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.

Miss read they are all clones :wall:

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.

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.
