After years of discrete closet grow with no major problems, I got legal (my state's laws recently changed) got an 8x4 tent and started growing in that at the beginning of February.
6 Plants. Photos. All hermied.
I checked everywhere for light leaks. You can indeed see light from the outside through tiny pinholes in the zipper and some at the corners. However, I have zipped myself up in there and literally can't see an inch in front of my eye. Looks like total darkness to me.
Now I had 8 autos looking absolutely beautiful and almost ready.. Went to water them, probably the last watering of the flush for 5 or 6 out of the 8 (A couple looked like they needed a little extra time) and saw what I thought was a seed in a bud right in front of my eyes.
Sure enough. They ALL hermed. And bad. FULL of seeds. I'm sick to my stomach. I'm giving that tent away. Whether it's the tents fault or not, every plant I've grown in that tent is a hermie, and every plant I've grown elsewhere has NOT been a hermie, so I want nothing to do with that tent. lol
I really had a passion. My friends who grow are actually envious that my buds come out looking so amazing. But what's the point if there is more seeds than Mexican brick weed? I'm truly heartbroken. Nearly 8 months (counting both runs of hermies) of blood, sweat and tears down the drain.
I guess I needed to vent. I really feel like giving up. It's almost a relief to not have to put all of my energy and love into plants that just break my heart at the very end.
