I use bat guana when transplanting as was told it’ll help with root growth
Hand feed vs hydro

It sounds like you did a great job. I wouldn't mess around trying to make too many changes after results like that.

What did your test say about the goodness of the advice ?
there are two bat guanos: N-rich (Mexican iirc) and P-rich (?South American).
The effects, especially if not buffered by a mature soil, will be night&day.
You gotta do the test work.

I've never had a hermie and have never used anything like that...........if I did use I bet I would still never have a hermie......

Yeah I'd like to know what was actually in the switch stuff. I don't like spraying unknown shit on my plants I'm gonna smoke. There are many plant sprays, and additives that are proven to be full of carcinogens and heavy metals. Its very strain that it can "initiate flower" and also prolong veg growth. Seems very conflicting.
If you get hermies, or males, you remove them its that simple. If you aren't attentive enough and you miss one and it pollinates, thats on you not the plants. Running from clones is a great way to eliminate that issue without chemical manipulation.
It doesn't sound like you yielded poorly for the amount of plants vs lighting and space. I'd still like to see pictures of when you are harvesting. I honestly find it really hard to believe you are waiting until the plant has 30% amber trichomes all over its buds(not leaves). If you are actually letting it finish then I apologize, I just have watched it happen for so many years I basically expect it from people.

Yeah how about photos under normal lighting so we can actually see the plants.....
Tighter bud shots would help determine maturity.

I have a 60x microscope and and try my best to get to 30%
motsalways hard waiting but I’ve waited 3 months plus so
i try take some later once the lights go off as I don’t like to mess with the cycles too much would you suggest waiting an extra week by the sounds of it?

I wanted to try show you my set up and layout in the images as well as how the topped plants go,
I’ll take some more photos later and upload them

Do we think hydro 24/7 feed would be better than one feed a day?

No easy answer to that

Get soil down before you mess with hydro.

I did soil on my last grow and found coco is better for my style of growing but was gonna try add a halo ring feeding system to my coco/perlite pots

They are two different idioms. Sometimes soil insights fail in hydro.
In my case, soil gave me a good rescue. My next soilless grow benefited from what I learned.

Don’t know if these photos will help at all but this is the last one I harvested
