question about switching from 18/6 to 24/0 advice needed

[bkellegh]

i just put two rooted clones in their pots under 6 26 watt cfls's and there doing fine but i did some research and decided to switch over to 24/0 to get fast vigerous growth to train and make them short and bushy. i only bought them 4 days ago from a club.

will this change in the light cycle cause any stress on the plants?

could it turn hermie?

I dont think it'll effect them stress wise. I've read that longer light periods increases the chance of males

I assume your clones are female, lol, so, it should be fine...what are the color temp of your lights?
post some pics plz.

quite correct. the plant assumes the season is too late to produce buds and decides to spread some pollen instead...that can be done quick and easy for a MJ plant. but I doubt the OP will have that problem, since most clones are females.

there 6500 k . blueish type lights. if i wanted to change to 20/4, would i have to do it over a period of time?
i would rather just not risk the chance of turning hermie with keeping them under 24/0 light.

No man, if u want to change your lights just set it like that one day then use that cycle until your ready to switch cycles,
Just like me, i start my veg cycle today, so i set my timer to shut off at 8:30 pm central. it will cut back on at 2:30 am.(18/6)
They wont hermie until they have first shown signs of flowering, then get light when they are trying to sleep, ergo light poisoning.
after that if they have both parts then youve got yourself a hermie, so keep lights off when the plants are trying to get there sleep on
