An end to my first grow, dissappointing

Well, today marks the end of my first "real" grow where I made it from vegetation into flowering. I don't really count all the seedlings dieing in the past...I'm pretty disappointed though but have learned a lot from my grow.
I didn't know squat about ph levels and nutrients so for 3/4 my grow I had around 8.5+ ph and I was giving the plants nutrients every watering(I know I know). I also had a mite infestation that really took a toll on the plants. I also started my grow with 1 crappy light(before many more) and the plants were really stretched out. Despite all that though, they survived and pushed through. I started flowering 2 weeks ago and today found out all 5 of my plants were males!! What is the coincidence of that? Every single one had little green sacks. So that ended my first grow. Was too much stress a possibility for the high male turn-out? I'm about to start my aerogarden grown after I finish my new box...hoping for better results with that.

Unstable genetics. I'm assuming it was bagseed? Good luck with your next grow.

That really sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. As for the reason, I couldn't give you a good answer. I think stress may have been a factor, but I'm leaning towards some REEEEAALLY bad luck.

5/5 sucks to hear bro

buy some seeds for your next grow, at least youll know what to do with your plants and have a set up already

I've just been kind of warrey about buying seeds...seems like a good way to get caught...no?

naw man even if they find the seeds in the mail the worst ive seen is them get taken. just dont have them sent to your grow house

buy the seeds on a pre-paid credit card(gift card)

good for you, keep growin! we all learned by failing, and it sounds like you got most it out of the way in one grow!

buy feminized seeds.

unless you are planning on breeding...there really isn't any reason not go the feminized route.
