I have a northern lights plant that is about 5 months old growing in DWC. Being the crazy addict that I am, I ended up cutting off everything with trichomes before she finished flowering. At that point I switched back to 24 hour light and vegging nutes. It's been about 3 weeks now, and I'm happy to see alot of new growth at the bottom of the plant.

Anyway, I know plants can be turned into a hermie when their light cycle gets messed up. What are the chances that I've turned this plant into a hermie, and how do I tell?

you'll get male flowers, & its more likely that the stress will turn it hermie, (being not just the light cycle but the cutting & shit aswel). just keep your eyes open for male flowers

How bad would it be if it does turn out to be a hermie? Could I just cut off the male flowers to keep it from pollinating anything? Or will the buds be smaller and/or less potent?
