Hey,
I'm kind of new guys so if this is a stupid question just let me know. But if you force a hermie with extra flowering times does it fuck with the gentics of the plant? I mean, does the next generation get less potent and have mutation?

won't change genetics. But it will make your weed shitty. And you don't make it hermy by flowering it too long. You have to shock it.

Have you already done this or what?

Na, I was just curious. Why don't you want to over flower and how do you want to shock it?

You don't want to shock it, you don't want hermies. Any seed created with a hermie plant will have more of a tendancy to turn hermie itself, you don't want hermies.

Well I kind of do want a hermie. I have one plant of an unknown strain, all I know is that it was from of some of the best pot I've ever seen. How else could I breed it besides hermie it?

...I like it

If you're plant is female, clone it....keep cloning it, and then clone the clones. And then like matman4444 says cross it with another strain.

There is no way to force a male to hermie into a female is it? What about shocking the plant and making it switch genders before flower? But yes, if it is a chick im going to just clone it for a long time and cross breed.

There are chemical hormones...but you should probably leave that one alone. Is your plant in flower already?
