noobie Q could use some help

So this is sorta my first and a half grow, been lurking here for about 9 months. first grow I only started 3 seedlings dont know why, one died and got 2 males. so I dont have any exp dealing with flowering

So this time 5 plants, all bagseed, vegged for 2 weeks, today is day 15 of 12/12, so far 2 plants showed male and i removed them, one at day 10 other day 14 of flower. Im pretty sure i see sacs on another one of the plants, but i dont want to pull it quite yet, just want to be sure


Wasnt gonna go into specs because didn't think it was needed for such a simple Q. maybe im just looking for someone to tell me that its okay and ill get females someday lol

So my Q finally is do females take longer to show sex? or does it vary, id like to hope that since ive already gotten 2 males, prob 3. i just keep hoping and keep seeing balls


Your thoughts are appreciated and possibly pics later, dont have the cord to hook up camera to pc

you should be seeing sex by now either way. if it shows signs of bals pull it and get rid of it. if not and you have a female in the bunch it can pick up pollen befor you even realize shes a female. try buying femmanized seeds or if unable to plant a shit ton so you get a few females withnyour males. youll get some man no worries =)

Ya will get some girls soon m8! I only use fem seeds to avoid the disappointment/time waste

thanks for comments, I would have gone fem but didnt have the cash when i started this op up. Im just worrying cuz they havent all shown yet.

i have a couple mothers i work off for the strains i like to grow regularly but when i want to throw a new one (or more) in the mix i buy fem seeds from nirvana and always get fems. dont settle on a small pack though or you might get a hermie or male. the way they create the fem seeds is by stressing a flowering female into hermie they then take the pollen from the hermie plant and use that to pollenate another flowering female of the same geno type and the resulting seeds are 99% female. so ther is always a slight chance of a male or hermie. if i want two plants ill get a 10 pack of seeds.

here's a chart to help you feel better about your luck:

female plant calculations
minimum number of females ...........number of unfeminized plants to get minimum # of females with >75% probability
1............................................................2
2............................................................5
3............................................................7
4............................................................10

and yes, females generally take longer to show sex.

thanks for all the good info guys , that chart did put me at ease a little, i guess all i can do now is wait.

Yes precisely what Nukulhedd said.
