... Redditification of expertise.

(edited for alliteration)

Redditification - great term, I like it - I'm swiping it at first opportunity! :LOL:
(edit) and amazingly agile aliteration!

On topic:
I'm still new, but I know that I have a few pin-hole leaks, and the whole front zip (remedied).
Last grow I hermmed in week 7 or 8 IIRC.
I'm ending week 9 of flower on this current grow - no herms yet.
But I'm running my lights at 11.5 on / 12.5 off - I think that little step back from the edge of 12/12 made a difference.

12-1/2 hour dark period is the absolute minimum for me. Even longer is common.

I've never had herm issues, always assumed it was because I had solid genetics, but you have me wondering now about light periods as well.

so far no hermies ( been scanning ;) )after that issue occurred last week I def dont have light leaks or equipment putting non green in the room cause this is a pre made room with outdoor grade doors and all lights that are non grow lights are green lights so I can foliar spray or go into room without light leak/issues .

My pulse hasn’t shown anything but 0% besides when I fucked up on the timer last week thankfully . I was a goober enough I had my pulse to allow 5% vs 1% alert on it that’s why I didn’t notice it for the first day . That’s been corrected lol

I've seen some crazy fire out of runs using as little as 9 hours of light, but they seem to take longer to mature. I've been considering 10 hours for a while.

(weekly updates ) checking 1-4+ hours day for hermies and any issues or training/de-leafing while scanning.

no hermies. ;) just overly buds that are breaking over even on zipping them and bambooing them. Rock baby.. def makes me a happy camper

One day, no problem. To watch out for: little continuous leaks from outside, is big problem.

Others probably have figured this out already - I noticed it on the beginning of this round:

I turned ON the room lights, stepped into the tent, zipped it and timed 5 minutes off looking for light pins.
Turn OFF the room lights, turned ON the tent lights - found more that way.

Black gaffers tape (for now) fixed it...

Gaffer's tape is one of my favorite things about modern life. I love the pinholes, they're like stars!
