Your clones are actually the same plant as the mom. (Not offspring, with genetic diversity, but exact copies.)

Your cloned plants will be susceptible to *whatever* made the mom hermie. If you think it was light cycle screw-ups, be careful not to do the same thing to the clones.

Consider: If you took a whole bunch of clones at the same time, that in itself could have stressed the mom to hermie.

Just my .02. :thumbsup:
