they shouldent do as youve just been told, what seeds are they, could they be bag seeds?
other enviromental issues or light timeings can cause plants to hermi

Two random people were talking about thrips and their plants herming. They weren't sure what the cause was and it made me curious. Figured I'd get an answer from you killers. Thanks!

Ive had thrips quite a few times and.... I don't see how you could ever let the infestation get bad enough for plants to go intersex... most likely a coincidence. I mean... if a plant has a propensity to herm it will 100% do it once u give it enough stress so.... shitty genetics most likely

thats why i was asking if it was bagseed, chances are it came from a hermied plant in the first place

yup... basically, a herm wil herm if its a herm... thrips or mites or heat or drought.

otherwise thrips are ike one of the least damaging pests

It's obviously strain dependent like another poster posted before some strains are just prone to herm with any kind of stress especially certain feminized lines.... So at the end of the day I would say yes trips could and would definitely be a cause of herms

I agree with the first part of your post but in my experience trips suck balls lol.....
I'd rather deal with fungus gnats or spider mites any day of the week

my first thaught was genetics, it happens so offten when a plant hremies that breeding is the problem. next would have been growing conditions/enviroment

To be quite honest I've dealt with spider mites so many times I have it down to a science now and I can get rid of them with three applications 3 days apart pretty damn easy but thrips they start from the soil go up to the plant and then go back to the soil again when they lay eggs.... To me they were just tougher to deal with
