Interrupting dark to make fem seeds?

I have a subpar understanding of how selfing works.

I know silver messes with the hormones in such a way the plant produces male flowers. Light in the dark cycle has a similar effect, and as far as I am aware, nobody uses it to make fem seeds.

Are light leak herms genetically less stable or am I missing something?

I have no interest in selfing, this has just been a curiosity of mine for a while.

Thank you for your time.-TB

Hermies that are natural are very likely to produce hermie seeds, while those treated with colloidal silver are much more likely to be stable, light leaks may cause hermies ( less often than most think) but it’s not reliable. Chances are that light leak hermies have a predetermined genetic proclivity to hermaphroditism.

“Back in the day” stressing plants was the original way to make selfed seeds. I remember one of the old heads talking about it in a Potcast

STS and CS hinder/stop the production of ethylene which stops the plant from producing female flowers. As a result female pollen sacs are made, I imagine as a survival trait. Works quite well. Haven't tried rodelization before..
