1 1/2 year of hemefrodite problems….

[Zippo2005]

Hello.
Ive been growing for 5 years,for the first 3.5 years i have never had hermaphrodite problems,ever!but for the last 1.5 years in all the 4 grows that i did, in every grow i had hermaphrodite plants,not in all the plants,but lets say i have 6 plants in the tent,2 will be hermaphrodite,and in all that 5 years i never changed nothing,the same room,same growing tents same fertilizers same water same lights never changed nothing!
The hermaphrodite problem came from nowhere and it aint leaving me for 1.5 year now.
Im desperate….i thought about everything,dont know what changed,dont know what i did wrong…im doing the same things for 5 years now.
I know that hermaphrodite problems come from stress,but my plants arent stressed from nothing,so i will very appreciate your help,i need help,any advice or ideas of things that i didnt thought about…..
Thank you.

More information is necessary.

Too much feed is a stress problem
Too little air movement is a stress problem
Too hot is a stress problem
Poor watering habits is a stress problem
Pest are a stress problem
I could go on and on but to make a blanket statement saying it’s not anything you did seems illogical
As mentioned fill us in with pics of what you do?

Have you been growing the same clones and/or genetics the whole 5 years, or did you make any substantial changes in that dept.?

And what about your lighting?

 

[Rurumo]

What seeds are you using?

It happened in no less than 10 seeds companies and strains,so i think its not the seeds

Im feeding the same all the years,the air mivement is the same,i dont have heating problems..(there ac in the room)

If you're running different genetics than you were pre-herm, then that's already one potential reason.

So you think that in 3.5 years i did everything ik and in the last 1.5 years i dont?dont think so…

 

[PopAndSonGrows]

You just have to narrow it down:

What are all the things you do differently than you did pre-herm?

Same seeds companies…..i dont thing its related to the seeds cause it happened also with the same seeds from the same package and also did not

Okay that's a fair assumption.

What else then? Did you go from 100w cheapo lights too 1000w HPS or anything drastic?

No,same hps lights(600w)

Nothing that i can think of…..thats what driving me crazy

Is it a true hermaphrodite showing balls and pistils........or nanners that appear late in flower (rodelization)?

 

[PopAndSonGrows]

Nanners does not = herm, to my understanding

Any equipment that may have aged out , bulbs , controllers doing wacky things , thermometer/hygrometer giving incorrect results , ph/tds/ec meters calibrated correctly ? Any possible light leaks ?

Ive made seed before with a high ppm nano silver & Every seed I got hermied.

Both and sometimes just nanners under the flower and in late flower some nanners in the flower

Everything is calibrated,no light leaks
