decrease the chance of having all males using math

[SecondNut]

ok my head hurts after reading that.... math sucks!..I think you're better off just :jointsmile: and hoping you get females. I'm not so sure it would work that way.... more seeds better odds ide say, but prolly depends on genetics and treatment to the plant and how sensitive the strain to stress etc..

...or you could just double-cross your fingers, spin three times, and tap your heels. :wtf:

I was trying to quantify what you refer to as "more seeds better odds". Of course if you buy feminized seeds you have a much higher chance of getting all females. And there are environmental factors as well, which I mentioned, but which are very hard to control.

But what you can control is how many seedlings you start with. And you can figure out how much each added seedling will affect your odds, everything else being equal.

Anyway, that was the point of my post. :rasta:

So you plant 3 seedlings instead of 2 hoping to increase your chances of having 2 females. Common sense, right? But by how much exactly did you increase your chances? If you only have 2 seedlings, assuming you don't have feminized seeds and ignoring environmental factors which might affect sex, you've only got a 1-in-4 chance (25%) that both are female. But there's also a 1-in-4 chance that both are males. There's a Rating: 5
