Hey bro just outta curiosity, what was yr relative humidity while yr seedlings were growing before sexing? I also get high male ratios. My rh is usually low and im beginning to suspect that rh has alot more influence on sex than i thought.
My theory is this- when males flower they rely on dry air to dry the nanners so they can open and pop releasing pollen. Fwiw, they wont open very much in the rain. As we know, water/moisture destroys pollen. They'll hold out til it dries. I believe the thin skin on the nanners has to dry to be able to burst. Seems to be a sort of fail safe so the pollen isnt wasted when conditions are wet.
This last month (june) was very dry. I noticed quite a few nanners show up in the flower room that month. Some strains i have normally do this. But this time i was getting em on strains that never threw nanners before. Nearly every strain popped at least 1 nanner that month.
It almost seems as if the plant says- hey its really dry, this would be a perfect time to bust a nut and knock myself up. Or when its a baby- hey its really dry, im gonna be a male so i can be busting nuts all over this b****.
Bout a month ago i popped some strayfox gear. Turned on my swamp cooler so rh is really high. Well low n behold i got 6/10 females. Highest percentage since the grand opening at this spot.
Anybody else notice this? Sry for the non bodhi ramble. This is what happens when i lace my joints w bho
