If I remember it correctly, your first row is the notes in the g scale. The second row used the same g scale notes only you start with the third note. The third row starts with the fifth note of the g scale. The notes are the same as the first row sharps and all.

G A B C D E F#

B C D E F# G A (same notes as row one, shifted two notes left)

D E F# G A B C ( same notes as row one, shifted 4 notes left)

So yes, the only sharps (or flats) are from row one. It sounds like you were writing the B major and D major scales for your second and third row which gave you all those extra sharps. And as you discovered was not correct.
