Im devastated

I am on day 4 of flowering of my first grow. Already I believe I have 6 confirmed males out of 8 plants. And one of the remaining two is looking suspect as well. How could this have happened? I assumed I would get at least three females...This sucks.

Did you have a pack of ten seeds or eight? If it was a pack of ten its possible your other two seeds are female

Coulda been your ph, that has a lot to do with the sex of a plant. Hopefully you were checking it. Good luck with the other 2.

Sometimes that'll happen. Sorry to hear about your misfortune.

pics would help, just to be sure i would take some pics if you do have males i would separate them and grow them out and make hash, best of luck on ur next grow, i guess we can't win em all.

yes agreed,pics indeed

sorry about your luck

Yeah I checked PH constantly. It was a 10 pack of seeds, two of which never sprouted. This blows...can females ever have preflowers that stand up or is that only males? If they can't then yeah this is a bummer man.

you know your not seein the up side,theres one thing u forgot that you can do and its

A Clone Army

make clones of the females than u will have tons of girls

DAMNIT! I'm so pissed...

I think I'll just make green dragon out of all the male leaves.

Since its your first grow. Are ya sure what the sexes look like? I hope you are wrong. LOL

I would love it if I was but I've done a lot of research. I would love to be wrong, but I fear I am not. Oh well. I'll know for sure by the weekend.

Hey now... wait a minute... I wasn't talking shit...... I simply pointed out something you posted that is incorrect and I asked where you got the
idea that PH affects the gender of a plant. It's a valid question. No need to fly me the finger.

Whatever... PH does not affect the gender of a plant.... and I still don't know where you got that idea.

She is wondering where you have heard that the pH will affect the sex... I'm wondering where you have heard this also... You are the one that is shit talking. I understand you were trying to help too, but I sure have never heard of pH affecting the sex of a plant, just it's nutrient uptake.

Well I apologize, I thought you were being a smart ass. Yes indeed it does affect a plant... I know Ive read it on here some where but I can find a link regarding it Im sure if I search.
The plants whole entire environment has to do with the sex of a plant.
You are not going to get a female plant if the ph is effed up the whole time I guarantee that. Even if its a fem seed, it will herm.
