i have already won the idiot of the year award for 2009

ok so i'm ripping out my hair over what in the hell is causing my 8 prime "i know there female" clones to pop balls... 15 minutes ago i went into my flower den to investigate... so i'm looking all around the door way into the den... its ok, then i turn around and i'm looking all around the room, i finally notice the red light on the power strip glowing away like a mini little sun... confusing the gender of my girls... i'm pissed and happy at the same time... my first grow suffered because of this too...



thank you, and fun...

Dam, you got me going to check for those in my room now lol

yeah its like the red light is so natural looking on a power strip you forget that is a actual light that could harm your girls.

WTF, that little ass red light could do that? im 4 hours away from my flowering girls and i have 3 power strips with little mini suns FLASHING AWAY DURING MY DARK CYCLE GRRRR lol

when all the post and videos i have read and watched are correct when they emphasize ABSOLUTELY NO LIGHT they mean it LOL!

i put tape over the light... it runs the ocsillating fan and co2 generator, light mover, oh yeah the scrubber... all 24-7

are you sure.... that little red light is prolly not the cause of your balls droping I'm almost sure of it. I would check into it further because unless its really close to your plants it shouldn't be a problem. what else is wrong with the picture?

the room is only 5x5x7 the strip itself hangs top bud level about 3 ft off the ground...the plants that are closest to the strip were the first to show pods the ones furthest are still okay so far... it is the culprit... and if it isn't i'll probably stick to out- door growing j/k never give up!

i'll post pics later when the light s come on

It is too late now, but I am curious...if he had used the banana trick at the start, could it have countered the effect of the mini suns? (Banana trick: lay a banana near the base of each plant. supposedly, as it deteriorates, it gives off a gas than feminizes the plant.)

i have heard about that but i'm not to crazy about rotting vegitation in my room, i have heard of some sort of additive that reverses hermies do you happen to know?

Nah, I don't know. All I know of is the banana trick, which is something I will definitely do, if I grow anything. If you've smelled rotting bananas, it's not too bad. Certainly better than the smell of spoiled milk, or something that has soured. There is supposed to be something that seeds are treated with that feminizes them, but I doubt you can use it on plants. My guess is it's made from the same thing in the bananas, lol. Sorry about your girls. Gender confusion can suck.

yeah dude i dont think that little red light could do that shit....i mean maybe b/c it is on all the time...but my friend goes into his flowering room whenever he wants lol with lights a blazing and it doesnt do shit..

time will tell it is an old school power strip and the light isn't a LED its an actual little light bulb when i'd seen it in the dark it illuminated the room a tiny bit... i know its okay to go in during the dark period but a constant bit of light i hope that what it is. pic 1 the suspect... you cant see the glow when the lights on... pic 2 the victims...
