Hey pale ,
Any unwanted stress can lead to hermies , Most ppl. take cuttings while plants are in veg. - also as a gen. rule plants will dbl. if not triple in size during flowering . 6 plants in a 3 x 5 is way tight esp. w/ em that tall . Maybe work from clones and cut the light cycle to 12/12 sooner next time .
I don't ever wait for plants to show sex before flipping them ? The light cycle chg. will do it for you in 14 days or less .

1000w 3 x 5 x 8 = 1 - 5 gal. bucket , and 1 fem. plant in my world = about 8-12 oz w/ some topping -n- training .

Peace

xcrispi Reviewed by xcrispi on . 4 ft tall!!!!! and bending them is'nt helping lol just finished first week of flowering, and there reaching real close to 4 ft tall. im roping them down and they are still growing up i tied them down from 4ft to 3 ft last nite, and i check them this morning and they grew back to 3 1/2 ft over nite. i know it did'nt grow the whole 1/2 ft over nite sum of that was just where the stalk bent upwards so maybe the growth was 1 or 2 inches . i tied sum string close to the top of the stalks and bent them over and over nite they curved back up and Rating: 5
