Urgh.

A while ago I cracked 5 ATFs. Four germed - all male.

So I dropped 4 more ATF along with 4 SSDD. All germed. All four of the ATF are male. Two out of four SSDD are girls. I guess ATF was just not meant to be for me (yeah, I have got two more but it still bums me out). Or I'm just not living right. Never had that happen before.

I had that experience before. Wow that just sucks. But trust me, a breeder sells his beans hoping each customer finds a nice pheno or two, all boys doesn't fly. Send him a message with pics etc, you have to have pics to show you are not taking the piss. PM me and I will pass along his e-mail addy. B will sort you out. But pop those last two beans to see anyhow man...

That's a kind offer. In no way do I blame him. Probability and statistics. I've had a number of times where the coin flipped the other way. I only have three (males) left of the ATF. They were much slower to show than the SSDD. Keeping them around just in case I am wrong (I'm not) and because some friends make smoothies out of them and i just loaded them down with some. I'll let you know if I keep them around long enough to show their sex for photos. Yeah, those last two seeds won't go long before use. I'll have my fingers crossed on them.

But as always, the germ rate was great. 12-13.

Edit: those boys smelled wonderful.

Let me save you some reading chief.. Let plant veg a few weeks and then cut the top off.. You can thank me later lol

Don't get offended but I think you may have it wrong my friend. I thought the same thing for many years.
From my understanding, just topping after 3 or 4 weeks in veg will create new (2 and then 4 etc..) branches, but, this is very different than actual topping which has to be cut at the 1st or 2nd node before any alternating of nodes begins. This creates hormonal redistribution (within 24 hours) which causes 2 or 4 main colas to start. Any topping not done this way is nothing more than cutting back and creating a shorter, bushier plant, not 2 or 4 new main colas. This includes all normal side branching from each cola instead of just the center cola.
I won't write any more in here on topping but there is a great section under Uncle Ben's Topping Technique here on RIU. Recommended reading for sure
I will be posting pics soon
 
I used to pinch the top node but now i just pop it then fold
It over.. Theres no loss in plant and seems to recover much
Faster.

I didnt encounter high % of males with my atf but i have read
That stress can cause higher male % in fact i was wishing for
A good male to F-2 a bunch for future pheno hunts.

Yeah, I've read that too. No stress on these though. They are happy boys. other than now being overdue to an up-can that will never come.

Yesterday I was still hunting down preflowers to be sure of their sex. But today they all have well developed buds o balls. I know next to nothing about evaluating males and kind of lack the space to breed but it is tempting to try slinging some pollen on my goji.
 
And now that I re-examine one of my two SSDD girls - one seems to be a boy. It was iffy looking so I gave it the benefit of the doubt.

Can I really have just gone 1 for 13?! Dammit.
