i wish there was just a clear cut answer as to why this is happening to me. i just need to fix it and keep going but until then idk what to do. should i change the ph level im feeding my plants? i have a soil tester and it was reading really acidic on the fox farms soil but im not seeing any nutrient burn or under feeding so im stumped
I need help, I'm debating if I wanna quit growing, I keep getting hermi issues
- Thread starter Callz
- Start date
I have windows open to let fresh air move around the house
its in a storage room that the food is growing and spare bed rooms down the hall that the weed is growing so could that even affect it at that point? the veggies are sealed but the weed grow is pulling air from a hall way (25 foot ducting) with a window open
LOL I know but if i can stop it from happening i will

Completely disinfect/clean your grow area. Walls, floors, fans, ducts, lights, carbon filter/cover, anything you think could have possibly have been contaminated with pollen.
Obtain good genetics and don't stress them.

Oh hell yeah that gas is all throughout the home...question is whether or not it's at levels that could trigger hermie. Just to ask, do you do any sadistic training to the plants during flowering?

Training even HST in flower doesn't cause herms. If it did people wouldn't supercrop.

True but it could be a compounding element? Im leaning towards the ethylene gas myself. Just need all the answers...we dont have pics, we dont live near him to inspect the situation

When the light goes out, look at the LED's. There have been reports of the LEDS staying dimly lit even while the timer has the light turned off.

He continued to grow without a full clean down, he sprayed his plants with water but never did a full clean. Pollen could be anywhere. In the fans, lights, etc.

Stray pollen wouldnt cause hermie...hes dealing with nanners on females from an unknown vector

My bad I keep thinking he's getting seeds even though I'm reading it as nanners. Its either environmental or grower related stress if he's eliminated genetics as a cause.

Nearby neighbor grew a huge plant late last summer into late fall. He was keeping his outdoor string lights on which prevented it from going into flower. Once he decided to shut them off the plant started to show its sexy balls almost immediately. He left it out there for 3 weeks after that. I was just happy it was the third week of November when he trashed it. Imagine if he'd done it around the Solstice the plant would have pollenated our whole neighborhood.

I mean I've seen old hemp on creek banks from old gorilla grows. Guys leave their windows open and suck in pollen.
its prolly some genetics that cant handle 78F degree average with lights at 800 uolms with 500ppm feeds in fox farms ocean forest soil... so is it some lazy breeder that cant fem seeds right? or am i doing something stupid wrong? because honestly plants shouldn't have any problem in the environment they are in so why do you think this is happening to me?

It happens it's why I have filters on all air coming into my house and grow. All ot takes is one asshole.Nearby neighbor grew a huge plant late last summer into late fall.
