I'd say the 3rd set of real leaveswhat exactly signifies the switch from the seedling phase to the veg phase? +rep

I would say after a week or 2 from breaking ground will be veg..I call it veg when my plants have a second node and fan leaves..

preciate it! +rep
everything i have ever read says 24/0 produces more males, while 18/6 produces more females... one of the many factors such as humidity, heat, types of nutes etc that determine the plants sex..I do a 24/0 for at least one month after germination. As soon as I see the water leaves show I consider it veg state.
BTW you'll get a high % of F like this too.

light dont produce males or females, it genetics.

so dose a longer/shorter veg determine greater/weaker potency?

Not necessarily. But, the veg stage is designed for growth, not budding. If you planning on putting the plant into flowering early (12/12), do not expect a lot of "stash". Leaving in veg longer will only promote a better turnout, however there are a few strains that react negatively when veg'ing for too long.

longer the veg, bigger the plant, (assuming you have enough lighting) the more bud you get, right?

Generally, yes. Some strains do not like vegging for too long though (mainly sativa strains, primarily of course)

You have to experience it I guess.
All I know is if you use a warm flouro and a soft flouro right on top of the leaves moving them up daily, you will get more girls. That's a fact jack! My last grow was 9 beans, 9 girls. This grow is a 12/12 from seed and don't really like it because of the M to F ratio.Prior to that I've grown maybe 5 other times and always the same result. I have not grown a male until I began this 12/12 from seed. Take it for what it is worth. Just have to try it.

I have to call bullshit on that one. Send me a bean that you think is a M and I'll make it a F. I don't believe that and never will as long as I am doing it the way I've always done it. Maybe I've been 'lucky' ? 50 beans, 50 girls. No bullshit. Try it for yourself and see.
there have been many tests done that prove the opposite.... i knew someone who got 90-95 % females off of regular seed consitantly..
