Man what is going on. Every strain I grow herms at some point. I'm following the ph levels humidity levels and keeping good airflow. Pretty sure I don't have light leaks but that could be the issue as my tent is getting older. I have tapped up every crack or hole but no change

Usually, Light leak has to be quite extensive to actually show up on a PAR meter which is what the plants will see. If it reads 0 on a PAR meter, Even if there is minor light leak, It won't affect the plants. Cannabis plants self pollenate when they get very high levels of stress that cause the plant to think that it will not have a successful life cycle & needs to insure its reproduction cycle takes place by self-pollenating. This can be caused by highly stressful VPD's which a lot of new growers overlook entirely. Take a look at this graph & read this article, You will see what I mean. If you can supply me with your diary info in terms of lights on / lights off temps & RH points. We can reference them to the VPD chart and see if that is where the stress points are coming from. We will figure it out together man, Just follow me & DM me so we can chat it out. https://cerescann.com/importance-of-measuring-vpd/

Stress factors, light leaks but mainly genetics leads to hermies. same said for nanners. But most girls will throw a nanner ot 2 as it tries to fulfill her destiny, before she dies...I try to keep a close eye and get any nanners before they pop

Without a diary there is no info to go on exactly what you are doing, so any suggestions would be just a guess. If you are growing autos at 24/0, then that is your problem, all plants need sleep and 18/6 is optimum. Heavy defoliation can also trigger hermies.............but these are just guesses, we need a diary or LOTS more info! Light leaks are your biggest enemy though.

Lights, too bright or too close, wrong lighting could trigger hermie. Expecially for autos

Could be genetics that’s true, I had a hermie once had to clean up the entire place with cleaning products before I can use that again, also if someone is been to a grow where it might have a hermie or male and came in your grow that’s another way of passing it. Check everything you have good luck

is your light malfunctioning? i had a COB LED unit where one would remain dimly lit for hours after lights turned off (not a power leak.. i made sure the timer i bought didn't do that) ventilation is another easy entrance. could always be genetics, but if it keeps happening the chances of environment being the cause keep rising. it's pretty had to see anything distinct in picures. first one where the brown stigma are sorrounding what could be a sac but it isn't opened or is a sugar leaf folded over etc. the middle close-up doesn't have any signs of male bits, in case there is any confusion identifying it. if just nanners, pick'em and carry on. if sacs, think about trashing or isolating. hell of a lot easie to see in real life.
