Can PH cause Hermis???

[^^Toblerone^^]

Hi, I am trying to grow some regular God Bud from seed, I thought had 6 females.
Now, 3 weeks into bloom I noticed 5 out of 6 had gone Herm on me. The only problem I had this grow was with PH, from a shitty rinse of the rockwool cubes, when i found the problem I might have corrected it too quickly, shocking and stressing out the plant too much.

I have some questions,

Can PH stress cause hermis?

Is that red little light on the powerbar enough to get them hermed? (I've coverd it now)

If they hermed because of stress i caused, can they grow normal again when I fix my problems? ( I've cut away all the branches on the bottom where I found the male flowers)


Thanks,
T

any type of stress in flowering can cause plants to hermie. Light leeks are the most common reason why they hermie. And yes, that little red light is totally enough to send them into hermie mode. I once had light from a small red digital display on an A/C hermie a crop on me.

Thanks. So, do you think i should continue flowering these plants now that the problem is fixed, or should I start fresh?

A single red LED caused a CROP to hermie? I'm calling that.

I had massive hermis with a Headband strain. It was the strain. Now a dead strain..lol. What were your seeds or clones? The dispensary killed all their clones because of it.
