8/9 are females Is this even possible?

[hamstring]

I have a grow diary of Moonshine Haze and I had 8/9 nine females. Not much for conspiracy theories but is this even possible. Was there a mix up in the order? Most of my over 25 years of growing have been using seeds and I have never had anything over 60% females.

Anyone ever experience anything like this?

I guess I should except I'm not sure this is lucky for me. My grow space is small and was hoping for a 4-5 females out of the 9 plants.

It usually works like that ...only, 90 percent males. Just kidding. Except back in the day, i would think that by planting four, that i'd get at least one female, which didn't happen a couple of times.

There's a saying that goes something like men who are sensitive lovers have more girls as children. But it's about people hehe.

Probability of 8/9 being one sex is 1.758%. Google coin flip probability if the math interests you.

Unless you want to breed this is a good thing.

Went through my old notebooks last year looking at the maths.
Had two different ten packs yield nine males each back to back so it certainly happens , average over thousands of seeds is slightly more females , maybe 55%

Somewhere out there someone else has a pack with 8 males. Just like @foomar said. Luck of the draw. Just like puppies.

I crossed a Brood X male to SSSDH female. Beginning of this month I germed 4 seeds and got 4 females. Seeds pulled from a pot of about 500.

Normally I would agree with you but I am doing a pheno hunt in a 40x40x52 room with a 36 x 36 screen. Eight sativa leaning plants is a tough ask. DOH!

I am going for it though.

I totally agree with your 55% female number.

I used to sprout 80-100 seeds every outdoor season (before fems) and I swear I never had anything less than 50/50 female/male.

Very interesting 4 out 4. Never had that either.

Pull 9 out and see what happens

Will do, thanks.

I once got 9/10 females, from a pack of Goji OG back when they first dropped.
