Ok here goes. This is not my grow I am only tryng to help a friend so my info might be shotty.
just got my friend into growing. He has six plants in 15 gallon pots under a 1000watt hps. They vegged for a couple months and got decent training and size before the flip. Been flowering for 5 to 6 weeks now and he came home yesterday to check out a room full of hermies.... seeds on all buds on every plant!
My question is what could have caused this. He has five different strains all from clones (same straines ive flowered a couple times with no problems) couplw weeks ago he had power issues and went two days with no lights in two different occasions. Would that have caused every strain to stress and hermie?
He also told me one of his plants is from seed but has showed no male parts the whole time. Even when budding.
Any help or knowledge would help my devistated newbie friend
I feel bad for him but I also remeber all these guys seeing my operation and saying "oh I can do that" and jumping on the band wagon!
growing quality herb is not easy and is an art form in my opinion!

We had shitty weather up here last few weeks and he lives off the main grid. He told me tonight he lost power for 2 days twice in the last two weeks. So light didnt come on for 24 hours at least two different times.

I was wondering if one of the two seed plants he got from someone were male and he didnt notice so it pollinated the rest. But he said it had buds growing on it for 4 weeks or so. Im sure he would have noticed nanners on them way before that....

It was most likely the light interruption. Two day happening twice can definitely cause it. And it doesn't mean every plant hermied, just one plant throwing nanners can pollinate the rest.
Or, maybe he doesn't know what males look like

Possibly. He has a few outdoor grows under his belt but hes always gotten cuts from a friend so hes prob never seen a male!
hes chopping everything friday taking clones off a couple of his big mothers and throwing the mothers in flower. They really havent been "mothers" for too long. Hopefully he doesnt cross pollinate the veg room too! Since it is outside the flower room....

make sure your buddy sprays down his flower room from top to bottom before he brings any plants in. It would suck to have his fans blow pollen onto his next batch.
off topic, but I thought I'd let you know I'm taking some cuts today of Chernobyl, drizilla, magash's man eater and a few others. Let me know if you want any.

Any special spray he should use? Or just water and bleach mix?

plain water will take care of the threat of pollen blowing around. spraying his room down with a bleach solution won't hurt either.
I'll be around this weekend. The cuts won't be ready for at least 2 weeks though. I've got several diff strains harvested and cured if you're lookin to puff on something different.
The Chernobyl I flowered out is fucking bomb

yeah drizilla likes to stretch A LOT. You'll need to stake it up well or else you'll have giant colas floppin all over the place It's a very resinous and flavorful strain. The mom I have is a keeper!
