how easy is it to cause a hermie?

i have some feminized seeds and was just wondering how easy it is to turn them into hermies? i hear of how its related to "stress", but what stress are we talking here? like accidentally dropping a cfl light on it? or is it more minor than that?

what are some ways a female plant can go hermie?

I would say just as long as you keep it happy and in good conditions it will be fine.

One good way to make them hermie is light leakage during dark period.

Stress the fuck outa them...cut alot of leaves off...different light schedule all the time, move them around lots...transplanting too much...many things contribute to hermies.

haha alright. just wonderin cause i already tipped over a newly sprouted seed and had it fall out. some other shit has happened but we will wait and see during flowering i guess...

defintly if its too hot photo period gets messed up this defo leads to hermies 100% word out

anybody know if two days without light while a seedling is a really bad thing with lots of hermies or is it a minor upset?

I had 2 days without light as sprouts and they were female .. i did take very good care of them after that though

not as important during veg, but can happen

thanks for the input - makes me feel better about my chances.
