Ed Rosenthal, another growing heavyweight, completely disagrees.
There are some heavy-hitting growers on this site. Hell - Jorge may be one of them! So I question whether Jorge has as much experience as everyone on RIU COMBINED!
but since we are using anecdote instead of real evidence, I find no pattern to females vs. males due to veg. light cycle - all else being equal.
To OP - if you are worried that 24/0 may cause more males - then use 18/6. But i think you'll find any of the following: 24/0, 20/4 or 18/6 works well for you. To save a few bucks and give your system a chance to cool off - go with 18/6 or 20/4. If fastest possible growth is desired then it is hard to beat 24/0.
I mean light cycle control is one of the few benefits to growing indoors so we may as well use it to our advantage. I mean its not like nature replicates 12/12 for a solid three months either.
