I don't think he has pH issues because he said its around 6.5, which is exactly the range it should be for soil.
His EC doesn't seem too high, but if he uses nutes in every watering it could be a build up of certain nutes which will lockout others, or cause deficiencies. Check out the mulder chart. Just tossing that out there
FWIW, I had a small light leak from the side of my door and it never caused any hermies or revegged. One time my girlfriend walked in when lights were out and left the door open for a few minutes and that caused them to reveg, but not hermie.
In all of my experience plants arent that sensitive. A few minutes once is not going to hermie a plant.
a couple ideas...
1) If you have root aphids, you might not see fliers for weeks. sometimes, if their environment is hospitable enough, you'll never even see the winged variation. They can always be around - i've had a completely clean grow and just had an outbreak in week 7 after starting a pretty heavy molasses regimen. No fliers- but the pots were just about to start crawling. Using a heavy dose of OGBIOWAR foliar pack in a feeding will help curb the aphids, if they're present. I know you said you're bug free, but other than phosphorus def. the only time i've seen leaves look like that was when they were under attack.
2) Your soil is getting too wet and too dry - When soil dries out, it damages plant roots and can make some nutrient salts and dense organic materials dry out - and when this happens they might not dissolve back into water in the soil. If you water too heavy, you'll block out oxygen in the soil which will mess with your root's cation abilities and can also cause nutrient lockout - most notably phosphorus. If you're sure there aren't any bugs in your dirt than try altering your water cycle. From what I understand you want to water to keep your pots at a consistent weight - and to NOT let them dry out. I'm almost positive that a stressful watering cycle could also contribute to herming plants.
3) The last thing that you could be seeing, and the most probable, is light toxicity - 24 inches from a barebulb 1000 sounds insane - even with a barebulb 600 that's pushing it. If you're seeing foxtails on top of your buds as well as hermies, you could be blasting your plants with too much light. I've seen this happen LOTS of times - i'm always trying to run my lights too close. Top fan and sugar leaves get lime green and then middle leaves start twisting and burning and dying. If you leave the lights down the brown spots will move onto the sugar and top fan leaves and eventually the bud starts to yellow. Either raise your lights, use deflectors on them, or just leave the 1000 watt on for a few hours a day.
also - is your soil PPM getting higher or are you keeping it at 1100? In soil I usually don't feed nutes until I notice the PPM drop by at least 200 points.
Thats what I said, it revegged but did not hermie.
revegged? from openign the door once for a few minutes? It takes plants a long time to reveg lex... I'm not calling you a liar, but there may have been other factors at play other than the girlfriend.
I have tripped my timers to "on" all the time on accident during wk 4 of flower and they were like that for 2 days... 48 hours of constant light (1k bulbs too) and they didn't herm or reveg... I wish a few minutes of light would make a plant reveg... I would still have some of the girls I lost!
It takes at least a week from my experience... It depends on the plant though
