Things are looking pretty good so far, but I have a few questions:

1) Are you buying feminized seeds? The reason that I ask is that although some breeders seem to make reliable feminized seeds, others are notorious for making hermies. This may be the source of your problem.

2) Is the indoor mix a random mix of different strains? If so, you might find that you are overfeeding some and underfeeding others if you have them all hooked in to the same res.

3) Are you cloning? If so, I suppose you can keep them together and eliminate the feeding issue.

I see now that it looks like your other plants are in soil. Are you going hydro this time, or are you transplanting the rockwool into soil?

Oh, and it looks like you have a nice couple of rooms. I'll definitely be watching.

Like the set up.

What lights do you have in your veg chamber?

I have a veg box with a similar number of plants that have just sprouted, so any advise would be helpful.

1) Are you buying feminized seeds? yes I am this is my first run with the ones i bought off the internet i was so sick of having plants that grew hermie i decided to get them off of the internet

2) Is the indoor mix a random mix of different strains? yes it is and i do tend use the recommend fox farm feeding chart nutrients i have the full line and wasn't expecting this to be an issue

3) Are you cloning? yes i am actually a quick question to ask is it possible to clone flowering females with out a gender issue?

I see now that it looks like your other plants are in soil. Are you going hydro this time, or are you transplanting the rockwool into soil? I do the rock-wool in to jiffy pots idk why it just seems to work for me

Well i have good news all the plants in my veg chamber turned out to be female now they are on their way i will have some better pictures tomorrow Also i will be going off the the hydro shop this week and should be getting some more nutrients, i have a few quick questions

With the flushing solutions what is a good one to use with my soil setup?

Also if you have plants that started off female and were tured into a herm from light stress dose that mean that all of the seeds will be female?

i found out why i've been getting so many herms because of the light leaking in to the closet from this back panel so to solve that I'm going to get some expandable foam at the hardware store and patch that up.
