I agree with Fencewalker that I am not trying to duplicate outdoor growing conditions. If I were, my plants would be dead at this time of year. Outdoor plants have to spend energy searching for food. I don't want that. I force feed them through immediately available nutrients in the root zone, and through the stomata of the leaves when I foliar feed (another thing that doesn't happen outdoors). Also I do not want to reproduce the 100 degree, or 40 degree temperatures that are outdoors, since both severely slow growth. I also don't want my plants to have to be stressed with pests and acid rain like they do in their "natural" environment.

I am not reproducing natural growing methods. I am taking the things that are known to be needed by MJ plants, and improving on them or maximizing them as cannot be done in natural growing environments.

I find it very hard to believe that eliminating veg periods produces more females. I've heard it before, but nobody can show me. Show don't tell. Anyway, what ever happened to trying to duplicate outdoor growing conditions?

An MJ plant is never "ready to flower". It does exactly what it's told by the sun (or lights) and will only start flowering when the sun or the master tells it to. If the master wishes, this could be immediately upon sprouting or several years after sprouting.

The 24/0 debate continues. Most people who have tried both 24/0 and 18/6 contend that 24 hr lighting inhibits root growth. Regardless of what number "C" the MJ plant is, many people have reported that their plants seem to do better with at least a little dark period. Anyway, I can find arguments and reports either way. Do a side by side experiment and decide for yourself.

One thing cannot be argued: the longer you veg the higher the yield, unless you don't do things right, like let the plant get root bound. You can eliminate veg completely and get fewer buds sooner, or veg for awhile and get more buds later. Kinda evens out either way.

I heard of this on another forum, and after thorough research, it seems to be an interesting way to grow and one that greatly benefits micro growers or others concerned with space/stealth. Feedback anyone? Rating: 5
