Hello PoohCat21,

A hermie plant means that it carries both sexes. This can cause problems for growers who are not interested in seed production because the plants will pollinate themselves. As far as light leaks, I have never experienced a plant turning hermie from it but I did notice a much longer flowering period, than with total darkness. As far as photoperiods go a 12/12 light cycle will induce flowering. For veg, I run 24 hr light.

First time grower-embarassing question :o :o Ok, I'm really embarassed to have to ask this, but this is my very first time and I'm trying to learn, but what is a hermie? hermaphrodite? Does it mean the plant has no sex? I guess that's bad from what I've read, but could someone explain why? I didn't even want to ask, cause I look like an idiot, but I want to do this right. I read that leaking light into my closet during the dark period could cause this, is this true? And one more thing, what is the best light/dark ratio? Thanks to Rating: 5
