Fem beans are prone to 'Morph, and they will show that trait, sooner or later.
Keeping a Mother from a Fem bean will give u heartache and seeded herb down the line....

I think it's all stress. someone grows a plant as a clone from a femmed plant and then strokes it out with heat or weird treatment and then they blame the seed because they made a hermie. a clone is nothing more than a genetic duplicate of the plant it came from. a continued growth of the same genetically exact plant. how could it be different as long as it isn't stressed into becoming a hermie?
PieRsquare said:i guess what i'm saying is that if a plant is grown from femmed seed and grows to full veggy adulthood without showing any hermie tendancies, then a cutting is taken from that plant, that clone will grow to adulthood also without going hermie. how could it not? it's a genetic duplicate of the plant it came from. i can see if the first plant turned into a hermie and clones were taken either prior to or after the first plant showed it's hermie traits, that the cloned plant would follow in it's footsteps, but if the first plant was all female it's entire adult life, then chances are that the clone plant from it would also stay female. does that make sense to you?
