He's insisting they were too old, but I dont' think they were and I'm damn sure that wouldn't have caused the plant to go to seed... WOuld having them flower too long make them go hermie?

THis has been an ongoing battle, he likes to cut them down too soon, and it ends up being harsher (imo) This was the first crop I actually made him watch the tricomes and go by that color other than what some stupid calendar said and then this happens...
stress CAN cause hermie, however since all were affected, id say genetics given your description of things. hermies can hide inside the bud but those dont generally litter you with seeds. too long of a flower can stress enough to hermmie but seeding would be minimal at late stage. try diif genetics and go from there. go by trichome color for sure even that is preference. good luck and happy growing.
