Male clone from a Female mother?

CaptainCanabis · May 9, 2009

I will upload pictures when I get a chance but I was wondering has anyone ever heard of this?

I have a strong healthly mother plant, that I recently took a clone from and introduced to a 12/12 cycle.

Everything seemed fine and then it started to grow the sacks, cluster sacks, sack here sack there sack everywhere.

I recently moved it outside, so I don't contaimate the mother plant.

I am pretty certain that the plant I took it from is a female, has visable signs of female pre-flowers doesn't have a single sack on her.

So whats the deal here? Could it be a hermy, if so what should I do? My flower chamber is right next to my mother storage.

Thanks fellow people!

Has to be a hermie. Clones by definition can't be different from the mother.

Unless it is a hermaphrodite, that would have meant your mother would have become one too though, a male coming straight from a female as a clone is just impossible.

So this means my mother plant is a hermy? Does that mean I should get rid of this mother plant?

Are hermys any good to keep?

Could the clone have just been stressed and turned into a hermy?

My mother has no sign of balls, just the little V pistols.

If I bought a seed and paid good money I would use up every little part of plant I could even males, if it's good weed. If it's a bag seed kill it and make a new one. Has the mother never shown any sex at all or just female?

CaptainCanabis · May 9, 2009

The plant is about 3 or 4 feet high been growing it for quite some time, was some bag seed, but a pretty good quaility.

It has shown quite a few V pistols and 0 sacks, which makes me surprized that the clone turned into a hermie.

Has the one clone been the only hermie, have you done one since it?

That was the only clone I have tried. I have 3 clones in a cup of water waiting for them to show roots.

Which leads me to my next questions, could the clone stressed itself into a hermy?

It is possible, but that still means in time the mom will just become one in the end too, did you treat the clones just like the mother with temp humid and light or do them in another room away from her?

CaptainCanabis · May 10, 2009

I did it in a seperate box, but it is in the same area. Different light color, but both CFLS. Not sure if the humid and temp was the same, but it changes all the time for the mother plant.

your mother is a MALE. call it daddy.

CaptainCanabis · May 10, 2009

Why does it have female preflowers and no male preflowers then? Is this possiable?

Yep it is both male and female. You will not ever see the seed pod because they are going to grow in the middle of your buds. Dont cut it down because it probably will be some good smoke. If anything you will have some weed and some fresh seeds. No the sex of the seeds is not pre determined by the mother plant. :dunce:

They can be male and female and hermi or whatever.

CaptainCanabis · May 10, 2009

Ok cool, The clone that I turned into flowering didn't have any female pistols just seed sacks everywhere, but it looked like it was growing the buds, but yet that looked like a bud full of seeds.

do you have any pics of the female preflowers? :-|

sometimes they show false sex. not often, but i've seen it happen. or i was just wrong.

I too would like to see better close up pics of the preflowers. I'm wondering if these preflowers were identified correctly. If I'm not mistaken, I think that a lot of hermies won't show those traits until they are put in flower?

Resident Kush · May 10, 2009

its happened to me before too, wasnt hermi or anything else, the only explanation i can muster is that I labeled it wrong, but im 99% positive that i didnt.

fdd2blk · May 10, 2009

i've mothered several males. started cloning racks of them. put them into flower. oops. i do it about once a year. i simply misidentify them.

CaptainCanabis · May 10, 2009

Yeah ill get some pictures tonight, I have read several books and there isn't a sack to be found, but tonight I'll try and get some pictures.
