Light leaks and photoperiods

[johnb1963]

i can you that the light leak in your pictures has no affect on photo plants. In fact, your pictures are from the outside of your tent with your grow light on. grow lights powerful. with your tent closed and the grow off, your typical household light, will not penetrate the zipper gaps.

Last year I had 2 bag seed plants that were raised and flipped in a tent then kicked out of the tent due to space limits. I put them in a garden cart and wheeled them into the garage in the evening after they had their 12. There were windows in the garage that leaked significant light. No hermies from those plants. Did have some minor hermie in the tent though. Go figure. I just treat them like a well fed weed and not worry about it. Now I have 8 seeds for next year.

My OCD. I sometimes wonder if that “problem” was termed by messy people to make them feel better. I hear it all the time when I try to be overly neat.

I actually put these up in the room block the tent area of the room from the light from the window in the bedroom also bought Blacked out curtains to put up easy to open and close i got the blacked out curtains from Giant Tiger for $7 Cad Each.

Even tho my tent has no issues with light i still put them up and have worked good

I was around a lot of pot and those growing it in So CA, late 70s, graduating in 77. I honestly can’t recall the term hermies or the equivalent. But then my memory isn’t what it used to be. It wasn’t until now when I started to setup my first grow that I’ve heard it countless times. Some of the old timers I’ve talked to said its in the genetics and if you have good stock, not known to have that happen, you probably couldn’t make it happen.
Looking on the SeedFinder database the quantity of strains is mind blowing. I could probably count all the strains we smoked back then on my fingers and maybe toes. So much competition now to make super weed, wether rec or med.

My guess is multiple specific environmental and genetic discrepancies that cause hermies. Temp swings and specific light frequencies are my thoughts on this. Either way, shit happens and the only good seeds are the wanted ones. Weird in = weirder out lol
