Hey all. I hope I'm not asking to many questions here. Sorry if I am. I'm just freaked out because yesterday the room my grow tent is in had a door left open and light got into the room for about an hour or a little more. Not a lot of light but there was definitely a little leak. My tent was mostly closed but it did have a crack or two light could sneak into. Anyway,

1. Can you guys explain how and when a plant will start to hermie? I want to know things like

2. if a plant is more likely to hermie in earlier stages of flower, middle or later stages? Or is a plant just as likely to herm at any stage? (especially from a small light leak for an hour or two) Mine are starting their 5th week of flower in a 10 week cycle.

3. Or can it just as easily herm at any stage?

4. I'd like to know what causes a plant to start to herm? In other words, is it because the plant receives light during the dark cycle? If so, generally how much light does a plant need during it's 12 hour dark cycle to make it herm? Will a couple hours of non direct sunlight make them herm?

5. Are there other reasons a plant will herm that I, as a grower, have to worry about? If so, what? is it still good if hermed?

6. IF my plants start to herm, when will I notice and what signs should I look for?

7 IF a plant starts to herm, is that plant screwed? Can it still be grown out and smoked? Or just thrown in the garbage along with my tears?

8. Lastly, how do you guys keep your rooms/tents cool in the summer? It's getting in the 80's here in CO and when my lights come on, blowing 80 degree air into the tent does noting to cool it down.

Thanks SO much for your help to all this that answer any and all of these questions.
