orange light in co2 sensor

[glued gorilla]

I have an LTL Controls co2 Air controller Inside the remote sensor there is an orange light that flashes all night. up until now it has not been an issue. I just got some new clones from a friend, he has ran these strains several times with no male flowers. In my room they hemied at week three, I killed them. Then dicovered I had a light leak. Fixed that, and gave it another go, same result. This light in my co2 sensor is the only culprit left. Question is, can I run my control on a timer, so it is off completely at night? And is there any sensors that don't have this light? I have had a few and they have all had a fishing light in them at night, but was never an issue. Thanks for any input! ?s comments welcome

I personally think "light leaks" causing hermies is a growers wives tale. I have light leaks and hardly ever have issues with hermies. I think it has to do with that plant and its Systematic Acquired Response. It could be as simple as pushing too many ppm.

I am not sure, I feel like I have seen it happen before in other rooms. I run a well controlled room and never go over 1.6 ec.  The friend that runs this strain has heat issues, high humidity, and runs more food than I do, that is why I am stuck on the light right now. I am not sure how many chances I want to give the stain though

What strain is it? S.A.G.E?

No, it's a pineapple Xpress x kush and also a ghost og cross. Only one run with ghost, but same situation, ran multiple times in other rooms without issue. The pineapple is the one I care most about, has great structure awesome potency and an old school flavor that I dig and so do my patients. Ghost is super lanky with very thin branches, and I will probably let it go. Just out of curiosity why did SAGE come to mind? Had it years ago

Could be the grow light. Make sure it's not going on and off, malfunctioning. If you are worried about a small light then put tape over it.

I know a guy who has S.A.G.E., and he said it's really finicky. But if you have patience...you can get up to 30% with her. I haven't run it yet, but will in a month or so. I like a challenge. So far, Jack Herer is the only plant I won't run again.

It is inside of the sensor, I can't put tape on it. Grow lights are on hard wired timer, don't think it could, but maybe? Going to try running the controller on a timer and see if I still have the problem. Could just be I am more observant than my friends and they do have male flowers with sterile pollen, I don't wait till I get seeds.

Get a strain that isn’t hermie prone. 

There’s literally thousands of them.

Have several, but this is some of the most unique old school herb I have had in a long time, and it is worth the extra effort to me
