How worried should I be about HERMIES caused by stress!?
Just pick off the sacs if there are only a few. Look at the very bottom branches and the very top colas.........or save the pollen and play around with making your own seeds!!

If one is growing a stable medical strain, how concerned should one be about hermaphrodites pollenating and ruining one's entire crop? My understanding is that if you have a stable strain (ie, not bagseed) then the only thing that will cause hermaphrodites is stressful/unnatural environmental conditions (like light leaks, messed up temps, crazy pH, etc).
Bag seed is not necessarily unstable. A stable strain is one that consistently grows the same phenotypes from a seed batch. You can and probably do have very stable seed stock in bag seed.
I think I remember hearing that the pollen created from stress-induced hermaphrodites is not viable.
Hogwash
In other words, if stress caused a plant to turn hermie and produce balls/pollen sacks then that pollen would be sterile and wouldn't pollenate the other females in the room. Is that really the case? YESOr can stress-induced hermies heavily pollenate the females and ruin your crop with extremely-seeded buds?Ruin as in not sensimillia or ruin as in throw out? It is all still good to smoke.
A few seeds here and there would be fine, but I'm worried about all of the plants getting seeded. I've got Sour Diesel and I've heard that has hermie tendencies...
Calling all hermie experts! What stresses are most likely to cause hermies? I know photoperiod fluctuations are probably number one. What are some others?
Cold
overwatering
wrong PH
too much nutes
heat
light cycle disruption
lack of air
Please post links to any other good threads or info on stress-induced hermies
