IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP PLANT GROW INTO FEMALES..

something interesting i read in a back issue of high times i had laying around. there was a article that mentioned light poisoning. i guess what you do is for the first 3 weeks of bloom you turn the light on for one hour during the night cycle. any one hear of this or try it?

sounds like it would add stress? :S

well first let me say its written by soma in high times oct. 2001 issue. pg. 98 it says that with the unpredictable eviroment the plant feels like the world is ending or something so they do what they can to servive. and his quote is that a female will make a male branch that will fertilize all of them. he then goes on to say that since theres no males in the room there are no male chromosomes, so the seed wont contain male chromosomes. (just telling you what ive read.) thats what it says. so can i believe everything i read? might be worth a try with one plant. he then talks of another method but ill save that for another time if someone is intersted.

That is stressing the plant into being a hermie...making feminized seed. Anyone reading up on this ck out this FAQ http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-faqs...zed-seeds.html

:jointsmile: Bree

been reading my book by jorge cervantes and he says that these things will make more females.

increased nitrogen (first two weeks)
lower potassium (first two weeks)
lower temps
high humidity
more blue light
fewer hours daylight e.g. 14 hours.
less stress.

just thought i would update this. im just telling ya'll what ive read. i not telling you to belive it, make up your own mind. its all trial and erorr.

it may not be an ACTUAL female by the time you're done - but it'll darn well THINK it is! har har






but the truth is, no. sex is pre-determined. there's nothing you can do except not stress the plant, so it doesn't turn hermy on you. At least I think that's the deal. I'm new at this too, so I might be wrong.

that was actually tried and caused a hermie.
the hermie put a shot gun in her/his mouth and pulkled the trigger.
