Quick tip i used to use to shoe sex neal, i would go get the little brown bags they put a single beer in and cover a branch with it. This will kill the light and deprive it like you want to. I used to do it to sex my plants id find a branch and then bag it. after about 3-4 days of this i would see a sex organ. :)
Sounds like a more effective method..
I'll be sure to try this before hacking off limbs.

Well, not to be a dick, but maybe you're looking tat that wrong... you'll notice a lot of guys in here breeding their own seeds.... males aren't bad always...

if you want all fem... spend the extra money to get fem seeds.... very worthwhile!

Seems the one that hasn't shown will most likely be female as they tend to take longer to show.
Like JM said i would have at least kept one to breed seed stock with. Save $$ that way.
Then down the road make some crosses.

they were just random bag seed i got a shit load more of them and due to space restrictions they woulda just taken up useable room once i get more room ill keep a few males just kinda ticked me the ratio only 1 possible fem outta 6. im hoping this last one is a fem.

I called my dad hes a old hippy from back in the day. He gave me a idea for living soil and i figured id run it past you guys to see if its a valid idea or if the 70's were just to hard on him. go out in the woods clear a place and dig up the top few feet of dirt cause it should be better then the crap i buy in a store (his words) and it should already have all that good stuff in it. we grew in the woods for a long time using the old dead fish next to the roots method the old indian dude showed my dad to do and we had some monsters. so would it work or be a waste of time to try?

Damn this thread is going speed of light, i came to see the suggestions on my question and it went way back on this. Weekend it's like feeding the ladys on this thread, they just lift up and smile at us xD.
To the point, thx for the tips on what to go m8s, i think i'll try the PJ later because attitude has only regular seeds and i'll have limited space, so, since it's my first grow i'd probably hit a bunch of males despite of the 50% chance on fems. So i guess i'll be trying L#2xAK47 and see what i can pull.
Cheers m8s

Sure... the main thing is adecent "airy" soil... loose so roots can sweep through easily... and the other thing... maybe y your fem / mal rati sux... make sure not to use pre-ferted soil for starts... it causes way higher male/ fem ratios... no nutes for the first 7 days minmum... and if you use a plug of soil with no nutes in say FFOF... then n nutes till at least 21 days...
