I saw this in another thread and I'm really interested in discussing it. Dobbiegirl reports a 95% female rate from her seeds.

I don't understand it (I'm not a botanist) but another poster suggested it might be the estrogen.

Love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this. Here is Dobbiegirls post:


I have grown a while and get about 95% female plants. Of course I did resurch and this is what I have been doing it. I soak seeds in water with a half a birth contol pill, plant in containers with dirt but containers myst be deep at least 6 inches >>I use plastic water bottles. I keep them on dry side and cool temps. I use blue grow lights on seedlings . I harden off putting them outside in day time and in at night , plant June first some in deep planters ( I do this so I can force some early and bring them in and put them in the dark for 12 hours) the rest I plant straight into the ground in my garden as I live in Canada >>The home of who cares if you grow weed! I use a pop up thing for camping and cover the rest in August as we have short growing season. My planter plants are redy to harvest now. The garden ones are in flower and are between 8 and 12 feet tall. Out of 30 seeds I had 4 male plants. They are so robust I get heaps of bud off just one planter plant and I give away weed to friends who help me trim . No big deal as I have so much harvest, I trined one so far that was a planter plant and forced the firt of July, I didn't weight it but have 5 big jars curing from one plant. I feed oyygen Plus fish fert , eptson salts and a general flowering fert >> use ordinary water and rain water that falls.
Try again sorry about the boys >>> a good harvest and you'll forget about it

a birth control pill?? hmm that doesn't seem like it would have any effect on the genetics of a marijuana seed. could be a lucky lot of seeds maybe.. generally speaking the ratio between male and female in seeds is like 40% male / 60% female. i mean if for some reason 'the pill' actually does do something i'd be definitely down to give it a whirl.
