I think you would have been better off keeping the lights on and extending it an extra half hour at the end. I don't think them coming on an extra half hour early would harm them even if you didn't give them a full twelve hours of light that day. Since they were in darkness, and you turned on the light, and then returned them back to the darkness stage, hermie is a possibility. I don't know if doing it one time will bring you seeds though. Good Luck.

I agree with PassThatShit. If it was only a half hour early, I would've just left them on. Hey, the sun rose early that day. No prob! I hope you don't end up with any hermies from that. Defintely keep an eye on them tho. You can keep them pretty much under control if you keep on top of it. Good luck.

Hey Green Frog, LOL

You're the first one to call me Pass That Shit. Most people just say "Pass That" cause I guess they don't want to curse :thumbsup:

GreenFrog is right on, the sun doesn't rise and fall at the same time everyday.

messing up with timer and sun ON and OFF could cause production of hermies? even if u messing up with clone, that is cut from female mother plant?
how come sex of the plant could be affected by light?

sometimes i open my door 15min early and clean the bulb,reflector,mylar and such and leave the door open until the light comes on water her and close it up no problems here

Cutting back on the dark period is not the problem. They don't need a full 12 hours of darkness to flower properly. The problem is when there's a light leak during the duration of the dark period. If you don't want ANY seeds, keep the growing room pitch black while the light is off. I even put tape on my electric heater just to cover the glow for the LED's. The darker, the better.

Please, people. I know you are probably smokin' some real kick ass shit and you are stoned...and maybe its hard to see clearly through the cloud of smoke...but (R)s just don't pop out of no where. My name is TheGreenFOG....FOG...as in heavy condensation that f--ks up driving at dusk & dawn. Damn, I knew I should have gone with TheGreenMist! I'm going to have to change my avatar to include a green type of FOG...anyone have any extra avatars laying around...with FOG in it?

Sorry for the rant. You are forgiven. I still love you.

Various types of "stresses" can create hermie traits to show themselves in a plant. Some of these stresses are:

- too hot or too cold resevoir
- too hot or too cold environment
- over-nuting
- excessive LSTing, Topping, or pruning
- irregular photoperiods (messing with the lights)
