just flowered after vegging with 16/8

after hearing about this method i decided to try it out. out of 22 plants only 4 turned male. i would advise this "trick" to all people. happy days.

k k k k k ...so what's the trick? or do you mean 16/8 instead of 18/6? sorry....or did I miss sumthin?

I'll bite too, what is the "trick" since it seems that I may have ended up with 4 male plants out of 4 seeds germinated.

early flower then put back into veg mode

the trick is simply as i stated 16/8 rather than 18/6 i heard this induces more females

Thanks for the clarification.... I may have to give that a try next time.

You just got lucky. I had this batch of 53 seeds once, I got 3 ungerminated left. Out of 53 I got 50 females, and to date I've never had the opportunity to see a male in my garden since i've started growing. Matter of fact I've never seen a male up close in real life. Oh and I'm a fan of 24/0. So the "trick" here is, use bag seeds and keep the light on 24/0!

have you tryed this method b4?. cos if its your first time, you just may be a well lucky fucker.lol
has anyone else ever tryed this?.

ive been on 24/0for about 3/4 weeks and they are still on 24 and I just sexed six out of the 12 and its 4 f , 2 M...six more to check....not showin pre yet.........

MEN, MEN, there is no trick to it....lets just say. 50%...or just plain LUCKY or misfortunate......go clone and be 100 %

As a science-phile, i have to say...
1) anecdote does NOT equal evidence.
2) without a control group there is no evidence
3) without double or even triple-blind experiments - there is shaky evidence
4) numbers have to reach rather large values (think thousands or at least hundreds) of legitimate experiments to be considered statistically significant.

saying (even it is true) that i got awesome bud and all females from using an experimental light cycle with insert-hyped-nute-brand-here with killer seeds i got from some guy is NOT evidence. It is an interesting talking point and as others add there experience there can be a kernel of a worthy experiment but is not proof.

Sorry - i'll climb off my high-horse now.
