If one were to clone a hermi that used to be female, would all the clones continue to be hermies or would they revert back to being a female?
Thanks

Cloning a Female that went hermie

how bad did it hermi on you? if you only found 1 pollen sack, then if you really need to, you might be ok with cloning it. but work on getting other plants, as u never know, it might hermi more.
if there was balls everywhere, dont clone it!

This is just theoritical but if it did hermie, it would hermie due to genetics and NOT enviormental stress

^^Enviormental stress can bring the genetic trait out.....everything is due to genetics.

For sure......Cannabis is dioecious...having the ability to go hermaphrodite is not a given in the species

My first few grows never once had a 100% dark period. Ever.
There was always some point where they'd get light during their "dark" period. (they were kept in an area close to the bathroom. When anyone got up to go the bathroom and flicked the light on...the light hit the plants. Every night. I got up to go to work at 3am. Turned the light on-it hit the plants. Every single day.)
Not a single Hermie.
Not until I began growing "proper" did I see what a hermi was...
The thing I cant figure out about all this "light leaks cause hermies"... Wtf about outdoors... the real way cannabis was meant to be grown. No such thing as a natural 100% dark period in nature..
I've never seen one and I've been out into some remote as areas of the wilderness, regardless there is always some light at night. always.

There is light at night, but most of the time, if not in the city, that's light being reflected off of the moon. I'd be interested to see the readings from a light meter on a clear night with a full moon though, to see how much light there really is. I guess I didn't realize you could have plants that were 100% female no matter what you did to them. 
I just have a hard time believing that, though it's nothing personal, I'll have to look into that a little bit more.

I had the same problem.overmind1632 said:
People were breaking into my grow area and turning on the lights.
When a good female turned hermie, I would harvest most of the plant then reveg. After I reveged I would take clones. They would turn out good as long as the basterds didn't come in and turn on the freekin' lights again.
The plants seemed most sensitive during the streach phase to light changes.
