yes they were and i also had 10 mango wich only two sprouted and turned to be male, like i said i sprayed it with the feminizer and penetrator right when i put it in the flowering side and then 9 days later and they still turned male and one of the bluberrys turned herm. im not saying anything bad about the product im just saying it didnt seem to work out for me very well. im using a product called liquid light from dutchmasters they say it supposed to double or triple your yeild due to spectrum increase.....we'll see.
