That has more to do with weak genetics imo

I'm with you. Normally I would think that too but it wasnt just 1 plant it was 3 that had went hermie on me & that was after snapping branches trying to do low stress training for 1st time,temps in mid 30s,& multiple mishaps. And tho this is my 2nd indoor grow, Ive ordered & grown(outdoors) many fem seeds from this company(Nirvana) & never had go hermie on me.

I should clarify tho plants are indoor they're technically outdoor cuz they're in my garage which isnt weather proofed so when it's in 30s outside its probably 5° warmer in garage at most.

Depends alot on the size of the plant and the age of the grower.

I pluck them around day 1 in flower then again good after their strech is done and then all through flower, every day I'm taking something.

On harvest day I'm basically removing very few fan leaves, snip off the buds, into the trim bowl and onto the drying nets.

Wet trim.

It has to knock off some trichomes but it dosen't get them all and im not really worried about a few missing.
