Both of you are incorrect. you knowing guys with mother plants for 8 years is a lie because if that where true you would know thoseNot true. althor is right. Take mother plants for instance they stay vegged 24/7. I know guys that have mothers that are 8 years old and never shown.
plants in veg for 8 years would have showed sex 7 years and 11 months ago.... max.
a plant being in veg has absolutely nothing to do with a plant showing sex. It will show once mature. All of my plants are sexed in veg 1 month at the 6th node. If you can't grow, burn them, shock them, fuckem up it will take longer because you are stunting growth.If you keep a plant in veg light cycle it will stay vegged.
You are giving out incorrect information as a new grower you need to be learning and not trying to teach. Now is a time to listen, read books and learn how to grow. You can't fake this with, you Know guys with this or that because When you speak your true knowledge will show in your case lack thereof.

Lol. Just watch the knowledgeable people response.It's all about the light cycle
