Why is it that in when growing outside moon light does not cause herms or any stress on a plant but when growing inside a small light leak can fuck plants up,, ive had leaks in my closet grows and rarely have any issues with hermis..

Because it is god's, will.

I honestly think people that have issues have bad genetics,,,

Its a great question, my outdoor grows great with no Herm's and not only is a full moon extremely bright..I have cars that drive by and use their brights on my dark road.. The lights definitely hit the garden.

Do you mind if I turn your thread into a place to worship baby Jeebus and crew?

I know right!! Same here,,
I read of this indoor grow where a small pin hole in the room shined on one branch and caused that branch to grow balls,, I'm no genius but I'm guessing people that have this problem are growin inferior genetics

sure, we are often told many things...light leaks cause hermies, nitrogen during flowering makes it stretch, you need high dosages of phosphorus and potassium during flowering, bud hardeners, flushing additives..
Been growing for yrs and yrs, and they are many things that in "theory" may, or may not happen, or be something that could occur, but in practicality/ the "real world"?
Well, just not in my experience.
I have the same experience as you, many times my plants are subjected to odd lights, VERY bright moon (on top of the mountain)
I think 90% of the time hermaphrodites are simply genetics.
I'd say higher than 90% but who's to say

Ive been growing for 21 years now,, and anytime ive grown indoors ive never had to seal my room of leaks,, any hermis ive had in the past got pitched with the quickness,, ive even deliberately light stress plants just to see if they'll herm out.. If they do,, their gone.. I only keep females that won't herm.. And doing this protects my breeding programs..

I've had hermied plants in multiple seasons in front of my outdoor garadge before. It stopped when i started pulling into my driveway with my headlights off.

Thanks good info there,,

Light leaks wouldn't cause herms in my garden, but they would delay onset of flowering and slow the whole process.

I do that so I don't wake the wife .

the moon. Its reflective light and intensity is pretty much not comparable to other sources of light. I got a new PC and in love with it today so bare with the copy and paste BS. But here is also a bit on Circadian Rhythms and why its hard to even compare outdoor plants with indoor photo growing. Or in reality just "trick" growing. This connection to the natural world plants and All living things have is more complex than humans may be able to ever fully comprehend. I personally believe not only the moon but earths subtle electricity field has MUCH more to do with it than is known. But its hard to use the moon card when comparing to other light sources. Outdoor plants are connected and in rhythm with all the natural world.

I've never had a plant hermie from lights. I regularly go in my grow room with lights off with my phone light to water them before lights on or to spray my plants that haven't grow buds yet. No hermies, I also go in there with my microscope (which obviously has a light) during lights off to check trichomes.

 

[cowboyferg]

I personaly believe that light doesn't cause hermies and the plant/weed being in outdoors ect.. adapt to the environment as many wild things do

 

[whitebb2727]

I have also grown with pin hole leaks. I have even opened my doors during lights out. No hermies.

Its genetics.

A lot of breeders now days have jumped in on the feminized seed bandwagon,, but are sellin female dominate hermies as fem seeds,, a true xx female will not hermi,, (genetics) a small hand full of breeders use only true xx females because of this,,

Reported for failing to name the handful of breeders.

Sometimes I turn on the light to take a picture or grab something I need. I've never had a problem.
