In another thread that was originally a question about the number of fingers in a leaf and overall bud size, sorry @PhoenixFlower, the subject has drifted into light leaks and hermaphrodites where one of our respected members stated:
So I went to look up this Dr. Bugbee, because what common sense I have tells me that a statement like " Moon light is reflective and the plants don't see it...Check out Dr.B.Bugby on light leaks." is flat wrong and caught my attention. @PipeCarver , this is what I found on youtube and it doesn't seem to cover moonlight reflectivity and plants here on the Dr's channel. Please link to that information. I don't see anything that looks like it deals with light leaks and reflective light there (so maybe I'm a bit blind... or looking in the wrong corner). If that information is available, I would certainly like to hear him discuse it.
Another member, @N1ghtL1ght posted an informitive light graft to that thread and if you want to repost into this thread, feel free. I am hopeful we can weed out the Bro science and get down to some serious science. If I may get technical with PipeCarver, as I understand it, everything you see is reflected light.
I hope to get a picture of an outdoor grow here in Pueblo on a busy street with street lights and their plants do just fine. So I'll pose the question, is it having any low light source or can low light be acceptable, as long as it's consistant and not random??? Streetlights or moonlight aren't random, but as regular as the sunrise/set, so????
...and yes, I have my personal beliefs and views on the subject, but most of it is from reading and not actual, personal experiance and so if I can't back it up with real, factual data, I'll just keep it as my personal view and to myself.
Now, can we solve this problem once and for all, ........ again! and let's not forget all the other stress factors that influence hermaphrodites, heat, cold, insects, WPM, to humid, to dry, pH, nute deficiency and excess, over watering, under watering, water to cold or warm, and on and on........ and yes, some varieties are more geneticly prone to hermmy on us, Durban Poison being a classic example of genetic predisposition to herrmy.

You're comparing indoor light to moon lighting and that's apples and oranges. Moon light is reflective and the plants don't see it...Check out Dr.B.Bugby on light leaks...if you can see print in a book in the grow room with lights out it'll cause problems. Small led indicator lights on equipment can be so bright it lights up enough to see all the plants and read print in the dark. Plants need very little light to get confused and not know what direction to go, some will hermi some will reveg...up to you I don't like seeds in my buds
