First let me debunk the "hermie" myth for you...there are very few "real hermies" out there...what you have is a bunch of newbies (no offense) stressing their plants to the point of self pollination, and not getting good advice as too why...well, I'll tell ya...it's because you guys are hearing that "you have to do this and you have to do that" so you try it all, and when it comes time to flower that poor girl don't know what to think, so she does what comes natural, she self pollenates...it's from over feeding/watering, under feeding/watering, changing their environment every other day, and then stressing it by putting it in flower to see if she lives through 8 more weeks...lol...I know I've done it...I'm cloning a Blue Rhino from my first grow, she "self pollenated" on me, I blamed it on a "hermie"...I'm still growing that strain and she hasn't "hermied/self pollenated" on me since I learned to read my plants and not mess with them so much...remember, LESS IS REALLY MORE...it took me awhile to learn it...good luck...
