True females and light leaks

[MrBomDiggitty]

Are there "true females" which do not turn hermaphrodite if exposed to light leaks, heat stress, or other common types of environment that would induce sex change?

If my ladies have been exposed to light leaks for one or two nights in the first two weeks of flower, where and when would I look for signs of nanners?

I think you should be fine, but keep an eye on them, and dont mess up any more

im under construction right now, so I'm trying to not seal things off til work is done. maybe i should seal off anyway

 

[Ziggaro]

Yes, there are. They are very very VERY rare, though. Something like 1/1000. They are typically sought out to make "true" feminized beans.

i left a cfl on in my flower room for two days straight and never saw a herm. bs 2.2 x grape krush and fem og kush.

woah if leaving a cfl on in there for 2 days didnt do nuthing, then im not trippin off the cfl leakin thru the cracks for two days. veg cab has been relocated. leaks should be non existant from here on out. ill update thread if i get a hermie

 

[Wait...What?]

im convinced the light leak thing is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overblown. i've seen outdoor plants grown under a street light. there's nothing absolute about plants. its always about the ratio. the proportion. the differential. and an outdoor pot plant wont hermie just because the moon was full.

and before you post that indoor growing is somehow different from outdoor growing, NOT TO THE PLANT IT ISNT. the plant only knows up from down and light from dark.

I was convinced too. This happened to me yesterday, this female cutting came from an EXTREMELY stable mother as well.

I almost cried

Does this mean my cuts off this lady might as well be useless?

EDIT: This is not caused from a light leak. There is no explainable reason for this.

Ehmm... Some plants are very prone to light leaks and will hermie.

I thought there was no explainable reason for my entire crop herming either. That is till I got in the cab and noticed a small red light on my powerstrip lighting up things. To confirm I grew another identical batch of clones under the same conditions minus the power strip and never had another herm
