I’m calling the genetics stable, be they what they are.
Compared to other plants, does cannabis herm easily? Well I’ve not grown anything else as much, so hard to say, but my plants very rarely herm. Meny plants are completely self-pollinating, so there’s not really an issue to why it would be inherently bad.
Herming is more common nowadays when all seeds are feminised, meaning they were produced by a female plant which was pollinated by another female plant that was made to herm.
Despite being made in that manner, most of my femmed seeds never produce any pollen sacs.
“Finicky plant”?
Have you ever grown anything else? Compared to a whole bunch of houseplants or even commercial crops, cannabis is remarkably resilient to all sorts, temperature and humidity fluctuations, fluctuations in the availability of nutrients, etc.

Except for exposing it to those conditions are the exact things that make it unstable and herm…. Just because it can survive to repopulate doesn’t mean it’s the desired characteristics of what the consumer wants. In fact, if that could be bred out , people would fucking live and prefer that.
But hey, insult and attack me instead of having a conversation, fucking lol.
I grow photoperiods but live very far north. Light leaks should by your logic herm cannabis for me, because it’s “so unstable”.
But they don’t. Not even when I’m nowadays a rather lazy grower and they’re definitely stressed, and often.
Hell, rn I’ve a revegged plant in flower, it survived accidentally (forgot one bud on it), it’s roots we’re entirely rotted, etc etc, and it still hasn’t hermed.
Not to mention it’s from a feminised seed. If you have problems with cannabis herming, then it’s most likely that you just have shitty seeds. Order some regular seeds and sex them yourself and they definitely won’t be nearly as “unstable” as feminised seeds. (In quotes because a majority of them aren’t.)
You’re confusing stability with resilience, the plant is resilient not stable. Monocrops are stable, that’s why they can be wiped out by a single disease, there is no resilience to adapt and continue breeding and stay alive.
A stable plant wouldn’t start revegging because it got some more sunlight, that’s the inherent characteristic of cannabis because of its resilience.
Genotype can be extremely stable and produce wildly varying phenotypes.
However, if a phenotype is extremely stable, pretty much the genome has to be as well.
And just aside from what I meant.
Monocrops aren’t necessarily genetically stable just because they only have one genome. It can be a shit genome.

Did you have a stroke or something? Or are you just pretending to understand a thing well, when in reality, you don’t really know that much? Because I’m rather sure it’s the latter.
Again, a stable genotype doesn’t mean it’s a good genotype.
For instance let’s imagine a person. Let’s imagine this person has absolutely zero relatives who don’t have dark hair.
Their genome is stable. It might be bad and incestuous, but the genome is rather stable.
If there’s a person who has dark and light haired people in their family, someone who’s family is very genetically diverse, their genome isn’t as “stable”. They’ll be a more healthy person with all likelihood. Which is also why cross-bred dogs are generally healthier than breeds with stable genomes.
However with cannabis, we’ve managed something like what with have with dogs; an extremely varied set of strains (or breeds) which are still mostly very stable, and only a minority of which are actually overbred and have problems.
Being able to reveg has no bearing on genotype stability, lol.

I’ve grown for ~15-17 years.
