Percentage chance of getting a male with a "regular" seed?

Hello all! What is the percentage chance of getting a male plant from a "regular" seed? Or should i just get a feminized one and not even waste my time?

Thanks,
Chris

usually its 50/50 or 60/40

for example a pack of ten might give you 4 to 6 males

About 50/50 lol I planted about 5 "regular seeds" my first grow and came out with 2 females

A 10 pack could be all males. Depends on how they all get mixed around. Nature's way of balancing things says it should be 50/50, but that's not always what we get. You could end up with a 10 pack of females for that matter.

Feminized seeds + colidal silver = free feminized seeds forever...

Some say 50/50. I think its more like 70% chance female and 30% male. There is no need for that many males.

I get that in theory it should be 50/50 but it hasn't for me. I average about 70% female out of reg beans.

That's average though. I've planted 10 before and get 10 males. It happens.

99%

without any outside influences, its a 50-50 chance. i kind of agree with WBB, it actually turns out to be about 70% females, just because thats the way nature works, one male can pollinate a whole crop, why produce a load of useless males.
but as far as you getting a certain percentage out of a pack of seeds? way too many variables to predict, you're back to 50-50

I found that not to be very accurate.

Then again I do inspect seeds and maybe that's why I get a higher ratio than 50:50.

this is said to be decided by the environment that the donor parents were growing in and their health status at the time of fertilization.

I grow bag seed quite often. I grow them all. Sometimes a good male is found.
