Hemaphrodite for a year,please help

[PJ Diaz]

But its a fact that it started when I switched lights..
Dont know..

What else did you change at that time? Are you sure the lights are completely off for the duration of the dark cycle? Usually full blown hermies are a result of genetics not stress. Stress will usually just cause a few nanners.

The main reasons for Hermaphrodites is light leaks and stress

The main reason for hermies is genetics! Not light or light leaks.

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 sure the lights fully turning off?

I'd go inside with the lights off and make sure it's off fully. And why you're in there check for lights leaks.

Also what strain and where'd you get it?

Cut a few holes in your tent and let me know how you get on then

I don't even have my tent closed.. Light leaks cause re-veg not hermies! Bro-science!

Did you also switch to flower nutrients?

Stress and genetics cause hermies. There's lots of different kinds of stress, and light leaks are one of the big ones.

They won’t flower because they won’t have a dark cycle. Don’t think anyone’s saying that stress can’t cause nanners to show, what we’re saying is that it’s largely based on genetic predisposition.

So you think LED is causing hermies?

I really don't believe light leaks cause hermies! So, we'll just have to disagree.

My room lights up like a Christmas tree at lights out with my sensors, power bars, fans etc. no hermies here.

I do not jump to conclusions Mr. Beanbrain

Can you show us some pics of your current grow and room?

What’s the stress from you think?

Relationship issues is my guess.
