absolutely not....

if anything it will fuck them up and turn them hermie, stick with a natural light cycle.
24/0 or 18/6. obviously 24/0 is not a natural light cycle, but many people use it and it doesn't mess them up. but fucking with the light cycle will not ensure a female in the least bit.

I wouldn't use any less than 18 hours of light a day for the veg cycle. Go any lower and you may risk hermies or pre-mature flowering.

cycles 18/6 , 20/4 & 24/0 or between 18h-24h at day but what cycle u start or choose, stay with that dont change the cycle what u choose!!!

then flow is 12/12 i think u know that... i use 20/4 or 24/0 always. only once i use 18/6 but the grow is slowly then ( not slowly, its normal ) but 20/4 or 24/0 the grow is faster.
