Not too sure I agree wholeheartedly with this. Just because a lady was stressed into hermaphrodism, it doesn't necessarily mean that the genetics are bad.
For what it's worth, this is something I do a couple of times a year. with no ill effects: (but then I do have seperate veg/flower rooms)
I stress a stable lady with aspirin to induce nanners. After harvesting the pollen, I chop her back, downsize the pot, and re-veg. Her remaining nanners dry-up, and no further sign of hermaphrodism from that point forward, and she becomes a clone mother for at least one crop. Clones are normal and stable from these, and the re-vegged lady continues merrily on her way to being healthy, happy and bulky.
The point is...re-vegging resets the growth to it's original stability. Works better for this using the bonsai re-veg technique in my signature...but it works.

However, if the genes are mutated to begin with, there is no real hope of 'resetting' their genetic code, but you wouldn't want to clone these anyway.

WRONG. It's a useful technique I use on virtually every crop.

Check the re-veg links in my signature. Good luck, it's an awesome technique. :thumbsup:
