Then there were six...

I had ten plants just starting week six.
Today I noticed that a few top buds were starting to get orange hair too soon. Closer inspection showed that four plants were in full blown herm mode!
fuck fuck fuckity fuck
Not sure if it was stress or bad genetics. Anyone else lose 40% of a crop? It's a first for me...

Started with 7 now have 4 ! Had three 24 K Gold and all 3 hermied on me they were looking awesome aswell. Left with a cheese, lemon walker, holy grail kush and pineapple skunk that are all 100% female so far. Unlucky with the GirlBoys mate !

Fuck! Hope that doesn't happen to me. Does it matter on the strain, or where you buy your seeds from? Or is it solely based off how you treat them, temps, enviro etc that they hermie

I'm using bag seed + clones from a buddy & the herm epidemic affected all phenos. Looking back on my data, they may have been calcium deficient. (I ran out of caliMagic.)
That combined with high levels of UV may have been a little too much stress.
Genetics are definitely questionable but I've had great luck with bag seed in the past.
