Basically, anything that would cause stress can cause a hermie in an auto.

I believe even the stress of the autoflower trait is even a cause for herms.

Will also cause foxtailing. I run into that with my 350r as I continue to learn to use it.

Like mentioned above, stress can be a factor in causing a plant to hermie.

What makes you think light, if you don’t mind me asking? Not really seeing any light problems with your plant. There may be a little N deficiency if anything. Good luck and keep’em growin! :+1:t2::v::sunglasses:

Hey wats fox tailing and this is my first go with my new light

It’s where the calyx’s stretch on the buds, and look like little tails. This buds is foxtailing slightly. Google foxtailing and you’ll see some buds much worse. Some sativa strains do it genetically, but typically they shouldn’t unless they’re stressed, and light stress will cause it.
