it would help me a lot, becaouse I only have 2 plants (2 weeks old) and I would go crazy if both are males.

This question is asked some many times. I think I have seen it twice in the past 7 days. Next time search around a little and you can probably find the answer. Regardless, I'm not gonna be a dick and not answer your question.

There is no real way to increase the chance of having females. Naturally you have a 50-50 chance. That doesn't mean your going to get 1 female and 1 male. You could end up with all females or all males.

However, by having ideal grow conditions, proper lighting, ventilation water all that. You can decrease the likely hood of your plants going Hermie (male and female parts if you don't know what I'm talking about). so be nice to your plants and hopefully they will reward you with some beautiful females.

my inclination is to say no. i'm thinking if anything even remotely worked in would be in 75% of the books and all over this and other sites.

but i'd love to be proven wrong.

one thing i heard was to use 18/6 instead of 24/0 lighting but all i've ever used has been 24/0 and my luck with bag seed has been bad. my luck with bought seed has been good. so my confirmation bias would say the bought seed was what caused more females. But my experience is anecdotal and not statistically significant.
