Am I Doing Something Wrong?

So far I have only been able to get males from the seeds ive been starting. 6 of 6 all males....

Setup is 6 CLFs about 230 watts alltogether 2 65w 2700k 2 26w 2700k and 2 26w 6500k

Very vigilant about adjusting the light height every day to keep it in that "sweet spot" everyone on the cfl forums talk about.

All the babies always look extremely healthy and happy, but once i put them into flowering they all drop sacks.

Do I just have terrible luck or is there something very wrong?

you either have the worst luck on the planet (there is a 98% chance of getting only one female out of 6 plants) or you are not sexing right.

Tell us about your seeds. I have a buddy that refuses to listen to me. He keeps reusing the same hermie seeds thinking he's not gonna get a hermie.

Yeah tell us some more about your environment.......but damn that does sound like the worst luck I have ever heard!!!!! 6out of 6?? DAMN!!!!!

Just curious on your choice of lights....I use CFLs and was wondering are you trying to grow all 6 under that many lights?? if so maybe thats why.....You would need more lights than that for six plants and I believe that male plants are the "stronger" of the two and might be going to male to try and survive........ just my 2 cents maybe I am way off though....

Better Luck my friend

2 sets of 3 actually, first batch of 3 were screaming male, not a white hair anywhere on them, plenty of sacks tho. Don't have enough room for more than that at one time. So im fairly certain they have enough light.

As far as the seeds go...as this is the first time ive setup a grow I havent invested in ordering feminized seeds from a seed bank, just collected them from the occasional sack of super bomb. I suppose now that its all set up and Ive got the lights I should.

sex of plants can be influenced by temps, colour of light and hi nitrogen helps produce more females.
