there is no Techniques to get more females its a male or a female from seed just dont show it untill they flower unless u stress it and make it hermie

Well I don't know if this is a technique to get more females but its a technique to not get hermies... Use 18/6 for a long time and don't fuck with the light by taking them in and out and in and out of the light.

i remember reading something in "Cannabis: A History" by martin booth about lower pH favouring female development, also the less stress put on the plant ("fucking with the lights" as kannabitch puts it) the better. oh and higher potassium levels in the soil would favour males and higher phosphorous would favour females.
bear in mind i read the book two years ago and it wasn't a grow guide but treated cannabis in a much wider perspective, this information was in the paragraph or so dedicated to its genetics before the many chapters of the socio-political role that the "Fragrant Cane" has played in our culturally diverse world.
i.e. might be bollocks, can't know.

o ther's meney techniques
heres some i've heard
-be shure the roots grow straight down
-a banana laying close to it
-go shoping with it (WARNING it may make u female to)
-and ofcourse the oprah technique, it's probably the most efficient one, i have had 100% success with it

Somethings that I have read are
Higher Nitrogen
Higher Humidity
Lower Temperature
More blue light
fewer hours of light
I have not tried any of this, it's just some stuff that I read, I can't even recall where other than here on the interweb......

Whats the bannana thing? Just a peel? Can you apply this to a smaller seedling or is that too late?
Really? Is that so? I guess all that stuff about pre-disposition of sex and the effect of the seeds' environment during the early stages of life is just all a bunch of Bullshit! There, you see - that was sarcasm. Straight up!
It never ceases to amaze me that ignorant people don't have the common sense to avoid imbarassing themselves - by simply keeping thier fucking mouths closed. This kind of misinformation just perpetuates ignorance.
You are wrong, sir.u cant make a female to a male and the other way when its a grown plant so why would it be possible to change that when its a seed
the gender is in the genetics and cant realy be changed
correct me if im wrong

Im curious to know since I am using Lowryder Hybrids...they get 20 hrs of light and need higher humidity and temp to facilitate good root growth and keep them healthy like most seedlings but then they have no veg stage to speak of so...hmm. guess that my situation really is the luck of the draw

there is oprah on back to back saturdays...ill try that this weekend..haha. thats a good one
Cannabis seeds, like a lot of other seeds and human embroyos, have all the "basic plumbing" built in. That is to say that they can go either way - boy or girl - once a "sexual choice" has been determined. A good analogy would be a human embroyo (please forgive me if my terminology is a bit faulty, it's been many moons since I was in school!). Anyway, the point is that in the early stages of developement a human embroyo has a simple, basic, asexual organ (structure) called a gonad , or gonads. At some point these gonads reach a "turning point" in their developement - some will turn into testis and be born as boys, while some will turn into overies and be born as girls. Cannabis works the same way!
Pot seeds are "Pre-disposed" to be either male or female at about 50% vs. 50% - what this means is that about half will "probably" be male, while the other half will "probably" be female (that is, under "normal" growing conditions!).
DON'T GET PRE-DISPOSED CONFUSED WITH "CHISLED IN STONE".
A "Pre-disposed" male seed will "probably" turn into a male plant, under normal conditions - the operative words here are: probably and normal conditions. To make a long story short - all you have to do is manipulate the growing conditions (a little bit) and you can effect the theorhetical 50-50 ratio of males to females.
The following is something I Cut & Pasted from Meangreen @ hipforums (my old stomping grounds).
INCREASING YOUR CHANCES OF FEMALES
A well maintained grow room with plants growing in optimal conditions will naturally produce more females than males. There are some other things you can do to increase your odds of improving your male to female ratio. These are as follows:
High nitrogen levels in vegetative growth have shown to produce more females than males. This might be a good to reason to use feeds with a higher l\l to P and K ratio rather than foods with an equal N to P and K ratio. Remember though that plant burn will only lead to stress and this will produce more males and hermaphrodites than females.
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif] High potassium levels in vegetative growth and flowering tends to produce more males than females. Keeping your potassium levels down is another good reason to choose a food with a higher N than P and K ratio where the P and K ratios are even, or where the K ratio is kept lower than P. Remember though that lack of K can cause plant stress due to this nutrient deficiency and this can cause more males and hermaphrodites to appear than females.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif] Cannabis plants grow best under conditions of between 40 and 80 percent relative humidity (rH). In the higher rH range of between 70 and 80 your female to male ratio may increase.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif] Cannabis plants grow best at 75 degrees Fahrenheit. If you do not allow the temperatures to increase beyond this you will improve your chances at getting more females than males. If the environment is supplemented with C02 the temperature may be allowed to increase as far as 95 degrees Fahrenheit.[/FONT]

Some of this stuff may seem a little out of date, but I standby the notion that environmental factors can, and do, influence the ultimate sexual expression of a seed - at least as much as "Pre-disposition"!
Some of you may have other opinions (and you are welcome to them). But opinions without proper research is just a "popularity contest". I don't know about you, but I've known some really popular people that were "dumb as a bag of hammers"!
