how do breeders no there seeds are female?

[mickymouse]

just out of interest could any 1 explain how breeders can promises there seeds are 100% female? iv learnt how to breed them but my quest goes on lol thanks

They actually can't be 100% female. They can have a very high predisposition to being female but the odd male (not hermie) does still occur.

whiteflour speaks the truth... I had feminized white widow turn up pure male... it is freaky but it happens.

when it happens, its a blessing, because then you can breed a plant and save mega $$.

pretty much they can be male.. no seed is a forsure female only way for that is clones

no... getting a male in a feminized batch is pretty rare (when dealing with reputable breeders, anyways)
you might get 100 fem'd seeds, and be lucky if one was a male.

Yea I'm not sure what the ratio is. But I've had one OG Kush go male out of maybe 20 fem seeds from different breeders. My last batch of 30 regs had 7 males. Definitely not scientific but the female ratio seems to be justifiable at less than 5% male vs 23%.
