So started a couple mothers from seed to grow a different strain. One of them got a white hair. U know how sometimes they get that early white har when they get to be mature vegng plants. Anyway, decded this was enough to confirm t was female. seperated the 2 mothers from the rest of the garden so it could be flpped to 12/12. after letting them veg for another 4 weeks or so cut the clones. that was about 2 weeks ago now, and rght after took the cuttings i put the mothers back n the flower room to just be certain that they are female. Its stl a bit early to be for certain, but i'm 70% sure i got some male sacks coming as well as hairs. f this is true, does this mean all my clones will be hermies??? Am i totally screwed and back to starting more mothers???

If she is a hermie, then yes the clones will be (If it is a genetic mutation for hermie). If you stressed the individual plant into turning hermie, then the clones should be female. Pictures help a lot though.

I know lol. My camera lens is fucked. Cant find charger for other camera. Is there any way to dfferentiate between it being genetic or from stress?? had a little bit of stress weeks and weeks ago before takng the clones. thats about it.

Im confused about the mothers.
they were in veg then seperated to be flipped after more veg?
Not exactly sure what you are saying.

Just trying to figure out if you are stressing them and causing herm
by constantly changing the light cycle rapidly.

if you are its hard to say if they are bad genetics until the stress stops.

we bought clones and started 2 mothers from seed. While we let the clones veg for 2 weeks we just left the mothers in the same room. Then when we switched to 12/12 we moved the mothers into their own room, already assuming they were female because they got the little late veg premature flowering white hair....u know how sometimes they pop out before its time. Anyway after taking the clones i put the mothers in the flower room just to be 100% positive, now ii' seeng possible sgns of male flowers as wel as whte hairs...altho it is still to early for me to tell as everything s too small....except the white hairs

dopey,
There is the possibility that you mis-identified the gender of one of the seedlings. I find pre-flowers aren't 100% accurate. Or at least for me they aren't...but I'm old with weak eyes.

Back in the olden days lol, we used to flower seedlings to determine gender and then reveg them. That was the routine technique that I learned from one of the early ganja growing books. At that age, and being early into flower...they revegged easily. If you do that again, just wait a bit longer till you see clear cut pistils or pollen sacs.
