Excluding Hermies, Do Environmental Conditions Affect A Plant's Sex?

So that is a pretty deep question actually. The short answer is that any form of stress that disrupts the flower transition, or meristematic hormones and DNA/RNA responsible for flower parts can cause hermaphroditic traits to form. It is most common when flowers are destroyed by heat stress. The flower morphology in a Auto is the same as in photo, what is changed is the trigger to start flower. So heat stress at flowers should effect either type of cannabis the same. Heat stress at the leaves should delay flower transition in a photo, but not in an auto because the daylight clock and flower trigger starts in the leaves in a photo plant.

And how do/would/could you take advantage of knowing this nice and slow like

I hope your not speaking from experience

The chromosome Y in cannabis is when expressed is described as a expansion not a dominant because it can always revert back. In humans ect it can't because it's dominant over the x chromosome. Nature's little miracle.

Direct analogies never manifest well for science. But they do in jokes. Hehehe

Breeding by stress testing so your seeds are female hormone dominant. More expanded Y chromosome. Though this will reduce the genes in the cannabis gene pool also.
