It is a complex process occurring in higher plants, algae, as well as bacteria such as cyanobacteria. Photosynthetic organisms are also referred to as photoautotrophs.

Very true, I also studied Science in High School... ha ha just buggin ya bro.
When sexing your plants it is key to make sure your dark period is a true dark period. If light leaks in, yes it triggers photosynthesis (the conversion of light into energy) and the plant will think it is still summer and not begin the flowering process. If you already have a couple of males, then you know you have nothing to worry about with light leaks.
For your next grow try this... when you force flowering turn off the lights for a full 48 hours (not even an interruption to take a little peek!!). This will make them show sex quicker, works for me everytime.Peace
notsonuts, wikkipedia is not a reliable source of info my friend, a lot of that crap is written by people who think they know what they're talking about...hint hint
