Hermie question

I have a RQS Royal Gorilla fem plant i grew from seed that I've had going for a few Years now. I just clone the clones, no mother plant.
I have 6 x clones of it in a tent at the moment , they're in multi purpose compost and perlite.
3 weeks into 12/12 flowering and just one clone has hermied big time. It looked like a totally male plant.
The other five plants look fine. All showing female but I'll be keeping a close eye on them from now on.
They are all fed the same nutes, same conditions in the tent etc
I took down the hermie and binned it.
Weird. I would have thought they all would have hermied?
Has anyone else ever have this happen?
Any thoughts to why this has happened? Thanks.

So you cloned a female and got a male out of it?

You sure you didn't get high and grow a plant from seed you forgot about??

It got a little stressed maybe, that's the main reason for Herms, not like you can breed a herm on and guarantee a herm in every new clone.

My last run I used seeds from a herm. None of them hermd and were beautiful females. I too believe it is just a stress factor and has nothing to do with genetics.

Yes, all clones.
I've have this gorilla plant for 2- 3 years.
I grew out the RQS Gorrilla feminised packet and kept this pheno.
So these clones are probably the 18th gen clones from clones although that's irrelevant as we have a paradise seeds Sensi Star plant that 12 yrs old that's cloned from a clone from a clone ad infinitum.
 
I hoked it outta the bin.
So to re iterate
One out of six female clones has turned Male

The dumped plant

But how did only the one plant outta the six herm under stress as they're growing in the same conditions?

There's a lot of stuff that could find it's way into a bag then into one in six pots but I really couldn't answer that and was just saying that if a reliable clone Herms that's probably the first finger pointed.

Maybe if you worked with it a few more generations we would know more.
