I would almost be willing to bet its the strain. The light is pretty damn close though for a 600. I run 8" with 400 and i have to keep a close eye when its that close. Now if you are running ducting and inclosed hood, thats a total different story. If your temp is under 85, i think the most that would happen is a little light bleaching. Maybe someone will pop in with a little more info for ya cause thats about all i got haha.
pushit Reviewed by pushit on . hermaphrodite problem? I was told that my plants, that are clones, are hermaphroditing because they are too close to my 600 watt HPS light. I have no light leaking in the room, my temperature is always between 73 - 83 degrees even right next to the light. Is the light being too close causing this or not. I need some help figuring out why they are hermaphroditing. Rating: 5
