why would that really matter...its more genetics then light that will cause hermies. think of plants grown outdoors...doesnt the moon put off light? as long as its not getting intense light for long periods during its lights off time that can bring out the hermie genetic trait then your fine. but who said hermies was such a bad thing anyways? damn the internet and blackmarket counter culture...has really warped any sense of logic and reasoning....young growers don't have a prayer.

The intense sunlight that outdoor plants get from the sun are not phased by the comparatively weak source from the moon
indoor plants get no where as much light as outdoor plants do , i dont care how many k from an hps someone has
since indoor plants do get such little light , when their is a light leak , that leak is much more light to them then what the moon is to outdoor plants
i hope that is making sense to you
I also agree with you that it is in genetics ,
but their are other things that stress the plant to make them hermi , like light leak
you take a female plant with strong genetics with absolutely no hermi traits you can still stress her to hermi
for example , people use colloidal silver to stress their plants to hermi to get fem seeds
but that is why i say that genetics are not the only thing that causes plants to hermi
to my knowledge hermis do not have as much potency
plus the seeds you get will have the hermi trait then
iv smoked hermis before and it took a lot more to get high

i have stressed numerous plants to the max and never had a hermie...and this is over a 15 year period growing many bagseeds and breeder seeds alike. most of the time a lot of breeders will not stabilize their genetics before they rush them out the door to turn a profit...this is why a lot of people are getting hermies from stress...not any plant any grower..the genetics. and is taking a few seeds out of your buds such a bad idea? people (black market dealers) say sensi is the best...its simply marketing. these are the same people growing pretty purple strains and sell it like crazy..why? it looks pretty and taste good...not very potent..takes a lot to get a buzz...but its pretty. people tend to overlook the science of this plant and go toward what the mass of people look for. like i said before..is taking a few seeds out of your bud so bad....do some research into pollinated plants and survival..look at a female plant just like a human female..it will do anything it can in a attempt to protect its baby...but in a plant the seeds are its babies...so it will do what it can to protect them...and what does this happy little plant do to protect itself and its seeds...it produces more trichs...now what is that stuff inside the trichs...our friend Mr. THC.
look outside these forums...look at the science of this plant and not the myths and theories that for profit breeders and forum trolls claim as facts.

I keep a male when i grow so i can sex a branch or 2 on one of my females
i love my free seeds
but wouldn't you prefer to have seeds that came from regular pollination males sexing females ,, instead of hermis ?

i would say if you had a whole crop turn hermie it was genetics. otherwise if you have a heat problem or you are getting light on for the dark cycle...(the normal stuff you probably know) and also if you dont stick with a light pattern such as turning the lights on and off at exact times ever day and not f'ing that up in any way. good luck with your grow-

I hope it all works out for you my man
Anytime you post a thread asking about hermis , or what soil to use ect
your gonna get a lot of different opinions , like mine and dj`s
and then you will have the people who start turning the thread into drama just cuz they have different opinions
so really in the end its gonna be up to you to decide what you end up doing from what opinions you get
Just keep reading all you can and soak up as much info as you can ,
use google or whatever to find different answers to your questions
and of course here ,

i agree about chucking pollen is good for free seeds...and also for my normal smoke i prefer to have it seedless...my point was more geared toward someone that gets a hermie mid grow and their first instinct to be chop it down. now if its around plants you dont want pollinated then it should be removed. but if its a single plant dont rush to chop it down because it could end up with seeds in it. hermie weed can be just as potent...and if properly taken care of...be more potent then sensi bud. so using the seeds isnt the best idea...will carry the hermie gene..but can still produce potent weed.

I completely agree my man
excluding hermis , i have grown reg bagseed that turned out way more potent then the bag i got them out of
i have smoked hermi bud before but it took more to get me high ,
so i just dont have the want , to keep one
if i got a single plant that turned hermi , then yea im gonna go ahead and keep ,
but if its around my others then i wont
as of now i personally never have had a plant that hermied on me ( hope im not jinxing myself lol )
but the hermi bud i have smoked in the past has made me not care to much to keep one if i ended up having one
like i said if it was the only plant i had then yea , i might as well keep it
