So what do you guys think..

Thanks to a cool dude I know I have Bodhis A11 goin right now.

Should I run the Bodhi-

Aeric 77 Cali O x Yo Mama
A13 x A11 or
Fantasy Island

Undecided... & it's a hard choice.
Since you're already running A11, myvote is for the super-frosty, orange delight, Cali O Mama. But that is a hard choice. The fantasy island sounds pretty awesome too.

last round my veg timer broke and i put off buying one and ran 24/0 and my temps were running about 76- 79 out of ten agent orange i got three females, this round i popped eight qwerkle , eight sun maiden and five plushberry which just started showing sex this week and i already have eleven confirmed females four confirmed males and 6 that still havnt shown preflowers i know that cant prove too much but i did get a much better ratio of females under my t5 with temps around 72- 74 and an 18/6 schedule

plants like the dark, anyone running a no dark or super small dark schedule isn't offering their plants the best. the build at night, the spend the energy the slept with at night.

if plants are stressed they make more males because the air carries male pollen, offern them the chance to leave the stressful area..

stress in early life = males

stress in flower = hermie


good eye meng!

Theres info to support both sides in many cannabis growing forums such as pointed end up or down when planting, sex is determined when seed is formed or you can manipulate it, no dark period or 4-6 hours dark, etc, etc, etc.

I look to nature for answers when possible so I think they need a dark period and I dont think you can manipulate sex.

Lousy weather or crazy weather during early/late spring such as cold temps and many cloudy days might cause most seeds to be one sex. Two bad springs in a row could wipe out any species that did this

If it was true then breeders/growers would have figured it out by now.

people use CS all the time to manipulate sex.

bad weather will destroy crops, concescutive years of bad weather will permenatly damage species.. fires in yellowstone permanetly reduce certain tree populations..

darwin suggests that, consecutive bad season's would force these plants to move or adapt, the males would help them move, the phenos would help them adapt.

so in essence yes, consecutive bad seasons would destroy a certain type; they would move via pollen flight or only select pheno's would survive and propagate, selecting out the pheno's that can't take the changed environement..

I agree there is still a lot of mystery in the plant world, but i would disagree that we can't manipulate their growth patterns..

Bad weather should trigger the production of more females, not less. Because one male can pollinate many females creating many more seeds next year to ensure survival.

However one fem and many males will produce a minimum amount of seeds ensuring that the plant will have trouble surviving.

Mohan ram said you could fem seeds with 2 -3 weeks exposure to banana peel ethelyne.

A Friend reported 9 of 11 fems in his current run.
18 0f 21 fems last yrs run.

I need to try it more..

A femd seeds sex is determined prior to soaking, planting, or growing. Why wouldn't a reg seeds? In what other plant or animal is sex determined AFTER. Birth? Ok I've hear some aquatic animals can change sex, but that's more of an exception than a rule.......... I don't believe sex is influencable post birth (birth being pollination). All those little "tricks", are just a few of the many things stoners can think up to catch your interest

One thing is for sure. I dont know anything for sure.
It seems that you can change a male to a female by doing things that Cerberus and Scar have suggested.

I just do not believe you can "make more fems" in your veg room with temps or stress or more/less light having anything to do with it.

And thats about as far as my paygrade allows me to percieve. :peace:
