How to germ seeds to be female?

My last show I used Superthrive and h2o2 @ 22c to germ my seeds. I got 9/9 female. What are the odds? I read that Superthrive and the right temp will help produce females. Anyone else got any tips to help bring up the percentage of female plants. I hope this is not the same as making femenized seeds.

i heard that optimal conditions will rear more females. i guess bogus males are more apt to survive harsher conditions. keep temps around 85ish and make sure they're soil is moist not drenched. also, iv heard females develop under blue spectrum veg lights, so dont try to veg out under orange compacts or hps to shorten internodes. the maain thing is to avoid stresses, especially drought or excessive heat waves. 9/9 is nuts, i dont know what your doing but keep doing it.

if you really need a male, just stress one of your females out. bring it out of the cab for an hour each dark period into some light then put it back. should help ya get some banana's and some s1's

If a female branch gets sprayed with girbillic acid. that branch will produce pollen.
 
how do you tell weather there females so soon? I gotta grow for three weeks then switch to 12/12 and it still takes 3 or 4 days after that for me to tell female's from males.

They are on day 6 of 12/12

d4.

If you want females water them with Poland Springs water... it contains an almost untraceable amount of estrogen that should increase your percentage of females.

Spray a hole plant or a branch with the GA. It is sold at garden stores as a tomato blossom set. Look on the label for girbillic acid or girbillen not exact spelling. Spray the branch or whole plant when you go to 12/ 12. It will hermie or go male. Use that pollen on a bud site.
The seeds will be female. 2 crossed females even if 1 is a hermie has female offspring because there is no male dna in the equation.
