If I purchased one hundred feminized seeds from a reputable distributor, what percentage of the plants (that got to the stage of showing sex characteristics) would be female? Roughly speaking, of course.

Better than 50%?

Probably less than 10% male. I've had one male out of about 20 random fem seeds.

Me, too: I just stare at myself in the mirror. But seriously folks, about a 90% success rate? Is that a valid consensus?

Absoloutely it is!! I have grown about 35 fem seeds from maybe 10+ breeders and I have had 0 males and 1 hermie. I baby my plants and they treat me well back. They are called fem seeds because they make fem plants so why is 9/10 so unbelievable?

People, you have been extraordinarily helpful and I appreciate it. If I can achieve the peace of mind, not to mention the effective use of space, it seems worth the extra bucks. Would anyone here know are they feminized hormonally?
