Connection between 24hr lights & males

if this is true the only reason someone should go 24 hrs of light is because they dont have a timer lol 18/6- 1.saves money on bill 2.produces more females 3. helps the root system and healthier plants

I think it is luck of the draw as far as male to female idont think light plays any factor to growing males to females I run 24 hours of light every grow and either I have been lucky or it plays no factor, I have only ever grown 3 males yes 3. either when I first started with bag seeds or fem seeds. so I think the seed is predermind at gremination. just the luck of the draw

I'm growing with the Canna Coco line. It includes a Rhizatonic root stimulation nutrient, and I have never had a problem with my root development. Therefore, if stronger roots is the best argument for 18/6, does that mean my 24/0 system is still beneficial to vegetative growth?

I know this is an old thread but I did everything that your not supposed to on the OPs list and I ended up with 5 males and 2 females out of the 7 I planted.

it really dont matter to me which one is right i got bored of this thread on page 11 dont know if anyone ever tryed it out or wat. i like to grow mine in a colder temp because i like it when the stem is PURPLE i just love it but when its BLUE i fall in love with my plant lol. this is a really old thread but i just wanted to say

Hmm, I was wondering. Why all the talk of 24/0, 18/6 hours of lighting when, during the summer on average the absolute maximum amount of light is only 14 hours. For instance in July sunrise is usually around 6:20 and sunset at 8:20. why would you add more light than 14 hours? I understand the 12/12 philosophy because in September the average amount of light is 12 hours and that signals flowering. That absolutely makes sense, but for veg why so much light? Why not 15 or 16 hours instead?

Another thing I was thinking: It seems to me everyone is forgetting about the amount of time in nature they are spending in darkness. If in the summer outdoors they are getting 14 hours of light max, then they are getting 10 hours of darkness. I think people are overlooking what might be happening in that lengthy period of dark that could be playing some roll in the plant's development.
