Calling cannabis stable is kinda hilarious to be honest. I don’t think there’s another plant out there that Herms as easily as cannabis. Even landraces can herm, and those are the most stable breeds you can get.
The variety is also detrimental as well, it’s why it’s such a finicky plant.
Monocrops have their own issues, like a single disease being able to wipe out the species.
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.

I’ve grown for ~15-17 years.
