more females than males

J Cervantes explains that you can influence the sex of a seed by outside influences page 21 of his book ,these are the 3 that I did . when I filled my 5 gallon water bucket I added 1 teaspoon of raw nitrogen , I decreased the temp and I increased the humidity , Well this year for my outside grow I started 56 plants 2 were autos the rest were regular seeds ,Out of the 54 seeds 2 turned out to be male the rest are female ,Thats right out of 54 plants I ended up with 52 female plants , I decreased the temp by blowing cooler air in from the other section of my cellar and to increase humidity I enclosed the area with insulation I sprayed them all and installed a cheap humidifier , The key to this is real simple when the plants had 2 sets of true leafs I started with everything so that when the 3rd set of leafs came they already had the N humidity and slightly cooler temps , its when the third set of leafs pop that all this has to be done .I only did this for 2 weeks maybe 3 . tried to upload the page but couldn't then it made me upload at least 1 pic lol

I was just recently wondering if environment could effect sex. I started 7 bag seeds and all turned out female and a friend of mine started 11 and said all turned out male. Of course it had me questioning. I cant wait to experiment

From one old Jar Head to another. Question. Do you know how high your humidity was and what your temp range was. those are very impressive percentages. What was the source for your raw nitrogen. Any other tidbits of info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

the humidity just has to be higher than the RH in room , I use a clear tote as a cover, spray them down cover and your set,
I use RAW N its in powder form and I just mix in what it says to the key is to start when the plants have their second set of true leafs
I also have to say it didn't work this year but I only had 1 reg seed so I didn't pay that much attention to detail
