Sure Did!
Wow that looks straight up male!
Yes it does. Very frustrating
Just recently started using seeds because of availability and selection but I think I’ll go back to cloning guaranteed females
Frustrating it is I should of been harvesting anytime now. She hermied 10 days into flower.
Shoot that sucks. I hate to see that. Especially on single plant grows. I feel for you. 
Feminized seeds still do make males. I have hunted fem seeds for males before. Seeds I could not get as regs. If you were to sprout 100 fem seeds you will get 1-2 males. Much better than the 1:1 ratio you find in regs. But Mother Nature still slips in a few curve balls.
The only way to guarantee that you don’t have that 1% male is to do sex testing as a seedling. Or plant at least 2-3 plants at a time.
You should buy a lotto ticket. Clearly you are luckily unlucky today. All joking aside I am Sorry about your male.
Running clones is a proven way to keep fems. But then you always have the same smoke year after year. I think most growers settle into a combo of cloning and popping seeds. To get the best of both worlds. You get the different pheno variety of seeds, and the keepers of the real gems.
There has always been a rare chance of a male using feminized seeds, like 1 in 1000 I heard someone say, but I think we have seen more in the last month than I can ever remember.
I wouldn’t let one male plant dissuade you from growing from seed. If those are ILGM seeds then contact the seed shop and let them know.
You noticed that to! Different
We sure don’t see many fem seeds being male, if any. I can’t recall seeing any in the 4 years that I’ve been here.
I have made fem seeds from sodium thiosulfate, collisdial silver, and Rodelization. I have hunted fem seeds at least 20 times to find males. I have consistently found at around 100 sprouts I find a male. Always.
I usually start with 100 seeds for pheno hunts, flower them small. Pollinate them for seed too frequently. But mainly narrowing it down from 100 to about 10 or less to find the phenos with best mold resistance for my climate.
You will find 10 males at least in 1,000 seeds.
I would bet a pound on it.
I usually end up in this scenario when gifted an elite cut from someone I want to breed with. And I only have the mom. So I self it with silverthiosulfate and hunt the seeds to get a true breeding male. Other wise I am crazy for sure…. FYI. Hunting fems for balls.
I like you 
I had only read somewhere about the 1:1000 but I trust your first hand knowledge more. Thank you.
Im sure we will continue to see this from time to time.
The increase in males overall site wide periodically, I wonder, if there is male pollen contamination. Breeding seeds they probably need a lot of sealed areas.
The main reason I switched to breeding seeds in the off season is my harvest crops would away get pollinated and ruined with seeds. What I mean is I quit seeding select branches of the summer crop because no matter how careful I was I would always seed out the plants. I would keep males offsite at a friends house miles away. I would go cut stamens in the paper bags at his house. I would shower and change my clothes when I got home. Then tie the bag onto select branches. At harvest time all I would have is a plant loaded up with seeds, and the plant next to it, and the plant next to that. Be careful a little pollen goes a LONG ways.
Maybe occasionally a little pollen goes a little ways in some breeding tents or greenhouses on the grand scale of the operation…?
I know I need to do a deep clean on my tent and accessories. 5 Months later if I didnt get it all would I have anything to be concerned about as far as pollen?
This from an independent site:
As the name suggests, feminized cannabis seeds produce exclusively female cannabis plants (or about 99.9% female). Regular cannabis seeds, on the other hand, produce a mix of male and female plants."
I found several other sites with the same statement. That amounts to 1:1000. I don’t have any personal experience getting male plants from feminized seeds.
I see where regular seeds are sold they list the ratio of 50/50. I remember growing seeds back in the 70s and I would have 80/20 male dominant. Getting a female was always difficult.
Maybe I was just unlucky
If it’s bone dry then it can last a year. Water ruins it. All you have to do is use a pump sprayer and wet down all the walls with a mist. A little hydrogen peroxide is insurance it will oxidize the pollen. But if I didn’t have a jug I would not go buy one. H20 does it.
Here I just stick them all out in the seattle winter rain to deactivate the pollen before switching males. Yes I do keep about a dozen keeper males as Bansai clones.
These cloner lights have year old dry pollen on them. I took a finger of it and touched some pistils on a reveg clone @DEEPDIVERDAVE gifted me. The next day it curled up red and seems to be fertile still…
I have definitely been over blessed in the boy department before. I like to think some where someone else got all the girls. Ha
My jillybean x blueberry F1s I am running for harvest this year had a screwed male ratio. It was like 3-1. Things that make you go hmmm…
IDK What is the best way to clean the quantum boards? A pump up bottle with H2O is not a problem. I don’t want to screw up the boards
