off the part about the exchange words. He tried kick it to me like Sub was just was hating on him! I took with a grain of salt. He tried to tell me that Sub was the reason for Riot Seeds getting the boot from Attitude. I've met a couple of guys that have been the growing game for only a couple of years but can breed their asses off. But, I think they're "POT PRODIGY" types.:clap:

:clap: yes. and im willing to bet those people you met are far from just pollen tossers out there trying o make a quick easy buck. lol i could do the same, just give me a handful of seeds. if riot seeds are good for anything, its having some genes and thats all.

Okay, even I have stated incorrect things on this question... FROM WHAT I HAVE GATHERED... It's an old indica strain (a skunk sister) that was given to Ken by the Indians. I believe it was then crossed to something, or the X'ing could have been done by the indians and he was given this "purple indica"
Other than that, people have said it's big bud X urkle, but that's not the case.

Glad everybody has their order or is on their way, that's exciting.
Anyone else have some major issues w/ their b-day promo?
