ok people working from seed. is there any way to estimate your percentage of male to female plants you get? just trying to see if i should start a certain amount of plants to try and end up with around 10 female plants? done a couple grows with fem seeds but would like to try just regular for a cost savings.

on a purely statistical stance,, your chances of getting females vs males is 50%, but you should have better odds than that.. but to be on the safe side, i would plant and do try to plant double the amount of seeds that i hope to get females .. or you could always plant two seeds.. grown them for a bit, take a clone from them, flower the clones to see the sex, and than if one is a female, go back and use her as a mom and take a bunch of clones from her.. this way you are only using two seeds out of a pack to get as many females as you want instead of possibly using a ten pack to only get five girls if that makes any sense..
