okay... okay... this thread can't possible live up to the hype in the title, but it made you look, right?

just thot i'd regurgitate some old school information in case the books i read back in the day actually had some useful information in them. Here's the Info Nugget:

say, on average you get 51% males and 49% females from a particular seed stock. apparently an experiment was done with the effect that starting in different size containers would have. Apparently when the tap root has less than 6 inches of vertical grow room it can (stress?) increase the percentage of males to 52% from the same seed stock.

I'm assuming, since it sounded rather scientific, that they used an adequate number of trials and samples, etc. such that this is valid.

Ya, one percent ain't much, but if GOD only gave you three seeds and you NEEDED a female... something to think about, i guess.

bananas . . .

hey its kool.... wounder if there are anyother ways to increase females....

Kinda disappointing. But 1% is 1%. 50 more little tips and you got 100% females.

increasing odds of female seeds

I have noticed a trend in growing, the more others I know do it, and gain experience, the more females come up per batch. I am a firm believer that you can affect the ratio greatly.

that 'increasing odds of female seeds' link is very nice, and it does also mention container size.

reminds me of those kamodo dragons or what have you... they had this solitary female in a zoo for like 13 years, then she gave birth to an identical clone daughter of herself in order to continue the propagation of her species.

i deffinitely beleive that environment can trigger certain defense type gender switches... but i don't quite buy the 90-95 percent thing. But hell, even 80 percent vs 30 would be great if ur doing everything right as compared to doing everything wrong.

link? gotta see this.

Saw in the news last week that a shark in captivity did that too. I believe it was the second shark in history recorded as having done this.
