i have about 13 plants and recently put them in 12/12 and within 10 days pulled 4 males and have suspicions of more to come. i feel like so far i have a lot of males and i am wondering what the usual amount of a crop are males on average?

50/50 would be fair I think.
I planted 20 Lowrider 2 seeds and ended up with 11 Females and 9 males.
I received some free Durban Poison X Skunk no. 1 with them and so far I have 1 female
and 6 males with 3 undetermined as yet, which is a pretty poor result, not to mention a huge waste of money on power, soil mix and nutes etc.

Well out of the 7 i started, only 2 are female, with 2 still to show sex

sorry to hear that. during the dark period it has to be completely DARK.

any kind of light during the dark period can cause them to turn male or even hermie.

dont feel bad man...out of the 11 I planted this run only 3 were males...I feel your pain

my grow last grow i had 13 f 5 m...
this grow i went with feminized seeds, a bit pricer but worth it i think.. u dont have to waste space with the males and u save of soil nutes labour etc...

they say there are ways the try and get a better female ratio..
1. giving seedling tap rooth 5 inches to grow down
2. a slightly higher N in early life
3. lower temps in veg 19-22oc
4. 18/6 light period

these are russian studies uhhhhhhh

yeah bro....next run...clones all the way after I get my mothers

fair enough fair enough, i guess it is also beacuse males tend to show their true colors first, it still bothers me though, it just seems like time wasted, which is why im taking a couple cuttings from the females i do find. thanks everyone.

bag or bought seed?
