i have one at 3 weeks into flowering, and due to heat (i know cause i have done this strain 4x in a row with no problems) it has started to hermie..i can see seed pods starting to form, but they are still green. They are not pollen sacs, i can tell the difference. the question is, is there anyway to save it by early detection? will this affect my others? can i cut away the seed pods?

When you break the bud open you'll likely find nanners in there. This type of herm should be ok, just keep it away from the fan, and if you notice sacs, kill it.

If your plant has been growing in high temps its whole life, you might be fine... But still keep an eye out for any bananas or seed sacks.
If you are worried, try take exchange the hot air with cool air. Make sure the hot air LEAVES the room

Well I got a 6' vortex fan sucking huge inlets for air two fans my lights are only burning at 400w 2 of them and ya they have been growing their whole life's rather high temps for periods of time they seem like they like it they say the climate for them is sunny mediterranean so I assume they can handle these temps but I'm scared what's going to happen once I kick them up to 1000w do I need a bigger vortex maybe ?also temps out side are rather hot as fk until sun goes down then it cools off a bit more

sounds like you need an A/C with two 1000watt lights

If there's seeds growing you have pollen sacks somewhere. If you pollen sacks then any plant in room is likely to be pollinated. Have any pics and how old are the plants? grown from seed or clone?

what could it be mate? This is like the 5th thread where someone got a hermie. It's like its hermie season up in here and I can't have any hermies in my garden. Kind of getting paranoid.

Its probably not a true Hermie and the seeds would be female.

Any other stresses? 90 is fine. May get a little fox tailing.

I've got some outdoors that started flowering in 100+ temps.

I know people that run high 80's low 90's canopy temp.

The only time ive seen a hermie is from re-vegged plants that go back into flower or plants that fucked themselves and carry some of it to its offspring. As whitebb said, people run hot canopies with no issues. Ive been pheno hunting with an 87f canopy / 82f ambient for a little over a year now with no issues.

Haha very true I was going off of what I did last time but the only difference is I did it in my basement before with no temp problems I just clicked them up to 1000w to see what's gunna happen with temp but I really thought that the cooler air from out side would at least keep the temp at par but it's not doing what i want haha so ac it may be

Honestly i don't think many people can run 2 1kw in the same room without a/c unless you run it at night or live somewhere very very cold
