Plant sex ?

[rb2006]

I have all female plants im my flowering room and thats what i took clones from, but two of the clone now flowering are male plants. not herms but balls all over the place. What makes this happen. I didn't think this could even happen. did I do anything wrong. Oh and yes they were my teo biggest plants I know the pics are not so good but Figured you would like to see anyway i will take more afte lights are out.I know they are male and cut them down already

I really don't know how this is possible. A clone is a genetic copy of the plant it comes from. If you clone a male you get a male, if you clone a female you get a female, if you clone a hermie you get a hermie. I'm assuming you already know that though. I will be really interested to hear an explanation to this, hopefully someone with some insight can answer.

now ive heard of feminized seeds turning into herms or males. during veg if they have had some sort of shock, or deficiencies. i wonder if there is a possibility of this happening with a clone.

I dont use any nutes on my clones till they are about 2 or 3 week old, but I guess anything is possable.but yeah i dint think it was possable that why i was wondering. kinda makes me mad becaues thats like 4 ozs lost. my two biggest plants. Thanks for the insight.

No problem man... ill do some pokin around and see if i can find any info on clones turning male. ill let you know

ps. it seems that the males are always bigger... i know the 2 i pitched from my crop were a lot healthier looking than the female

Well from what i have read in the last 10 mins or so, it is impossible for a clone to turn completely male they can go hermie from stress. so unless you cut those clones from a male they would at least be partly female even if they have had lots of stress.

:yeahthat:..like I said, it's really not possible for a female clone to turn completely male.

Well maybe it was part male and fem i dont know how to tell herms apart from a male. I guess either way I dont want any guys pushing up on my ladies. im the only man for them lol. Time to start over and make sure i get all the male or herms out thanks for the help!!!
