Pinot Noir - Mephisto Genetics + Biotabs

lost my battle with the hermaphrodite plant. I will cut my losses and get rid of it. This is the first hermaphrodite I've had in years, and it looks like another one is developing on the tent. I'm really frustrated. I still have 4 seeds left and might try growing this strain again in the future. I blame this failure entirely on the temperature (max 30 celsius), even though I have grown in much worse conditions before. I thought I had everything dialed in: the VPD was on point, the lights were at a safe distance, and the DLI was kept 15% lower to avoid light burn since I got new, stronger lights. Last time, I added nutrients so soon, even though I put the tab in the soil on day 7 and still experienced some toxicity. Despite that, things went very well. In years of growing, I never paid much attention to VPD and humidity. Every past grow (except the last 2 ones) I literally just made sure the temperature never surpassed 30 degrees, and it always worked. Now that I have way more knowledge, things sometimes still fail xD' The only thing I really changed was the light schedule from 20 to 18 to help with the heat, but I doubt this is the cause.
