What are the odds? (6/7 are male)

Wasnt saying you were lying jyst its a common theme with early sexing which could or couldnt be what your doing i really dont know.

We need the three legged dog picture now too.


I hope you’re right but they haven’t produced pistils and look like round little balls. I’ll try to take photos later but don’t know why having 6 males out of 7 plants would be something to brag about, LOL. If I were inclined to make it up, I could just post 6 different photos of the same male preflower. So, I’m not sure how much good photo documentation will do if you’re inclined to believe I’d lie about something so retarded, LOL. I also own a crappy car and live in a double wide trailer, but I’m not gonna post pics to prove it! And I own a flea-ridden three-legged dog that shits all over the place, but you’re just gonna have to take my word on that one, too.
 
I just placed my first order with them. I'm hoping for a good experience Did they offer replacement seeds?
Nirvana generally is pretty good to work with. They did give me replacement seeds and I have gotten some good seeds from them since but I have only ordered feminized seeds after that experience. I will say that I did order some seeds back in March from Nirvana because they had a sale going on and I haven't received them. Pretty sure it's due to covid-19.

Thanks guys — I hope you are right, but it might be just my pictures are shitty. What I see with my eyes are very round protuberances. I figured the fact that one already shows pistils as indicating the others are male because they don’t, but I realize that may be presumptive...

Theres always that one girl at the party that takes her shirt off a little too early :lol:

Those pics show no sex at all @Mrs. Weedstein .
Those single fibers are node points only so its just too early to say.

Hard luck with id'ing 6 outta 7 as gents. But FYI
With an unbiased seeds, the chance of the first seed being female is 50%.
Of that 50%, 50% will be female after the second seed.
50% of 50% is 25% (‘of' means multiply together - remember BODMAS?).
50% of 25% is 12.5% - and so on. The probability of 6 seeds of unbiased lineage being all males/females will be 1.5625% so you were close!
Exactly the same odds for males as females... Fwiw
:p

They are too early and too weird, you see it often its just part of understanding the plant. If you wait im sure you will have other females.

Dont waste your hard work trying to judge early sex, pistils dont always show on the weird looking stuff but given time non weird stuff will show.

The odds are on my side and ive described the problem with noob early sexing and you have shown pictures of the most earliest earliest stuff possible like need magnifying glass to go any earlier.

But not every 1 and a 1/2 growers out of a hundred order seven seed and get six males. The chances of that seem lower, nature might have a better system than simple coin toss and why full male or female grows seem very uncommon.

I do think the male was involved in those odds. For example, some guys just throw X chromosomes in their sperm so it's nearly impossible for them to have a male child without science getting involved.

If a male cannabis plant had the same issue with tossing Y chromosomes then more of it's beans would end up as male than female because of the pollen not being 50/50.

Good breeders pick their males with a lot of selection criteria, potency, growth structure and tendency to throw X chromosomes among others...
