In the last four seed buys I've done, I've been extraordinarily lucky. Every plant has been female. With bagseed, you can never tell what you're going to get.

sometimes those things happen. i have read that the ratio of male to female is around 50/50. i have also read where people have gotten 9 females out of a pack of 10 beans. i also read another where the person only got 2 feamles out of 10 beans. are you sure 8 out of 10 are male?

yeah dude you might have to show some pictures because right before the hairs pop out there are little bulbs that may present there selves to look like seedsacs until the little hairs start popping out in a few days . so look real close or show us some pic or better yet you dont have much to lose so give it a few more days .

hey gone,

thats a drag man, i only have two plants now and man i hope at least one is a female!

so i also believe in the 50/50 rule, but that you can taint it with consistantly improper grow conditions and stress, that can cause would-be females to turn hermi or male :( but a lot of this is in theory and research, so if you supported it that would be great... in that weird way...

i have an awesome document on how to optimize your female ratio. its great to pick at while your ripped or need something to draw you away from babbying your ladies :lol: but its 5 pages, at 36kb while the attachment limit is 19.5 - if anybody knows loop holes or what to do with the msdoc, let me know :)
