Why does everyone have to be a fucking ass hole? I said right at the fucking top of the post IN MY HUMBLE FUCKING OPINION. Now quit being a know it all douche bag. Anthropomorphism isn't he issue here. I never said plants are like people. I said plants have evolved over millions of years to expect night cycles. Changing the environment from what they expect can cause mutations to happen. It is the plants natural defence to go hermaphrodite and make seed when it recognizes the environment it is in, is not the environment it is bread for. I am really getting tired of people taking personal cracks and trying to look cool. I bet you don't have many friends do you.

Plants are not humans and do not require rest. In fact, plants do most of their stretching during what you call a "rest" period. They stretch for light. They do not shut down. Ever.

In closing: Plants have no anthropomoprhic qualities. Using logic based on the human condition for things that are not human is stupid. More stupid than pretending to know about botany while knowing nothing about botany.

OK enough of the shooting shit back and forth. My question was Can I go from a 24/0 hour cycle to an 18/6 cycle? Would it be harmful to the plants? And that is not considered messing around with photo periods that might create hermaphrodite's If one switches back and forth habitually or even a few times, that would prob be the way to create herm's.

But to answer people who are not aware of Google and all it's powers, and haven't found out the there are places on the planet that the sun DOES NOT SET for months at a time, ( Alaska set's for 43 minutes or something?) Here check this out.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_sun

......A cut portion of that page.... so the countries and territories whose populations experience it are limited to the ones crossed by the Arctic Circle, i.e. Canada, United States of America (Alaska), Denmark (Greenland), Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and extremities of Iceland. A quarter of Finland's territory lies north of the Arctic Circle and at the country's northernmost point the sun does not set for 73 days during summer.
.......Given fair weather, the sun is visible for a continuous 24 hours......
......Even the northern extremities of Scotland (and those places on similar latitudes) experience a permanent "dusk" or glare in the northern skies at these times.......

------Hijack the request for info if you please, but I just wanted to know, if I start my babies with a 24/0 cycle for 1 month, then can I go to a 18/6 without damage and then a month or 6 weeks later go into a 12/12?
That was the question? And everyone is a retard to someone else.... Shit, I am sure someone thinks I am retarded. :)


And boys.. no more fighting. lol

Of course you can. There should be no harm in doing this to most strains of cannabis. As always though some strains react better than others to different methods. The only way to be sure is to try it. If you do plan on utilizing a 24/0 schedule then I would be sure to have enough lighting to make Co2 useful. Without both copious lighting and decent Co2 exposure the benefits of 24/0 are mostly wasted aside from short internodal growth.

QFStupidity.

Not trying to be an asshole (now) and I would like to point out that opinions have no place in botany. Why are you arguing against years of scientific research with your ill informed opinion? It makes no sense.
 
Why do you have to be such an ass. I never said anything about you. I said in my opinion I think it is retarded. Then you get all dickish about it and say shit like "now who's the retard". Don't project your insecuritys on me punk.
