Cloning hermie mom, specific genetic question.

[jakester]

My experiance is that when I take a clone from the hermie branch it turns out hermie, but when the clone comes from a non-hermie branch it turns out 100% female. Just my 2cents.

I wonder if that type of designation includes other traits. For example, would a branch cloned from the top of the plant tend to yield more than a branch from lower on the plant? Do the genetic markers or imprints remain the same or is there a point (vegging) where the plant gains a fresh start?

From the responses so far, that seems unlikely.

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 Rating: 5
