How well do grow tents protect your plants from light leaks ?

good thing about tents is the outside is well protected from powdery mildew : )

I don’t sell, so not an issue for me. I guess if you’re selling and have weak genetics I would worry as well. I never said light leaks can’t hurt, I said most people make a far bigger deal about it than necessary. If you’re a commercial operation you don’t grow in a tent to start, if your black market and your customers care about a few seeds whatever. If your bud is riddled with seeds your problem is not a light leak.

Blaming the tent pinholes is just an easy cop out for folks that stressed their plants, use questionable genetics, or just not paying attention. Even when i have found seeds on my indoor there have been very few. It takes total negligence to wind up with a fully seeded plant or tent
Some folks go as far as to blame a .2watt led indicator for their herms

Did you sit in the dark tent for 10 minutes first? Be surprised at what you see after your eyes fully adjust.

Seriously....what amount of stress is going to trigger male flowers to grow on a female plant?
I know "they" say it does.
BUT
I can't say the same from my own experience. Quite the contrary, actually.
Revegging due to light leaks, sure, been there.

If a plant herms, it's genetics, period.
The ability in the plant is there, it's a herm.
That's not to say the seeds it came from are bad, at all.

Far as I know, currently, the only way to distinguish a female cannabis plant from a hermaphrodite one, is through the expression of it's flowers.
Environment or "stress" may trigger a certain flower response.
Same reason for stress testing.
There are female plants that'll never herm, whatever the stress or environment, so what about them?

And, before someone says "Rhodelization" I suggest considering what distinguishes a female plant from a hermaphrodite or male plant in the first place.
