September Results are in. Across all samples we completed this month, 57.5% came back female, a little under our 2026 year-to-date average of 59.3%.

Turnaround averaged 1.10 business days from the time a sample reaches our lab to the result. 88% of samples were done the next business day, and 99.6% within 2 business days.

Our fastest full round trip, from kit out to results, was 6 days (4 business days). Got questions about testing your plants? Drop them in the comments or send us a message.

We spent this summer rebuilding our Fig Tree S*x Test from the DNA up. Same easy kit, but the lab work behind it is brand new: our own fig primers, run on real-time qPCR. That means faster and more accurate. To celebrate the launch, the test is $15 or less through September.

June results analysis is in. Overall testing in June was strong, with over 4,000 samples submitted and just over 60% of those being female. The female % was slightly higher than our YTD average but still in line with our expectations.

We take pride in knowing 1,600+ male plants were detected early, most tested between 2 and 6 weeks old, well before pre-flowers would reliably confirm their s*x by eye. That head start means less time, water, and nutrients spent on plants that were never going to make it to harvest, at least 30,000 gallons of water saved (conservative estimate, indoor and outdoor combined) along with real hours of labor. Not to mention the space savings and reduced risk of a missed male slipping into flower and pollinating your females.

How do these results compare to your own grow? As we get deeper into the summer, I hope everyone who follows and is growing outdoors has had their plants tested or samples on the way. You still have time to recover and get those fields filled with 100% females before harvest season!
