Really? I thought that everyone knew that. This was one of my theories long ago. I then researched it, and found out I was correct. Well, most of my theories are correct. :DQuote:

you can cause a plant to go hermie if there is severe stress, some are more prone than others. It is in theird DNA to do this because if there is stress there may not be any more plants of the opposite sex arround to pollinate/receive their pollen so they go hermie. Same reason they go hermie if let flower to long, they are going to die and need to produce seeds.
