Recommendations please...

Hello all,
I would like some recommendations on where to get feminized seeds. For my first grow ever I purchased 10 non-feminized WW seeds from Amsterdam seed Co. Only 6 of them germed and of those only one plant was female. I would prefer a reputable co. in Canada if possible. I dont think anything I did made all the males but I am new so I dont know. I use Black Gold soil with no nutes in it, a 400W MH/HPS lamp in a 3 by 3 grow area (white tiled bathroom), FF GB,BB and TB at 1/4 strength. HOH pH at 6.5. Temp 80F and humidity at 45-55%. Oscillating fan,24/0 lights for 4 week veg and 12/12 for flower. I guess I am tired of wasting my time and also am going to purchase a 6 place DWC setup for the next try. Thanks in advance for your input. Pic is of my one female White Widow at 5 weeks old.

if you dont live in the united states, get them from everyonedoesit.com, they have excellent seeds although do not ship to us.

but most people like attitude seedbank...

also look as subcool seeds as he has some amazing strains
 
Thanks to all who replied and I have found a reputable company. I have another question about my one remaining plant. It has been 10 days now since I posted that pic and my WW has grown about 10 inches and is about 4 inches from my 400W hps lamp. I installed a fan to cool the lamp (not to keep the room cool I dont need to do that ) but to keep the plant from burning which it isnt. Should I move the lamp again until it is about 18 inches from the top of the plant? I want the plant to spend its energy growing flowers not stalk and what little buds are on there are already covered with trichs. I feel that if I move the lamp it will continue to grow upwards and I would like to keep it at its present height. Any experienced growers have any suggestions? Thanks again.

She looks great! If your light isn't burning the plant, leave it where it is - for all lights, as close as you can get without burning is what you want.:peace:
