well, i was looking at the plants some last night, trying to sex them and what not, and out of five, i think only one looks like a dude, one of the two sour hazy jones... i can't believe it honestly as last time i had like 6 out of ten be males, and this time i had much better results..
i know that i read in the grow bible that one way to get more girls was to give them less hours of light in veg in the first couple of weeks, so i did that this time, and i am actually starting to believe there maybe some truth to this theory as last time i gave them 24 hours of light, and got way more males then females.. not sure if i'm sold yet, but i'm about 80% sure, lol... :)

hey skunk, have you ever done any sort of experimenting with light times in early veg and sex of plants on your own??
i know that you can't believe everything that you read in a book, and especially not a jorge cervante's book to boot, but i'm really interested in learning how to get more females from seed for obvious reasons, and the whole less light theory really has my wondering, especially after getting the results i did with this grow..

Could've sworn high humidity and high N in Veg starting early, was a good way to promote females also. Glad to see you got more gals this time around. I'm interested in this light theory, as my ratio of females/males has always been decent with different periods of light. So if there is any truth/scientific explanation behind that theory I'd be very interested to know.

I'm still not sold on it all tbh mate and personally think it's "growers superstition" myself really.
I run my veg closet lights 17 on and 7 off (blue spec), add in extra N in with the first feeding with nutes and keep the temp's pretty warm too as my veg cab is built into my flowering room so it's well insulated heat wise. And I still pull a 50:50 ratio male/female each way with regs...
I've been running this room/set up here for 2 years now too (24/7 constant flower room) and still my luck is the same mate lol.
Also my flower room light cycle isn't running at 12/12 either, but 11 on and 13 off, just how I've always been doin it really and it has pulled great results too, but overall plants sex from reg seeds will always be a 50/50 shot. Just my opinion from my own exp' with trying it though mate, and tbh I only keep the light cycles goin on as it's an hour cheaper on the electric bill lol.
