just bad luck, like the man above said buy fem'd seeds, they dont cost a lot if u consider the time effort and cash u've already used up growing males. better luck next time.

Do what i do plant 5-10 plants veg for a week or two then start flower and you can get 3-7 females 7 if lucky the plants wont get real big and have a decent yeild if done correctly. So the point is to plant as many plants as possible and give a short veg time so if you get males it doesnt matter you can have 10 more plants in two weeks. If you dont understand I will try to explain better.

sex is genetic in plants, just like in humans.

you did nothing, it was just how nature intended it.

yeah, start a bunch of plants, like 10.... veg them for two weeks after breaking ground, switch to 12/12 to determine sex, then switch to 18/6 to re-veg. that way you can be 100% sure without wasting too much time.

That 60X60 is plent big enough I am growing in a 2x2x3 1/2' space and I have 8 plants I only veg for a week and they show sex around week 2 1/2 so if you get a male you didnt waste 6 weeks of you life on taking care of dudes. If done correctly and feed them right they should put off a decent yeild. Also what is you light set-up and can you spit you tent into two rooms that way you have 1 veg room and 1 flowering room. IF you want you can start like 10 seeds put in veg room for 2 weeks then take 8 of them to flower side of tent and leave two in veg for 6 weeks if you want. I have seen this done and I have done this and I am doing it now so it does work and it works well that way you let two plants get bigger then add them to the flowering side.

Dont 12/12 to see sex then re-veg that will stress those plants so bad they might all be male if you do this and this might cause them to hermie. Not a good Idea.
