I have this (1)blueberry that is on week(7) of vegging outdoor, Ive been super cropping,topping, ya know, everything that's required to get maximum yields. MY QUESTION --is it at all, I mean AT ALL, even just a slight chance, that too much super cropping on one plant can some how cause it to turn HERMIE... im not sure, but just very curious?? thanks

I aggressively top my plants and super crop.
I have to be honest I dont worry at all about stressing my plants when I train them.
I make sure to do all the training in veg, then they get at least a week to recover before going into flower.
But even when I have done training on a plant in flower I have not ever had a issue because of it.

If I did have a issue with a plant stressing from training I would simply throw it away.
Im not going to spend time on a plant that is over sensitive to stress, I want strains that are tolerant to stress in my garden.
Having said that most strains I have run have all done great in 15+yrs I have only found a few that I wont work with ever again.
I wont grow autos, junk genetics IMO I have grown out seeds from a dozen or so breeders and not found 1 I would grow again.
I also wont grow Barneys farm, all ill say is I dont have a f-ing clue how they won a cup with the turd that is vanilla kush.

Hey man, just wanted to let you know we had a very bushy blueberry that was stressed due to improper nutings and she hermied in flower, not bad, we caught it and skimmed off all of the butter buds. After this we didn't have an issue, I do not know the genetics to the cut we have. Good luck, man she sure smells good now!

Blueberry is a very unstable strain IMHO.
I tried like hell years ago to find a nice keeper of it, but just couldn't find one I liked enough to keep around.
If I had one 4.5' tall I would flower it, if I had any issues I would just chop it early and make bubble hash from it. :mrgreen:

yea..thats probably going to be the case..but what would you suggest, because I dont want it to pollinate my others..and I know thats very possible if my blueberry is with the rest..

If I spent the time to veg a plant out to 4.5' I would run it, with allot of caution that is.
I would just keep a close eye on it, I would put it close to the door so I could yank it out easy if I needed to.
I would place the plant or fans so that its getting very little air blowing on it.
It may also help to put the fan on one side blowing towards the carbon filter.
Then just put the plant close to the filter between the fan and filter, that way maybe if the fan blows any pollen off it goes into the filter.
Biggest thing is just keep a close eye on it, if you see male flowers get it out asap.
If its just a male flower here and there no biggie just pluck them off.
If you miss a few male flowers its not a huge deal, sure you will get a few seeds but nothing major.
If it dose throw any male flowers (except maybe a few very later into flower) I would not run it again.
