Hi Ya'll,
Can anyone help me figure out what went wrong with my girls? I have been hydroing for a year, with flors for cloning,(24 hrs), 400 HID for veg,(18 hrs) and 1000 HPS for flower, (12 hrs). I don't keep the same mothers, but I keep a little one and let her grow to become the mom, all from the original strain (lemon kush). My girls have been in the flower stag for about 2 weeks, and half of the 18 clones (9)turned male with balls and no hairs, the other half (9)are female with hairs, no balls? Has this happened to anyone else? What should I do? These pics are not that clear, oh well.

strange, the only thing i can think of is some sort of stress, never liked using clones as mothers though, wonder if its like dolly the sheep,genetics are a funny thing. my m8 turned a rhino female clone into a pure male with light stress.

Yea that isn't too common I guess, I haven't heard of that happening. I think del might be right; maybe like the genetics broke down and became 50:50 again or something? Are you keeping them all in good condition and not stressing them?

Hey Ya'll
I try not to give my girls too much grief, I do tend to baby them. All came from the original female Lemon Kush almost a year ago. Thanks for the input.
