How did I get 4 males from 5 Feminized seeds?

I'm growing A-TRAIN from TH SEEDS. I pulled one because it was a short plant and I only had room for 4. I hit 12/12 over a month ago and they didn't start showing anything until 3 1/2 weeks after the switch. I had Blue Hash and White widow show without problem. I was thinking that this was due to heat stress, but I did not see a SINGLE pistil. Any thoughts on how I got 4 males from feminized seeds?
I'm using a 400w HPS and FFOF and tiger bloom.

PEACE

TH usually has great quality seeds. Where did you order them through? 4 out of 5 is a little more than accidental.
I got them from The Attitude. I've haven't had that rate of males from regular seeds in 3 years. The Blue Hash freebie is a FEM seed too, but it's doing the best. The plants aren't root bound and they aren't showing any signs of heat stress.

"feminized" is a chemical treatment that only raises the odds of having fems, chances are even more likely for hermies.let them go to seed and quit buying chemical treated seeds

I'm well aware of the concept of "feminized" seeds. I'm just wondering why I don't have ANY females from this strain only.

The reason it turned male, to my knowledge, would be the Arcata e-32 Trainwreck in its genetics. it takes the Mazar I Sharif male and the kind of slow, kind of bisexual arcata e-32 cutting. that would be my only thoughts.

My only source is from subcool's chernobyl description. he did not want to use the arcata e-32 cutting, he chose different than THseeds. have a read


Sex : Regular
Type : Mostly sativa Flowering : Photoperiod Genetics : Trainwreck X Trinity X Jack the Ripper Flowering Time : Medium, Long Outdoor Harvest : Sept / Oct Height : Tall THC Level : High Characteristics : Good for pain relief & muscle tremors Trainwreck X Trinity X Jack the Ripper
When I came out west I started on a Quest for the best Trainwreck cutting I could find. I was not impressed with the Arcata cutting as it was to tall to slow and to bi-sexual for my taste. I had written off this legendary strain until I came across an amazing plant discovered by Smokescreen. Found inside a bag of Dank of the few seeds found one female exhibited all the traits of the famous wreck without producing a single male stamen even late into budding. The complex late coloring is a thing of beauty and the potency of this mother is epic. Extremly potent smoking just a few bowls is an adventure in repertory failure and flat lining your brain waves. We decided to combine this incredible female with the genetics of Jack the Ripper.

1. Phenotypes – Fast growing plants that form multiple towers of buds
2. Height- Tall
3. Yield- Medium
4. Indoor/ Outdoor Does well indoors and gets tremendous outdoors
5. Best way to grow- Topped early and trained to stay as low as possible
6. Harvest Window_ 8-9 weeks
7. Sativa/ Indica 60/40
8. Hybrid- Train Wreck X Trinity X Jacks Cleaner X Space Queen
9. High type- Strong and pleasant very good for pain relief without paranoia
Taste Like: Lime Slurpee or Sherbert

So maybe next time have a look into your genetics, sorry that happened. it would suck, all that time and effort.

Fem seeds make no sense to me at all.

They are about the same price as reg seed but they give you half as much.

Okay....

so instead of buying 5 fem's, you could get 10 reg. Now odds are about 50/50 on the sex split so you will get probably at least 5 fem's from the 10 seeds. It's the same thing, except you still have the potential to get more fem's from the remaining five.

You never know how it's going to turn out. I put 20 up at one time this year and 18 were fem's.

Just buy the regular and hope for more than 50% fem....
