I keep seedlings on 24h of light to keep temps stable.

I read somewhere that 24 hrs of light encourages males, whaddya think?

I haven't seen an issue with m/f ratios. I think to get to the point where you would notice a difference, your sample size would have to be huge- like, a hundred plants at a time to see anything statistically significant.

I keep light on my seedlings 24 hrs and I have always had a greater than 50% female.

Thanks Dutch Pimp. So what have we learned?

imbibition
testa
ratticle
hypocotyl
cotyledon
abscision
dicots
etiolate
de-etiolation
skotomorphogenesis

Should we be using these words in mixed company? Anyways, study up. Test nest Tuesday.
