Hi peeps Monkz here,

just thought Id share something with everyone. On another thread earlier today somebody asked if an 18/6 light cycle would induce flowering... the obvious answer was given: no! (excluding auto-flowering strains).
Then a member of this very site kept going on and on about how 18/6 does induce flowering. I will not mention his name because I only want to help new growers and make sure that mis-information isn't spread to the point where newbies believe it.
He was very adament that the plant showing its pre-flowers and actually flowering were the same thing and I obviously told him otherwise. If what he says were true, which is ridiculous to even say or think, then how could a mother plant be kept on a vegetative light cycle for months, even years without having it flower.
I explained to him time and time again that a veg cycle will only allow the plant to show its pre-flowers and that it would not actually 'flower' or bud out' but he didnt listen and continued to express his ignorant opinion.

I just dont understand how someone can be so certain about such an un-yielding (lol excuse the pun) opinion, on a subject that I thought was common knowledge.

If plants didnt need a flowering cycle do you think nature would bother with having autumn and winter?

LOL this guy just wowed me is all I can say.

So if you didnt know... NO 18/6 doesnt induce flowering and for the majority of people who know this common fact please please please for the love of god speak out so that new growers dont make the silly mistake of keeping their plants on 18/6 forever and ever waiting for it to magically flower lol

Peace,
Monkz.

agreed. 18/6 is a normal veg used for years and should not signal floweing stages.

Ed R says if u veg go 24/0 as cannibis is type3 co2 plant and does not require night cycle. I do 24/0 stage1 20/4 stage2 18/6 stage3 12/12 stage4 10/14 stage5 and 0/24 for last day.

I have encountered strains that after several months will flower under 18/6. But they grow slowly while continuing to veg. just the nature of the strain and more prevelant in indica heavy strains. Perhaps this guy was growing this type of weed.

Some people just don't know how to be wrong. All the convincing in the world won't help these people. Just let them go their ignorant way and do your best to teach others willing to learn the proper way of doing things.

My daddy always said: "You can lead a jerk to knowledge, but you can't make him think". I think that applies here.
Good luck & good grow.......BB

awesome thread guys...really informative...got enough haterade in ya?
but did you know that plants WILL truely indeed flower under 18 hours of light?

Botanists usually divide plants into three categories relating to their preferred day length: short-day, long-day or day-neutral. Short-day plants, such as chrysanthemums, kalanchoe, azaleas and begonias, will thrive on less than 12 hours of light per day. In fact, these plants must usually go through a series of even shorter days before they will set buds and flower.
Long-day plants require at least 14 to 18 hours of light each day. Most vegetables and garden flowers are long-day plants, and when they don't receive enough light they get pale and leggy. Day-neutral plants, including foliage plants, geraniums, coleus and African violets, are usually satisfied with 8 to 12 hours of light all year-round.

Now most MJ strains will not produce mature trichomes (yellow, gold, amber) while under 18/6 but you will see white and partially cloudy trichs. Keep in mind you must be using the right spectrum of lights to induce the plants enzymes to fight off what it thinks is UV rays.

Please quit arguing and start helping a fellow grower out.

just spend 2 minutes thinking about what you asked...
wikipedia cannabis plant, it will probably help you more than 95% of the threads on riu. Eventhough it too is information from unsited/unreliable sources.

and swimming in the middle of the ocean would be a dangerous thing, fishing on the other hand; is a blast...
