Exactly my experience with gps. Thank you for posting, now I am not the odd-duck out. I think he is pushing his plants too hard, because they either don't germ, die shortly after, or are mostly male. All these are signs of old males and females over pollinated by one male so they make all males to even out the population. Also some seeds are so small they cannot be seen without magnification, which is a sign of weak overworked females. His photo contest is also a complete joke and rigged from the start. Gu has no ethics and thinks everyone is stupid or something.
