My two plants that made it to 12/12 are males.
I'm really discouraged and don't want to put in more time for males.

Are FEMINIZED seeds 100%?
Anyone ever get males when ordered FEMINIZED?

p.s. I didn't grow feminized and got males, I grew regular seeds so it's expected. Don't want to invest in Feminized w/o research.

no mate, not all, higher percentage off hermies to, if you got time and room to grow regulars, then do that mate.

Nothing is 100% in growing. I see people say they are more prone to hermie but I hardly ever see testimonial of that and I have never seen a hermie yet. I guess when it comes to everyone yelling hermie is most are just repeating the last guy.

i have fully feminized seeds from nirvana and I think the genetics are just weak. My plants went hermie but I think my Ph being too acidic caused it by shocking them into males. Ill see if it continues to happen now that I have the soil/nutes all balanced well. If I still get hermies, I will toss out all my feminized genetics. I am already phasing them out. I strongly recommend growing germinating twice as many seeds as you want plant and "culling" the males. I have spent money on the feminized and feel like i have wasted 100 bucks and 3-4 months growing moms and clones, just to get buds with male parts.

I've grown about 10 different fem strains purchased from attitued seed bank... all were female... and all were good...

I have seen idiots screw up a known female clone and hermie it (which is how fem seeds are produced)... so it really has to do more with how bad your acid levels are... too much ph swing or low ph can cause it...
