sorry, gotta disagree with the TOTAL darkness comment ... constant changing of light cycles, etc, will cause stress, resulting in hermies sometimes, but walk outside at night ... is it totally dark ? .. is there no moonlight ?? ... I only post this, so someone doesnt think a problem was caused by a small bit of stray light ... their hermies would most likely be caused by some other reason ... I have never had a hermie in over 30 years of growing, and only two males in all that time, so I figure Im either doing something right, or I am the luckiest bastard in the universe ... (could be) ... :smokin:
