Cloning hermie mom, specific genetic question.
Ok, so this is something I have had happen before and I have always been curious. You bud a plant, it's 100% female, it's a beauty. You regenerate it and take clones. You bud the regen and it goes slight, >%1 hermie. No problem, knock off the flowers continue to bud. I assume the plant has had enough stress to warrant a slight freak out. So the question is, in this theoretical situation, would your clones exhibit the hermie tendency? Would the amount of time the clones spent in veg play a role on how much more like the original mother the flowers were?
Is the answer,
A. The clones would revert to the flowering pattern of the mother completely as soon as they are rooted?
B. The clones would need XX time in vegging to completely revert to the mother's traits?
C. The clones will all show the exact hermaphrodite traits the regenerated mother did?
D. It all depends on the plant?
I hope to be able to learn this stuff through experiment but it would help if anyone with experience knows. I don't want to know what the "best thing to do" is, I am just curious about this specific dynamic in cannabis genetics and what most people find their plants doing.

Personally, I want them tanned golden brown but not crispy....and no one likes cold raw dough in the middle of their cookie.
