I have read that using a light in the visible blue spectrum can help the plants decide that they want to be girlies.
I'm really curious about this too. Does anyone know how to convince seedlings to go female?
Use the search function of these forums...
This topic has been discussed about 1 or 2 months ago... great input on that thread. I think that the conclusion was that this is just a myth... bullshit.
Make the search, I'm sure you'll find it.
