Hermies?

My plants have 18 hours of light and 6 dark. The 6 hours of lights off in my box have high temps at 103*F, along with 3 hours before and after lights out for a total of 12 hours a day. The other 12 hours in the box it stays 78*F-82*F. Will high temps for half the day turn plants hermie?

They have no signs of stress, and have never wilted from heat so I really don't think it's a huge issue, but I worry nonetheless.

bump. bump.

I dont think high temps at night are as much of a problem since the plants arent transpiring much, but I would def. try to keep temps below 85 (unless ur using CO2) at all times. Not an expert by any means, but 103 combined with high humidity in a closed box can cause all kind of problems fast.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. The humidity is 40-45% during lights out, and drops to 30-37% with lights on so that's not a huge issue either.

Any other opinions?
