Lol. Tried their organic junk for veggies before and it was shit. Best to stick with the tried tested and true products as mentioned earlier. BX hp or cc
Could be just hp bagged different for box stores and price jack

I agree. But it's too late for the OP to go back now... Maybe add some good compost on top as a mulch and mix a bit in too..
Could help.

There are multiple influence factors that people have written about but all of them imo are meant to merely improve your chances. And many if not all techniques seem to relate to reducing the amount of stress on tiny plants. No magic tricks for all female plants though.
Cannabis is dioecious and uses the XY sex chromosome system, just like humans. The sex is determined by whether the haploid pollen has an X or Y chromosome and is already set in the seed at fertilization. That is why "fem" seeds that are all female are a possibility. All those people saying you can influence the sex with environmental factors are full of shit.

You're the one spreading the misinfo here, not them.
Your posting here is the only opinionated misinformation here. Saying someone is full of shit doesn't seem to make it true..

Surely you know environmental factors influence hermies. Using words like 'chromosome' and 'diocious' may make you seem like you grow it green to a noob but yeh.. Not fooling me.

Take it easy will ya?

Fish also use xy chromosome but factors like pH and temp can affect the outcome of the spawns sex. Eg low pH you will get more FEMS from the hatch. Some fish (swordtails) can change sex anytime through their life from fem to male if there aren't enough males around.
I'm no expert on the subject but I have seen this happen (aquarium guy). Maybe factors like pH of the soil can affect the outcome of the seeds while they are forming. I agree that you can't make a seed male or female from sprouting it but there could be other factors that affect the seeds while they are being produced. It's an interesting topic honestly. I'm not on either side just more interested on the topic itself.

Ok I will definitely try to even out the watering.

According to PRO-MIX the soil contains:
  • Canadian sphagnum peat moss
  • Peat humus
  • Perlite
  • Limestone
  • Controlled release fertilizer
  • Mycorrhizae
I am not familiar with the idea of keeping a grow journal. Please explain.

Thanks Jjgrow420. The more I learn about growing my own weed, the more fascinating it becomes.

I'm really starting to enjoy looking at other people's plant photos. It's becoming like some kind of marijuana porn.
If you can avoid that promix it's more for ornamentals.
Ya man growings a journey! Always something to learn. There's an ocean of information out there. Start off with the basics get a few good grows out then try to improve. It's a rewarding hobby for sure.

Do you have a journal? I would like to see all the science at work

Now where the fuck is your journal?

Those mids are about a year old dude.. Also your experiment is a fluke because those are from seed not from clones of a proven female plant. Please do the thread a favor and exit or something of value.

I just joined here... Hot head.. Take it easy would ya?

Im aware you just joined. Im also aware you tbink shit that you read must be true.

You asked for a journal and I provided it. Obviously you did not read the whole thing. Which lends credence to the thought that you just threw something out there hoping and praying I didnt have a journal. If you actually read thru it you might learn something.

Anyway welcome to RIU. When you have started a journal please tag me. I will actually read it.

So do you get off attacking people that just join? Since you're singling me out I won't bother tagging you in anything I post.
I'm sure you're already on top of it.

I clicked your first post and read it. Then looked at your bloom. End of story :blsmoke:
