Addressing Issues with HermaphroditismUpdated 2 months ago

Here’s how to address the situation:

Hermaphrodite Plants

• While feminized seeds should produce only female plants, stress factors can lead to hermaphroditism (plants showing both male and female characteristics). Common causes include:
  • Light Stress: Light leaks during dark cycles or extreme light intensity can cause stress.
  • Temperature Fluctuations: High heat or significant changes in temperature can trigger stress.
  • Nutrient Imbalance: Overfeeding or deficiencies can also contribute to hermaphroditism.
  • Genetics: Occasionally, even feminized seeds can show hermaphroditic traits due to genetics.

How to Prevent Future Issues:

• Maintain a consistent light schedule and avoid any light leaks during the dark period.
• Keep your environment within ideal temperature (68-78°F/20-26°C) and humidity (40-50%) ranges.
• Use high-quality, balanced nutrients and avoid overfeeding.
