KushKing604.... In a nutshell, NO. Each strain of Mary, has a predetermined gentic split, to ensure it goes on. Even feminized seeds, are no guarantee you will get females.
.
Stress of any kind - causes more males. So, if you avoid overwatering, overfertilizing, manage temps / humidity levels - keeping all within the norm, you will end up with a 50 /50 split and at best a 65 / 35 split.
.
I wish there was a secret formula for ensuring all females, but it does not exsist. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...
.
Keep it Real... Organic... and fewer of your plants will experience stress...
.
Chemicals...kill...the soil, the plant...& eventually you....

I would not do that, IT WILL DO HARM TRYING THAT.
Any Interruptions to night cycle will induce males.
No Stresses of any type.
Try to replicate nature, by all means.

Wrong ...... Not a 1 hour split during veggin it wont ... Where is it sunny 20/4? we are replicating nature man lol
And some stress is good for plants during veggin it make them grow more Vigerous *
The answer to the original is a plain an stright no lol all i can do is add a few myths ive hear people say
Will i ever try it myself ... no lol

bullshit and what is photocyificy? do you mean photosynthesis?
100% correct
bullshit, bananas are a great source of K but putting them in your soil they will only rot and make your soil all mouldy increasing the chance of mould spores getting on your bud and causing budrot or rootrot
correct
how does stressing your plants make them grow more vigorously? any form of stress causes toxins to build up in the plant resulting in slow growth and i believe there are some places in the world that are light 24/7 at certain times of the year and those regions are where the autoflowering ruderalis strains originate that dont rely on the reducing photoperiod of autumn/winter to flower.

what you asked before wont work. the reason it takes about 2-3 weeks of 12/12 to sex is because the change in light schedule makes the plant think it is time to bloom. it is a slow process for the plant to change from vegging to flower because the change in light will trigger hormones that tell the plant ok its time to start flowering. it takes time for the plant to adjust from one light cycle to the next. there is really no way to speed up the process.
also light stress will cause hermies if there is enough stress. it can cause leaves to be malformed and its genetics to go haywire. the only "stress" that you should put on your plant should be a fan to keep them shorter and keep your nodes tighter

If there is no sex untill 2-3 weeks of flowering how can a hours light break going to make them have both sex ?
A bit of stress makes them grow like topping they react violenty towards it like some 1 is trying to kill them and just grow like a fucker Just a little strees is good for growin plants.
I suppose topping vegging plants does not stress them or make them react huh ?
Does topping cause hermies after stress ?
Light stress in flowering can lead to hermies not so much during vegging lot of light breaks happen naturaly storms a tree blocking the sun

I have to agree with Londoner. I still think it's 50/50 on whether you get a female or not try as you might, that's why I clone. + rep for Londoner

The 50/50 was never in dought was it
Right kingkush ask a question the answer was no , I told him a myth like they are every were in the cannabis sceen on the subject . Trying to be helpful HAHA .. Then the quotes seen somthing different and went off lol fs i says it bull from the start
But believe or not that read about photosynthesis (cheers 4 looking it up lol )and it causing some stress being good was writing in soft secrets the end of last summer ................ now go annoy some 1 else im high
anoying quoters hahah only joking .. nobbs lol

well you can stress you plants all you want but all it does is take energy away from growing and flowering. an hour's light break is not going to cause a plant to herm, but if you have ongoing fluctuations in the light cycle your will cause it to be stressed and possibly go hermy. i know because i have done it myself. topping does stress the plant but the growth that follows is the natural result of doing such.

What are you even talking about now A min ago a hours light break will cause hermie now it may
The stress from topping will not cause hermies it reacts and grows fimming stress it reacts
ive seen people snipping leafs it all reacts to that stress ,
How can it sound so mad for some stress to make your plants react in a way with 1 hours light coming on in the 18/6 break ? .

what kingkush was asking for was HELPFULL advice mate on how to increase female/male ratio, not asking for myths, myths are called myths coz thats all they are, far too many people read too much into these "myths" and apply them to theyre own grow often doing more harm than good..... and for your information mate i didnt need to look jackshit up, ooh you read it in soft secrets so it must be true, LMFAO

the reason why topping and fimming etc doesnt cause huge stress is because this kind of damage can occur naturally, if an animal walks over the plant and snaps a branch or the top, if wind or heavy rain causes damage to the plant, the plant then redirects energy towards repairing the damage and growing back stronger at the point of damage in an effort to prevent this damage from happening again, this is why it makes them "react violently" and "grow like a fucker" as you put it. now interuptions in a plants dark photoperiod however WILL stress the fuck out of a plant because this does not happen naturally, so the bottom line is, the plant is able to deal with damage like topping very well with minimal stress, but it is not able to deal with light polluton, and lightbreaks during the light period like a storm or tree blocking the sun has no effect because its still light isnt it? its still daytime, when its dark and you introduce light thats when the stress is caused

There is no way to increase female rato that any 1 knows , Thats why i told him sothing i heard ,There is pro,s practicing this lots of whys hopping to control sex through photos. i passed on what i heard , And told him its most likely a myth
The stress causing growth is not a myth just like pruning topping fimming pinching thats all makes rapid growth after stress does it not .. So all other stress is ok it seems huh
The light leeks in flower can cause hermies not really common if it gets 1 extra hour on the 18/6 wont make much of a stress not as much as use lot haha
I bet when topping first got talked of the nobbs fired the quotes in kill him its wrong(not you mate your not a nobb)
when the world was flat type stick to the normal ,Just because you havent heard of it dont make it true , Even know your a pro man i know imagin
That how any thing is learned not the nobbys shuting its wrong kill him haha

Thats just bullshit and you know it haha.. a animal stomps on a plant naturally lol but is less stress than a 1 hour light break in a nearly 24/0 light cycle
Oh there the sun popping back out we must of had a storm . or a animal stomping on them what is natural ..?
And when ya cant answer ya act childish .. yur a fucking nobb man
