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

[chris42393]

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.

It's a fun way to go thru some old Bag Seed.

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.
