I think mine are sensing the change too. My clone tent wasn't running 100%, but in the last week they started growing pretty good.

Usually when something has a running light that can’t be turned off, I cut or drill the bulb out.
This thing is a little to pricey to be cutting into and has a warranty & if there is ever a problem I need the lights to read the codes . I’ve put layers of tape over it, could still see the light , put a cover on the back with the tape, could still see light . I made a silicone plug that that fit into the holes behind the face plate, nope. Could still see a light green glow.
So I cut down ear plugs n pushed as much as I could in the holes .
Zero light now (unless I broke the bulb jamming it in there)

I can't remember if he supported the theory or if it wasn't just thrown in there as to what some breeders look for in a male.

I'm still not convinced that tiny lights matter.
Then again, my last crop hermed big-time.
I'll shut up now...

I'm not into lights in the garden either. Those lit up power cord ends get taped up real good.

I think if you have a good stable plant , it doesn’t matter .I'm still not convinced that tiny lights matter.

If you are playing around with seeds n new genetics, your main room isn’t the place to be testing how stable n strong a plant is .
I will be running all clones in there at some point , but the few bumps over the past 2 months I need to run seeds for a little while So looking for the best I can do, I’ll keep the stress to the tents.
When I 1st setup this room , my CBD seeds tossed nanners @8 weeks , I figured it was my fault, I kept the clone of the plant I liked best . all the lights where removed . Power bar, co2 sensor, ac, weather station the co2 controller was moved out of the room. (Everything seems to have a green or red light) next run had no issues. 3rd run I over feed n pushed it hard, nanners , it’s been crossed 3 times now trying to up the terps n buzz .
That original plant was a very picky bitch,
I tried to make my HoneyStomper keeper (May she Rest In Peace) toss a stress nanner and she wouldn’t do it .
I’m always trying to up my yields , taking care of all the little things helps with the bigger stuff .

FWIW I'm on my 3rd mimosa male that I've flowered to end of life, and the 3rd to throw pistils at the very end.
It also can be seen on the same males when after flowered are then sent to reveg. What is observed is that if the male will revert, often they fizz out, they wig out and toss some pistils before going back to deep vegetative growth. Not throughout the entire plant, but only the top most clusters will see small packs of hairs. None of these pistils ever seem to take to pollen (sterile)
These might all be females that express male and not true males, but what can be shown through growing out progeny is that the babies do not suffer from overwhelming numbers of intersex. I found a few lowers in a few bubblys from the first male's offspring but no severe intersex.
I keep this male cause he's stout, roots a ton, smells like smarties candy and a nice breezy day and puts out huge flowers. It might be a girly boy but idgaf if all the babies come out dank.
Anyone working a mimosa male take it to end of life or revert it and see if you can reproduce what i've found from 100% of males from 1 Symbiotic pack.
The progeny from above mentioned males seem to be split male female as you'd expect from normal seeds. No skewed number of females have been shown from the limited data.

Green light isnt an issue. Plants dont respond to green light. I used to use a green led hunting light to enter room during lights out, no issues. But it has to be true green and not white light through green filters.
Either way sounds like you dont have to worry about it. Cheers

I was curious if anyone has used a male that threw pistils. Late flower I wouldnt trip much on but at week 2 of flower Im guessing it might not be good.
On to the next one I reckon.

Thumb tacks and a piece of panda cloth that you can flip up to view? Maybe a put a piece if transparent green film?

I'd pass on it were that early. I'm typically not too worried about anything happening late in the flowering cycle. I have yet to see males with pistils but have seen my fair share of late nanners.

A small section of tin foil taped over it should block all light

The problem is when blocking the front the light comes out the back n is a slight glow. I think I incased the bulbs in the plug . There is no light now .
@thenotsoesoteric
I know green light isn’t supposed to hurt anything. Personally I feel better when there is 100% no light . It cuts a variable out of the mix . I went as far to put a staging room before going into the room so you can enter under complete darkness.
Might be overkill, but then a 200mph + car is too.

I feel you. Why worry when you can eliminate possible problems. Its better to be safe than fully seeded!

Weird, I got an alert that you replied to my comment but it was Corey's comment.
Though I did have an avatar of Eastwood in that same outfit, maybe old RIU got confused, lol.
