male flowers in clones

[smokey5762]

my clones are 36 days old i found male flowers in them today could heat stress cause this? temperatures around 95 degrees or are they hermaphrodite? mother plant is 12 months old shows no signs of hermaphrodite or would it show after the clones start to bud? or should the mother show now? if it's stress shouldn't the clones show heat stress other than male flowers?

Any stress can cause hemaphrodites. Photoperiod stress is a big cause.
But temps at 95 is horrible! You need to get them down to 78 pronto!

He is right, heat stress wil do that. Depending on how bad they hurmy you may just be able to monitor them and pick off the sacks as they form, but even then you will still get some seeds hear and there IMO.

to late done got seed more than i want what about the seed will they be good seed

[clovisman]

it is my understanding that a hermie seed will carry that trait

[smokey5762]

so i need to ditch the seed from my clones

it is my understanding that a hermie seed will carry that trait

It will carry the same propensity to herm that its parent(s) did.

That means under similar conditions, it will herm as easily.

So you need to optimize your conditions to minimize the chance of herms.
