 Hermie clones

Had a hermie that I got from a feminized seed. Was wondering if the clones I took, that are still in veg, will be hermies too? I already killed the hermie.

I don't know if your gonna want to read this.
If the clones came from the same plant that went hermie then yes the clones will be hermie also. Sorry

Thanks Magash. I figured as much.
I grew 6 feminized seeds from the single seed center. 2 were hermies and 1 turned out to be an auto flower. I don't think it was stress that caused it. I've been very careful and all the rest of the plants look great.

This is all dependent on the method they used to create a feminized product. Magash should chime in and let you know the details of that.

The proper method is to stress the plants. Water, light, temps, age and so on and try and make the plant show some hermie flowers. Now if the plants show any signs of hermie flowers I chuck them. They had hernie traits in them and I don't want them.
Now the plants that don't give in no matter how much I stress them those are the ones I use to make my seeds from. Now those are the plants that I force with chemicals. Now the process is not a natural one snd should not be done naturally. Example Soma Seeds uses age to get male flowers from their female plants and have a massively high amount of hermies. Other companies like Dutch Passion use Chems but don't stress test the plant so they also have a high rate of hermies.
Now if done right the plants whether you seed the same plant to get female copies or do crosses with the female pollen the rate of hermies is no different then with regular seeds.
All boils down to whether the breeder wanted to do the work or throw the dice.
