Hi.
New to this forum and this is my first question.
Im growing more than 4 years now indoor,i have 2 1.2m tents(2setups),until a year ago i was growing with hps duel spectrum lights for 3 years without a single problem….my choice of nutrients are advanced nutrients.
A year ago i started using led lights(320 watt led light fixture).in one tent i have 2 fixtures and in the other one i have one.i must say that i didnt change anything beside the lights(from hps to leds)!
In the 2 first grows i have suffered from hemaphrodites plants in the tent with the 2 leds fixtures and a little bit of seeds in the other tent, And now in the 3rd growth also some of the plants are hemaphrodite,i must say that im using branded feminized seeds from many brands in my grows,and the hermaphroditism happened no matter what kind of seeds i used….
Want to mention again that i never never had a problem with hps lights….the problem began when i moved to leds….i had no electric shutdowns at all,and all the gear that im using is flawless.
Im very frustrated from this and i will appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Are you reusing your soil? How do the plants look otherwise, necrotic lesions anywhere? Yellow leafs at the bottom?

That's what I was getting at. Plants dont use as much nutrients as they do in HID lighting.
It's worth noting that not all LED are equal.

What lighting system are you using?
It's possible that your lighting too powerful at closer intervals and this is stressing your plants to hermi.

Environment, light quality and proximity have alot to do with how the plants metabolize nutrients and ability to undergo photosynthesis.

What are you using for timers ? Your positive there’s not a hidden/unknown setting programmed maybe accidentally when you set up the leds
