I went thru and culled the first males on day 7 of flower. I plan on checking again in the next few days for any males that may be left.
So far the male to female ratio has been high. I should have the total tally here soon.

I just pulled all 4 Twizzlers f2 freebies, all males! They were probably testers.
I'll have to order a pack from Big Worm if I would like to give them a try in the future.
3 of the 4 Wicked Glue freebie testers were male.
5 of 10 Blue Gorilla Bubbles are male
5 of 10 Gorilla Bubble bx2 male
6 of 10 Gorilla Bubble bx1 male
1 of 10 501st og male, so far still waiting for sexual expression.
I have saved a few of the Locktite and Gorilla Bubble bx2 males to run through the steps selecting for future breeding stock.

Something in your grow is causing that high of male germination rate . I don't know exactly but that is over 60% or you just had a bad luck run . You still have a lot of fire to go through though !

I was wondering the same thing. I've usually ended up with 60% females.
I even second guessed myself and wondered if I had mistook some females as males, but I was completely sober and have done this a few times.
Isn't the sex of the seed already predetermined?
I'm a little bummed at the vacant patches left behind. I am training them fiercely to try and fix the loss.
I've been pushing them with Maxi Grow in veg and am transitioning to Maxi Bloom @850 ppm, Epsom salt @ 1/4 teaspoon gal. They have had explosive growth and zero over fertilization issues. I usually feed with less nitrogen in a Lucas or K.I.S.S. style but I thought I would give them the nitrogen levels most folks give in veg.

Thanks, Tonygreen, I've been breaking bamboo stakes down to 2 footers and tying up the many lanky side shoots.
I should have turned them at least a week earlier to avoid such crowding.
The Gorilla Bubbles and wicked glue are very branchy. Their like little bushes.
The Locktite are the opposite. They have little side branching and are very vigorous and tall.
Pics in the next few days once I've determined the sex of them all.
yar man once they get going they beast, that slow time in the very beginning they are building massive roots.
Look at the bright side the extra space will make for some nice side nuggage probably.
Keep an eye out for intersex in them beds, now at least you got more room to keep an eye out!

Thanks Stonironi.
They seem a bit behind to me for being week 4. I guess as long as they keep growing I'll be happy, even if they take an extra week to finish.
I noticed a few dead pistils on a few colas in one general area. I located a few male parts
on one of my girls.
I'm not going to say what strain it is, it might be grower error on my part. I'll be keeping a close eye on her sisters, for sure.
Looks like I've got some fems on the way, lol.

Can't believe I haven't seen this thread earlier. I like every strain you have going, the bx2 and locktite especially. Keep up the great growing

Thanks, WindyCityKush. I probably slipped the thread in under the radar. I usually post late and I'm in the far NorthWest time. Lots of folks are probably sleeping by then.
So far I'm pretty happy with all of my girls. The Locktites and Gorilla Bubbles continue to pump out the frost while the 501st are stacking nicely.
