I put my 6 into flowering about a week ago, so far I have 3 females, 2 I think are females and 1 I hope is a male. Treat 'em right and they will be nice back to you and be female :-D

my current grow, i had 11 plants to start, and ended up with only five females.. i think i read, and i'm starting to believe it, that fewer hours of light in early veg will give you more females.. i was being lazy, and didn't have my t5 plugged into my timer for the first couple of weeks, and was giving them 24 hours of light, and like i said, i had terrible ratio of males / females this run...
i know in jorge cervante's book, the grow bible, he has like one page devoted to how to get more females than males, and he mentions the less hours of light thing in there for one tip for more females than males, and i never paid much attention to it till this grow, so i'm starting to buy into that one..
i think another one of the tips was higher amounts of nitrogen will get more chics as well if i remember right.. there is also some stuff about temps and humidity levels and females, but i don't recall what they are atm, and don't want to give out bogus info, so if you want to know what it said, check out his book.. i'm sure you can find that info if you google his book and females to males ratio and some good combo of words and you should be able to find the page i'm talking about...

i've also heard that less light will lead to more females.
