did i just waste my time?

[chronichydro]

I started a mother / clone cabinet and separate flowering.area but i used feminized seeds to start the cabinet off ....will clones from feminized seeds grow to be hermie?

 

[anon0988]

No. Clones are identical genetically to the parent. If the from-feminized-seed plant doesn't tend to hermie, neither will clones you take of it.

But would stress still cause it to herm?

Reason I ask is someone on another forum I visit got a hermie from clones from a fem seed.

Stress can cause any plant to herm, feminized or not.

Whew....ok thanks....i didnt think they would but i wasnt sure so thought id ask the pros....thanks anon

That's why you clone in the first place. Make sure you mark everything up so you know which clone is from which plant; the best plant you keep the clones from. You can guarantee that if the mother plant didn't hermie her clones won't either.

I've always heard that feminized seeds are more likely than non-feminized seeds to produce a hermi. This is because the process of creating feminized seeds involves forcing a female plant to hermi, and self-pollinating. The resulting seeds from a self-pollinated female will be feminized, but will pass on a greater tendency to hermi.

Cuttings from a plant are identical to the mother they're taken from.

FWIW, I've never had a plant hermi on me. I've used feminized seeds many times. I've taken clones from those mothers and had no problems with them.

u can get hermis from everything.. its not more likely or less likely depending on the fem or reg.. its all about the genetics used to make those seeds..

You left out the most important part.
The parent will pass on the trait to hermie from heat related stress if it hermied because of heat, etc, etc...
When you force a plant to hermie with silver you dont have that same problem.

I don't think seed breeders do that.

I am pretty sure CS is what most breeders use.

That's exactly what colloidal silver does, cause the female plants to hermie so they pollinate themselves with female-only genetics, thus creating female only seeds.

I was under the impression he was reffering to stressing the plant to herm.
