Wow great post! Thank you so much. I have never came across that info! Now will this same apply to clones?Here's the Page
Grow more Females From Seed.
Environmental factors start influencing sex the moment the seedling has three pairs of True leaves ( not counting cotyledons).
Environmental factors that influence sex determination of cannabis include but not limited to:
Increasing the level of nitrogen makes more females plants. Lower the nitrogen level to create more male plants. Increase the level of potassium to increase the male tendencies. lowering the potassium level encourages female plants. A higher nitrogen level and lower potassium level for the first two weeks increases females.
Low temps increase the numbers of female plants. Warm temps Make more male plants.
High humidity increases the male plants.
Low Growing-medium moisture increases Males.
More blue light increases the number of female plants. More Red light increases male tendencies.
Fewer hours or daylight (e.g. 14 hours) increases the number of females. Longer days (e.g. 18 hours) make more male plants
Stress: any environmental stress tends to yield more male plants when growing from seed.
I hope that helps somewhat.
This comes out of the Marijuana Horticulture the indoor/outdoor Medical Grower's bible.

I tried Coco once I wasn't happy with how much I have to add all the time. I don't know if it's easier for you or not, But I been Using Pro Mix HP for years and have been extremely happy with it.I'm growing in coco. You think soil is easier?

You should do a journal. I started my first one a while ago and it's cool seeing all the old pics, they're so huge now. Mainly it allows invested followers to want to help you succeed that much more. Good luck. Soil is muuuuuch easier if you get the good soil. Fox farms ocean forest. You won't need to add liquid ferts until the end, unless you have a large pot like me. Then you'll be good all the way. All you'll have to do is train and bend. https://support.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/t/wannabes-first-indoor-grow-journal/37128/73 is one of my journals. I creep on a lot of forumsThank you so much Bear! I do appreciate you reaching out to help me. I will be heading to amazon for a new book!
I started growing last March, with no knowledge on the plant. I spent lots of time online doing research. I came far but still lots more to go. I dont have anyone for hands on visuals so it gets very tricky.
Thank you again!

Cool, tag me in it. I'll follow for sure. They say Coco and hydro is a bit faster, but soil is easiest and same of not better quality. I'll maybe try Coco or hydro one day. Maybe not. I ordered mine from The Attitude, took about 3weeks to arrive.Oh I defenitly keep track of everything , everyday! I have to, memory is crap. LOL I have done one online but didnt have much help. I am going to think about the soil. Nutrients are a pain!
I'm almost at week 5 of this grow. I'm pretty sure I'm going kill these off afterwards. Sucks but find seeds at harvest is worse. We ordered new seeds and hopefully they come in soon. Once we start them I will be starting a new journal here. I'm excited!
Soil is the easiest. Nearly:I'm growing in coco. You think soil is easier?
