Light leaks and delayed flowering

[magiccannabus]

I recently discovered that light was reflecting in through the ventilation system from my veg side into my flowering side. I think this has seriously delayed finish. I'm on day 59 now, and they calyxes on some of my plants have barely started to swell. I fixed the leaks, but will they catch up quickly? Or is this going to mean they need a great deal longer? My situation is such that I can't really afford to wait for much longer, but they're also not finished enough.

I moved one of the plants that hermied into isolation in another room and put it on 10/14 light. No idea how fast that will finish her.

Also, if you have a plant hermie from stress, can you clone/revegg it and get that trait to go dormant again? Or is it a lost cause?

Hi m8, are u growing from seed? if so are they feminised seeds? If thats the case, i`d let the hermie pollinate itself and you`ll have more feminised seeds..And imo, i`ve found that when it goes hermie, you might as well just get rid unless you actually want seeds. Putting back on veg is just gonna confuse her more. I can`t answer your Q about them taking longer, just make sure you keep an eye out for more hermies..

I am growing from seeds this time around, but I am using a perpetual grow setup, so I can run from clones too. My seeds are not feminized as far as I can tell. Next year's outdoor might be a good use for those seeds. I saved and labeled them just in case.

Problem with that is you have a good chance of the seeds turning into hermie plants too..

around here there's so much wild hemp, growing sensi outside is truly impossible. Even indoor grows around here sometime get filled with hemp pollen. It's a pain really. Had I not spotted the nanners I would have thought that was the cause and maybe never investigated the light leak. If the next generation hermies and gets some seeds, that's ok. I won't put them too close to each other lol

Is your hermie sprouting nanners thought the nugs? I had a plant like that but I clipped every nanner I had and It came out pretty good still. From what I know it will sprout nanners because of light leaks (like you said you have) or Cannabis has a tendency to try to repoduce at any cost. SO that being said it's kind of like it''s last fight for like to repoduce offsping. I actually got a few seeds out of it and planted them and they are not worth it. They are super slow growing and they are super small. Waste of time really.

Where did you get the seeds and are you 100% sure that its what the say it is? If its a friend they might not even know. They lookm delicious. Keep up the good work.

The "Sativa" Trainwreck X Sour Diesel only has a few nanners here and there. I pluck them when I can spot them. The seeds I got out of both of these are large and finished, suggesting I've had a hermie problem for a while now.

I would not say I am 100% sure, but every seed he gave me grew to match the characteristics of the strain he said it would be. His connection had some really amazing nug too, so I think it's legit. Some of it had my seeing swirling colors and walking at odd angles lol
