24 hour light encourages Males/Hermies?

Hey, i read an article online that 24 hour light produces a higher male to female ratio, and hermies. does anyone have any experience with this?

I have never heard of such....... I doubt it. 24 hour light is not stressful to the plant as opposed to 18, from what I have read.

No practical experience here, though. I 24'd mine but they are from clone.

hey rambler, ministry of silly walks. funny shit.

why does nobody reply to my threads?

not true. the plants arguably will have a better root system grown under 18/6. i go 24/0 with no probs.

KP, with 24 hour light, do you get more males than females? or is your male to female ratio still pretty good?

my fem to male ratio is unbeleivable; 18 of my last 20 have been female, and i do not use feminised seeds.

my conditions:

64f
blue spec in veg
24-8-16 all purpose for veg (soil)

and i've had the greatest luck ever since. i was running perpetual, and was actually upset; i wanted to breed some of these strains, but i had no males! go figure...

Thats the way I've always done it... but I have always grown from clone.

no shit kp? huh, u must be really lucky for that many females. boosted my morale for sure

I have read info on a study that was done recently that suggests what you are asking.

I can not find where I read that seems like it was some breader info.

Here is a link that tells you about getting more females:

Here is some info on the subject from Videoman:

Happy growing

personally i have heard nothing but good things with running a 24 light cycle for at least a month but when you do this you need to add more water and co2 because the plants are growing all the time they need the xtra elements.

okay, well now i dunno what to do.
today makes them 3 weeks old, ill prolly start to flower in a little over a week, should i leave them on 24 hours or gradually change back to 18/6 ?

plants dont need a graduall change for light they will respond to the immedite change personally i dont flower by time but height i wait till all my plants are between 20-24 inches tall b-4 i start to flower
