yeah this sounds like the question was worded wrong. herimies only appear in budding stage so im guessing if some idoit toped during flowering it could possibly turn the plant hemie. ive used a technique i would call pinching the buds and i havent had hermies. in about half or full bloom smash the very tip of your bud or rip some of the hairs out and it will swell up larger and more rounded(this was experiment done out door). fiming and toping are only needed or used i should say during the veg stage of growth ushally 2 make them grow 2 your sutiation or desire 2 grow the plant 2 unique size. i prune for 3 main resons max air flow within the plant, max light 2 all tops. and most important pruning 2 concentrate on strong branch growth. besides this ive seen plant grown great with out any pruning at all but im just picky. good luck every one whos on this thread. peace
