Ok, so unfortunately my first born girl has turned into a hermaphrodite. I am kind of upset by this, as this is my first grow, and they were looking quite delicious until a moment ago when i discovered this. I know that picking the balls off is a fruitless effort, as I have tried this, and I also recall reading about it. I am going to execute her momentarily, it is a sad day today. My question is this:

Will the clones I took from this plant also definitely turn hermie even if I adjust the environmental conditions appropriately? (I believe the cause of my woes was unfortunately a light leak) Should I just start over from some fresh seeds? These were just some good bag seeds, so should I spring for some quality genetics and start over? any input would be appreciated.......

Peace!

If you haven't turned your clones you can use Reverse on them to prevent hermies....I use it and have not had a single hermie since....and I always have at least one light issue per 12/12. This stuff works great.

Reverse by DutchMaster - 1 liter | Plant Nutrient Enhancers - General (http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/Itemdesc.asp?ic=NEGREV&eq=&Tp=)

Ps...it's pretty normal for light leaks to cause a hermie issue so I wouldn't be too concerned about the clones. If your plant hermied for no real reason I might feel differently...capice?

I've picked away the male flowers on hermies several times, and succeeded in saving them quite easily.
