Not sure if it was the company i purchased these froms fault, can the plant become male through stress?

Also anyone reccomend any companies that sell fem seeds that are totally reliable

You still have a chance of getting males with feminized seeds.

Feminized seeds are not actually 100% female.

It usually runs about 90-95% but hey it is better than a 50-50 shot when you buy un- feminized. What you have is still a high ratio of male to female. Might be the company, some seed banks charge like double for feminized seeds.

I would just not order from them again.

they are pretty tangled around the spreader mat, don't think it can be done
i have so much more space now though with 6 weeks of flowering still to go I'm confident I can get a good yield from these now
