The fact that it was 6 months old could be another factor for stress.

I know that I don't bother to try and flower my old moms, at least not indoors. If weather and timing is right, they go outdoors for thier retirement. And I keep them away from anything else I have outdoors...just in case they hermie.

Seems you introduced many stress factors to that plant, hard to say which one made it turn. And as pointed out above you may have introduced pollen yourself, such as handling bag pot and then without washing your hands (up to ya elbows) tending your plants.

oldmac Reviewed by oldmac on . HOW DID IT HAPPEN? I have a hermi and trying to figure out how it happened has been driving me crazy! The plant was about 6 months old when I decided to flower her and I had to chop 14-15 inches off the top to fit it into my tent, also I kept her "it" in the same 5 gallon planters pot that I originally planted "it" in. I was told about 2 weeks into flowering that I should have re-poted "it" into fresh soil! could that have done it, being in the same pot and soil for that long? or a bad seed to begin with?? Rating: 5
