This. Of course some strains (like DJ Short's F13) are notorious for producing VERY few males (much to the chagrin of people that would like to use an F13 male for breeding), but in general, you'll get close to 50/50 with a large enough sample.

if there were some way growing conditions could change the ratio of males and females

But there is, I have posted about it in the past, so has Inverted.
The info is out there and has worked for me.
A total of 5 males in two years, with over 100 seeds popped.
Either the methods work, or I'm one lucky motherfucker.

The environmental factors that influence gender are: (These are claims by the Dutch Passion Seed Company)

    * a higher nitrogen concentration will give more females.
    * a higher potassium concentration will give more males.
    * a higher humidity will give more females.
    * a lower temperature will give more females.
    * more blue light will give more females.
    * Fewer hours of light will give more females.

From literature and our own findings it appears that the growth of a male or female plant from seed, except for the predisposition in the gender chromosomes, also depends on various environmental factors. The environmental factors that influence gender are:

• a higher nitrogen concentration will give more females.
• a higher potassium concentration will give more males.
• a higher humidity will give more females.
• a lower temperature will give more females.
• more blue light will give more females.
• Fewer hours of light will give more females.

It is important to start these changes at the three-pairs-of-leaves stage and continue for two or three weeks, before reverting to standard conditions.

Oh cool.  btw Magash, So you know, I wasn't calling you out on that, I was just curious, I talked to Tony at Dutch Passion, he sent me the same link lol

Re: quick question brother!

    Hi Ricky, http://www.dutch-passion.nl/en/grow-...minised-seeds/

    yes this is true according to our findings, but I would also say that these findings have been as a result of using input from growers at the top of their game with years and years of experience growing and breeding. If you take a less experienced grower and give them these conditions to 'follow' it may be difficult for them to categorically prove a connection as there may be other influencing factors that they are not aware of. For example, if a new grower is systematically over watering and overfeeding the plants...a common misake from rookies....then these findings may not hold to be as accurate.

    give the guys all my best, if any of them want to chat about stuff they can reigster here and start topics in my forum. If I had more time I could register on multiple websites to chat but I just lack the time, Tony
