Do you have a light meter to check the light? That seems awfully close but I realize there's a broad variety of opinions on lighting and that's off topic. Having done a few clones, stressed a few plants and a couple harvests I concur with the others that more likely than not it's the strain. I've gotten them too close and well it wasn't pretty but it wasn't a gender bender.
Miles Monroe Reviewed by Miles Monroe 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
