sux dog.. what kinda seeds were you growing from? bagseeds or "mystery" seeds could have weaker genetics versus those ones grown by a breeder.

But dont get down on ur self, it sounds like U ran into a little bad luck, keep trying and when U get a mother Im pretty sure you'll clone her and keep her nice and strong.

To avoid this couldnt U flower a little earlier (around day 28-35) and when preflowers show get rid of the males, or just take clones from each plant early on, flower them, then weed out the males?...

hopefully you'll get this straightened out.

Dude, I have this info for you, I hope it helps for your next grow.

From literature and our own findings it appears that the growth of a male or female plant from seed, except for the predisposition in the gender chromosomes, also depends on various environmental factors. The environmental factors that influence gender are:
* a higher nitrogen concentration will give more females.
* a higher potassium concentration will give more males.
* a higher humidity will give more females.
* a lower temperature will give more females.
* more blue light will give more females.
* Fewer hours of light will give more females.
It is important to start these changes at the three-pairs-of-leaves stage and continue for two or three weeks, before reverting to standard conditions.

its is possible that you got all males thats karma for the times i got mostly fems but if you could put some pictures up it would be great because at first look in the early stages the calyx could be confused for a testee they look similar but make sure to check for the white v.
