Does a stressed seedling turn hermie?

Hi! Pretty much like a zombie, I got my OG to come back to life. As you can see, she gave up on the main shoot and on all leaves but one after stress on the transplant. Now I see a new tip appear and grow. Can a feminized plant turn hermie because of that stress?

Hello. Good job on bringing her back to life. But it is still early in the plant's life and it will get over this stress. It's more when they are bigger and they have shown their sex with the preflowers. Its when the plant feels threatened that it goes hermie. Such as taking too much off when you prune. Or the heat or humidity is always too high or too low. Or the roots are disturbed by pests or manhandling. And there is always the change the strain is prone to making hermie's too. So just do your best to keep the plant stable for a few weeks and it should get over this stress and be fine. Chuck.

I’m not a botanist but in my experience the only time I’ve had Hermes myself is when light was leaking in during the dark cycle of 12:12 that being said I have no experience with auto flowers and I do know that some unstable genetics can have a tendency to herm (I’ve never experienced this only herd of it) but if you’ve got good genetics and a pitch black night time you should have no problems, keep in mind little lights like a led display on a heater or ac can herm them but are unlikely to do so
