Wat Causes Homaphrodites?

So we all know that Homaphrodites are evil? But what is the leading cause of finding them in my garden?
Light Leaks?
High stress to a normal female plant?
Genetics?
High Acidity in soil?

Just throw ideas at me, wateva the masters here think..

Probably isnt lite leaks.. Can be any sort off hard stress.. You may have a male pollinating your girls. If its good name brand seeds be thankful.

Light leaks,heat stress,bad genetics.numerous things can cause this you can get a spray called revert to bring out the dominate sex

I tried the dutch spray called reverse, but it did nothing 4 me - the homaphrodites ended up pollenating themselves. i had 3 plants, n all 3 were homaphrodites.. i now have 1000s of seeds, but only 3 oz of 3 full grown plants

Damn sorry to hear.I would look into the genetics and high acidic soil then.sorry I wasn't much help

hey man, i think those ara called Hermaphrodites not homo..
hermaphrodite is caused by many things, ecspesially interrupting light cyles.

Yeah, im guessing it was genetics and high acidic soil. i fed them full strength nutes every single day whilst growing in coco. Also the seeds were from a stick i got off a mate, n had bout 8 seeds in the 1 stick, so i probably shouldv known better, but this was b4 i joined this site n started learning the wealth of knowledge it has to offer..

Thanks for all the help so far

I picked out one hermy the other day. Its probably just genetics. I had one male, one female and one hermie. arggg

Question regarding hermies...

What would happen if you simply removed the shoots that were male on a hermie and left the females? I have a plant that is nice size and into its 2nd week of flowering with some nice female flowers on it, but I just noticed today, that on at least one shoot, she's starting to develop little balls. I hate to sacrifice the whole plant if I don't have to.

Any suggestions?

Shit man im in the same boat dano. I just discovered some fucking balls on my baby. Pluck them off. They wont grow back on the same places or so I'm told. Arg this sucks...

If u have noticed balls on ur lady, then its pretty much a lost cause. You can probably go alright removing entire shoots, but as 4 just plucking them off - dont bother. I spent a whole day (8Hours +) removing pods off 3 plants, n in the end it was a massive waste of time.. The pods not only grow on the shoots, but in the bud aswell, n as u fondle the plant removing the pods u spread the pollen.
But yeah, like i said, cant c y removing the shoot wouldnt work.. Just turn ur fans off, and do it very gently.
