High Stress Training = Hermie Plants?

What do you think? What's your experience?

I think some training techniques can force plants to enter their survival mode and turn into hermies. I don't necessarily mean the techniques themselves. Maybe it's about bad timing. :confused:

I'm just learning this being new to fem seed. Generally I high stress plants ,from solid genetics in clone form ,multiple seesions throught grow. never ever had pollen sacs or abundance of nanners. Pretty sure it's stress induced. Keep an eye out at pick them off. You should be ok if it has pollinated anything. Which depends a lot on circulation. Peace

If you train and top a nice plant and veg it real good with a healthy rokt structure....then flip it to flower and you get a intersexed plant its more than likely genetics. Alot of growers blame small light leaks or training or other forms of stress (breeders love to blame it on stress) when its not the case at all. Its the weak genetics your growing. The breeder didnt do bis part with selection or working the genetics the way they should have. Ususally. Not saying grower stress cant pop hermies but in my experience its almost always the seed itself.

imo if it hermies it's genetics not training. I train every plant unless I'm pheno hunting, start with super-cropping (multiple times if I'm vegging longer), then FIM all tops about 10 days before flipping. Have yet to see a hermie. I do try to give them 7-10 days with no stressful training before flipping, not sure if that helps but I think they should be as strong as possible before the flip.
