I've done several grows in the last few years and had remarkable luck in picking the right seeds which are female. No kidding, out of about 30 plants I grew in the last 5 or so years only 4 of them turned out male, all the rest were females. I got some seeds out of this last grow to save for later. But being the curious type, I wanted to see what kind of off spring my hard work produced so I grabbed one of the seeds and germinated it. It's now day 70 of it's grow and I've confirmed it too is female. Hooray! I was curious how that percentage is with other growers. Not against what the books on genetics say the odds are, but what other growers are actually seeing in their seed efforts.
BTW I should add that the original seeds I ordered which all these other seeds are descended from were called "feminized". And out of that order of 8 seeds, six of them did turn out female. So am I on a lucky streak or do the original feminzed seed pass their traits on for many generations because this last seed is the 3rd generation for the strains I'm producing.
