Yes, heavy defoliation causes a huge metabolic shock to your plants, freaking them out and making them "think" that they are going to die, leading to their survival instinct kicking in - hermaphroditism.

Only do a flowering defoliation in week 2 or 3. Never do it any later unless your getting the plant ready for harvest.
I do my last defoliation in 2 week 2 or 3 of flowering, I've never had any problems and get good benefits from indoor plants. Anything past that time frame is just to much stress on the plants. I'm really sorry that happened to you.

Ouch. Always do the major defoliation 1/2 weeks (in veg) prior to the flip

Do you micromanage your grow...I do!?"Poll" question...how many of us spend enormous time caring for our plants. Checking temperatures, humidity, water, nutrients, air turnover, light, canopy, VPD, pests, supplements and just about everything...all the time!? Maybe it gets easier with better equipment/knowledge lol.
