lol, i feel that wake n bake. You are right dude, i wasnt saying you werent. It does have an influence on the stress factor of the plant. However, its a very small factor compared to how the plant grows once it sprouts. Thats where the stress factors really come into play with the male/female outcome. But like you said, if he really wants a male plant, the more stress, the better the chances. But really its still a 50/50 shot...
