How much of a light leak are we talking about? Also how long does this normally take before its to late? Also if some do go hermie, what happens to yield?

Any light at all can cause a hermie. 
Other post have even said a blinking light,such as the light on a dehumidifier can cause a hermie 
I don't know but since reading this I covered all power on lights with tape.As for harvest I have no idea as I always yank plant at first sight of balls,not worth hermie seeding my entire crop.So I say get rid of it now!

Well said JJ all the cross breeding cant help. Young I know you dont want to ,I hate it so much too, but if balls are there crop it,your girls will thank you later lol. As for hermie or female how old are we talking cause you do want to make sure preflowers are true sex.If 2 balls come out together say good night plant!!

I'm along the same lines, I can not find ANY balls on any of my girls, by my last plant had a few mature seeds, 5 so far, but where's it coming from, i crossed pollenated a plant a few months ago, but it was mostly done out the cab, and never in my new cab??

It can lower your yield drastically you might have to take out the entire plant. It might not grow balls right away they just shoot a couple of male bananas out during the end of flowering and release pollen and seed your crop. Depending on how bad it start producing male flower they might seed your entire crop within a week and you wont even know. You just have to try and keep and eye out for them but some tend to get away unoticed until its too late. What I have also seen are small imature seed pods inside of the flower petals. Anyway Good Luck

Well I am going to hope for the best... There is no inconsistant light and I always shut the door at night's. So have no idea what it could be.

Yes I usually yield around 1.5 grams per watt. But sometimes more. Why?
lol young giver....we are talking about dried weight not wet weight....if you get a hermie and it pollinates budding pretty much stops there and seed set begins...couple hermies just pollenated my whole crop so pull them immediatly...sucks when your fat ass buds just quit growing at week 4-5

ive been having hermie problems and turns out all my buds were seeded with tiny little seeds from possible hermie pollen. Do you think light leaks during vegitative growth may cause them to go hermie, especially with a hermie prone strain? i know its important for absolutely no light leaks during flower, but what about vegitative growth? Usually 24h for seedlings 18/6 for veg and so on..
yup...they are....i used to swear by feminized seeds but i don't know anymore....i'm starting to think it isn't worth the hermies....but then again the hermies came from my friends house i don't know if he fucked with the lights ....he says he didn't but who would admit to it after i got pissed?

lol, he fucked with the light cycle. I know if I were to give my plants away for just a few days they'd bound to turn hermie.
Friend: Oh check out what I have in my cupboard...
Other friend: Isn't it supposed to be resting?
Friend: Nah, turn on the party lights and give it some beer, it'll party all night with us.
Can just see it happening. It is a mission and a half explining to my mates every time they come over that no, the lights are off, they cannot have a quick peek.
Younggiver, it does seem you are talking about wet weight? I was just gonna say that if that was dry weight, you'd be one of the best growers on this site and it would be a bit strange that you didn't have eny expereince with hermies yet...
Hope your plants turn out ok.
