identifying female seeds

[ZeldaG.]

A good portion of the fun of doing a grow is waiting to see which are male and which are female, at least it is for me!

yeah very fun to be growing a plant for 6 months and then finding out it is a male... lol i would say ''ahh who cares'' and call that optimistic but FUN!??

now thats just mad!!

do I have a better chance they will grow into females if grown in non stress conditions??

yes i think so. I would personally (of course all is according to space) grow at least 4 plants of course if you have loads of space i would go for filling that space up lol

sex is pre-determined for the most part. but stress it out and u can turn it hermie. these r all theories by the way.

Scarlet Sky -- are you saying abuse causes female?

I was told stressing a plant before it flowers increases the likely-hood of it being a male.

Do you think that's true?

Holla back -- peace

yeppers, feminized beans can, and often do turn out to be male. however, i don't use fem beans, just plain ol regular seeds. i have had 18 females in a row now, other than one supersilverhaze that i had to abuse the hell out of...

previous grow was 1/4 females...3 feminised blueberry beans and 3 females later...I'm a believer...I'll be using feminised for the rest of my life.

guys whats the fun if you planted 30 plants and all were females because you know they were.. i mean the coolest thing is that first 3 weeks where theres a slight mystery and creepy smell around the place and you think in the dark "hmm i wonder how many females show up". its not only growing pot but also having fun its like a game.. or its like that to me. but ofcourse there is people who get 20 males in a row and complain.. but i think those people should take more care of their plants maybe its because of that. ive gotten 5 fems out of 12 plants and im happy with it.

its not only growing pot but also having fun its like a game...

Hey whisky... YOU'RE a game!!! HAHA I dunno... I'm stoned...

If you have seeds you should plant them weather they're big or small... some hindu told me taking bad care of a plant increases the likely hood of it being a male so i think Whisky's right...

Perhaps you can label your pots w/ the description of the seed and see for yourself...

IE: "Small / Lopsided" or "Medium / Round" etc.

Then if you think you know how to identify the seeds... you plant all your seeds including the males n just keep the males in a diff. place to be safe... or just check on'em every day and throw'em away if they really are males...

But you should never hesitate to plant a seed unless you really can't afford soil/watering the plant.
