No it woul only seed the crop a bit. Left over pollen doesnt form sacs or nanners just seeds.

Let me rephrase my question bc now you are splitting hairs. But this isnt my thread. I meant, would a hermied crop affect future crops? But I'm not trying to hijack a thread three time ha

Yes, if the seeds came from the hermie.

Are you using feminized seeds?

I am indeed. Aware that genetics aren't as strong as Regs but I don't have the time to start 10 regs to be left with a potential 2 or 3 fems and bin the rest come 12/12 time.

Try using regular seeds... they are less likely to hermie

I have in the past.. some UGORG strains and a couple of rare ones but planting 10+ and repotting, feeding them for 5 weeks to then throw 6 away isn't feasible. I would do Regs if I had the facilities to take and nurture the cuttings.

I run a single 400w HPS and I use a 450m3/h RVK150A1 systemair Fan.

I use this on an SMS Fam speed controller.

This allows me to set my temp at 24C and the controller speeds up or slows down the fan to keep the desired temp.

I Intake Cold air from my soffits Of my attic space and dump my hot air into my attic which is well ventilated. (Obviously carbon filtered)

This allows my fan to run almost at 10% during cold days to keep the room at 24C and flat out during the summer to maintain 24C.

I too run my lights at night.


When I utilised a 600w pre 2012 I used an air cooled reflector and a sealed lighting rig (meaning no grow room air passed through it) utilising a RVK150L1 fan and a secondary 5” RVK125A1 for exchange and filtering.

This was my room pre 2012.

I set it up in 2011 and got busted early 2012 so had to renew everything again lol.
