It could be this plant throws female flowers more easily than others as another member had female flowers too. Adam I can still send it down to you as it's of little use to me this close to moving. I really would have liked some male flowers

Changing the light really only works on young plants. Large, mature plants will often throw female flowers no matter what your culture! Chop this one up if you want to overcome this problem.
