Think I miss understood..speed up sexing..IDK about fresh clone but a 24-36 hr dark period before 12 on.is faster to see sex on plants.couple days.. again no facts to give...forget everything I said..I can't take it back..think I ate a bad gummy.Never done it but seen a page about it..it's all the same time just split up...they say it's fine..but honestly I just waisted your time babbling about something I say I saw somewhere and have note facts to back it up...lmao.. interested tho..
Ah, yes you can speed up sexing by putting the plant on 12/12 or 11/13 for 3-4 days and it will show sex and they will stretch out some. Males will show first ( in my experience) then back on 18/6 or 24 hrs will re-vert back to veg. It may take a while 2-3-4 weeks and the plant will grow trident leaves at first as they keep growingYou can’t speed up sexing. The plant will only show its sex when it’s mature and the plant is on its own timeline.
I think that's backwards. 12 on 8 off won't cause flowering. The opposite mightTake your cuts and root them on 24h light. Once they have roots go 12/12 and wait. I’ve heard of guys rushing a flower cycle by reducing the dark period but keeping 12 hour lights on. 12on 8off I think it was? If you add I’d up you’ll gain 4 hours a day which becomes a full day every week so you might see sex a few days early.
Yes, trying to speed up sexing. I've accomplished that.
Let me clear something up though. I'm order to flower, the plant needs a certain amount of uninterrupted darkness. If you don't have 12 hours darkness it won't flower. (average strain, some will not need quite as much.) my question was simply if sexing the light so say 6 on 12 off should make it flower, correct? My understanding is that the length of light doesn't matter as long as it's not longer than the dark period. That's the theory behind planet ito, right?
Am I missing something?
That *was* my point. The plants need that 12 hours of dark or no flowering.Your missing a bit but here’s an article that looks like it would help you

12 hrs darkness for the plant to start to produce the hormones required for flowering. We block some of these (I can’t remember the name of the one) when we use silver thiosulfate to create feminized pollen on female plants. Causing them to produce male sacks lacking male plant chromosomes. But it’s the darkness that makes the plant create the chemicals to trigger flowering. That’s all I think you missed really
