nope.

But some seed banks sell feminized seeds in witch the plant will be(duh!)female.But ofcourse these are about three times the price of regular Mj seeds.In my opinion its worth it. ;-)

In a single pack of feminized seeds a grower CAN produce:

Females.:weed:
Hermaphrodites.:wall:
Males.:wall:


There is no way to tell a male seed from a female seed. All seeds on the market claiming to be 'all female' or '100% female' are actually feminised seeds. Feminised seeds are, by definition, NOT 100% female. :leaf:

This is because they are created using at least one hermaphrodite parent plant. A hermaphrodite is a plant with both male and female reproductive parts, almost always starting out as a female and, later, growing male parts. Therefore, any seed resulting from the union of a female and a hermaphrodite must inherit the hermaphrodite tendency. :leaf:

In practice, this means that while most or all plants grown from feminised seeds may appear female once flowering has been induced, they may, at any point in their lives, produce male flowers. If this happens near the end of a harvest, it can ruin an entire crop.
:wall:
With natural seeds, you only have to remove the males at the beginning of the flowering period. With feminised seeds you may have to keep watch for the entire flowering cycle. :|

Furthermore, since stress is one of the main factors responsible for triggering hermaphrodism, feminised seeds do not make ideal mother-plants. Every time you cut potential clones from a feminised mother, you run the risk of it turning hermaphrodite. :cuss:

cheapest but not the best not by a long shot I'd say best light for you would be 400 or 600w hps (high pressure sodium) you can use these thruout the whole grow both vegging and budding and they work really well

Growing cannabis is not hard to do, it is getting the conditions right so the tempstays at the same and only drops a little at night.the fans are ther to give fresh air in what would be a stagnent area with all the heat created by the lights.consantrate more on your grow room while the seeds are germanating then by the time the plant are ready to be cloned you will have everything ready if you don't spend more time on the grow area at this stage u will end up with all kind of problems.i would use a liquid form of feed and by doing this it is far easyer to make sure that you have the right ammount,but start on a low dose first then build up to a larger dose.while you are germanateing the seeds spay them with superthrive and only feed them this once they have just sprouted and you have planted.get some rockwool cubes and put the seeds a couple say 4 mm below the surface.by then you should have got a small area sorted not the main room just a cloneing and a area for bringing on seeds if this is built 1 mtr square all way around you will be able to keep mother plant in there too.all you need for this lighting wise is 2 4 ft flouresnts these will hang on chains so you can have the ince's of the plants and i have also wall mounted 2 cfl's at each side of the room a small fan and you are growing this kicks out some light,but won't cost alot of money most of the lighting is low energy i i have callcalated 13pence a day you could flower here too till you get a decent g#room but you will need a decent exaust fan and a fan in the room it self.then lighting it is up too you but buy h.p.s there alot better some folk will dissagree but i have tried both and realy there is no compatition start with what you can afford a 250 watt light can give you some nice buds.hope this helped keep green peace.Along time ago you had the worry of female and male plants but now femanised seeds are very good.
