I always go for aromatics and the high. Yield is secondary to me, quality #1.
If you're really hoping for female seeds, Dutch Passion suggests that:
"From literature and our own findings it appears that the growth of a male or female plant from seed, except for the predisposition in the gender chromosomes, also depends on various environmental factors. The environmental factors that influence gender are:
• a higher nitrogen concentration will give more females.
• a higher potassium concentration will give more males.
• a higher humidity will give more females.
• a lower temperature will give more females.
• more blue light will give more females.
• Fewer hours of light will give more females.
It is important to start these changes at the three-pairs-of-leaves stage and continue for two or three weeks, before reverting to standard conditions."
I have not done enough personal research to really say if this works or not. I do use high N soil under blue LEDs for veg and have a great female rate though.
