24 hour light, or 18-6?

[UFEELIT?]

Im a new grower and i recently had 5/5 of my successfully germinated seeds go all male, long story short, im pissed. Could a 24 hour vegetative light schedual make my plants go male??? Should I have gone 18-6 from the seed??? please any tips and help would be much appreciated.

Nah, you just had some really crappy luck, bro. Look on the bright side.....the odds of it happening again, are slim to none.lol

wowww that sucks bro...

nope 24 hr light cycle is better IMO

24/0 IMO, but some will say that plants need sleep, and prefer 18/6.

I prefer 18/6, ran both and no difference or speed. Save your electricity for your girlfriends vibrator.

Lol!...good stuff on riu today.

i sometimes forget to turn my vegg room off - so its 24/0 , other days 18/6 makes no difference imo.. some ppl say roots grow when its dark , so i guess im growing plants with no roots , damn im good

Ive never seen a vibrator that runs from the mains. They all have batterys.

Not my wifes, once you go corded she won't go back trust me! You both have no clue, silly boys.

I guees she will allways have top have the bed near the plug socket lol.

you mf'ers are far out lmao

 

[kingi95012]

Haha I wonder sometimes, I will feel it when I come upstairs and want sex if she says no. I found it warm a few times, it is that good at least according to her (and my nuts).

Well a suppose that a + side to it then. The battery operated ones dont really heat up that much haha

You havent seen my girlfriends vibrator then. She is fat, I mean extra fat with a few double chins, and rolls of belly. Her vibrator is big too, it has a ballast to convert electricity from the wall socket. When she needs to make it portable... she carries two Truck batteries in her fat back pack and jumper cables. I just flipped her fat ass to 12/12 cuz she is running up the utilities bill.

I prefer to use 18/6 for the following reasons in the vegetative period.

1. It uses 42 less hours of light per week, which saves on electricity.
2. 18/6 more closely mimics nature than 24 hours of continuous light.
3. It gives your lights a chance to break from being on 24/7.


24 hours of light will not make your plant go male nor is it bad at all. I actually use 24/0 sometimes for the first week of veg.

Then why is she with you? If your girl needs such a big vibrator that it needed a ballats to power it surely no man could please her? lol

LOL luckily for me I'm still young enough to get it up so I don't have to invest in one of those suckers for the lady

I am about 3.5 weeks into veg and have been running them 24/7(thought it would increase speed of growth) reading this would it be a good idea to switch them to 18/6 now or just wait for the cycle to be done and do the switch for the next batch of seeds? would it hurt, stunt, or set them into flowering doing it now?

Hey guys quick question would it b ok to put a seedling on for 12-12 to sex it, and then put it on 18-6 for vegging
