Live Stoners The FNG

GREETINGS AFN and Members,

New to this forum but been a member to grasscity almost a year and have done a journal there.

My first real autoflower run is going on now and is in the New Growers Journal area. 4 Himalayan Blue Diesel reg. seed run (am hoping for a male or two for breeding seeds)

I am intrigued how far autos have come and now wanting to run more and more. Not stopping photos but am taking a break.

Welcome to afn! Your plants are looking fantastic. Check out the place, we have tons of forums. I just got my first pollen and am shooting for a cross and seeds to have fun with.

Yea hoping for that male or 2. Himalayan Blue is one of the autos I chose for reputation and possible colors. Have had before, that others have done and was great.

Nice plants, I'm really loving the Buddah! Welcome to AFN!

Increase your chance of males: If you have a very small grow space like your two plants. Obviously you could plant 3 seedlings instead of 2 hoping to increase your chances of having 2 males. Makes sense right? But did you increase your chances?

For your two seeds, and ignoring environmental factors which might affect sex, you've only got a 1-in-4 chance (25%) that both are male. But there's also a 1-in-4 chance that both are females. There's a 50% chance one is female and the other male. So 75% of the time, you won't have two males:

However, if you have 3 seedlings instead of 2, you've got a 50% chance that at least two are male, a 37.5% chance that only 1 is male, and a 12.5% chance that all 3 will be female:

Germing just one more seedling, you've doubled the odds of having at least 2 males (from 25% to 50%), and cut in half the chance of having no males (from 25% to 12.5%). Every seed you add will reduce the chance of having no males by 50%. So having 4 seeds, even though you've only got room for two to flower, your chance of having all females is only 6.25%, and your chance of having at least 2 males is now 68.75%.

Hope this serves you well in your coming adventures! Good luck bud!

Thanks for the welcome. Yea I know there is usually a 50/50 chance for a male. That's why there's 4 in there,lol. They go from A-D (gotta keep stuff labeled,lol). That is awesome info though. I have read thru Grow/Breeding Bible a few times (and I still don't get some of it, lol). But your explanation is pretty good. A bit easier than reading all the scientific stuff over the same topic in the Grow Bible
