hermie flowers

what does it mean when you get a little yellow flower in a bud? i heard that it was turning hermie, no seeds were ever presentand quality and yeild were never affected, if it is hermie, how does this happen, i've seen this on my outside and inside plants, ther from clones not seed. could a clone have been taken from a hermie plant and this trate passed down?

ilf you have yellow flowers in the bud then yes it is hermi. Happens due to instability in the strain, which can be further exaggerated if you use feminised seeds. Can also happen due to inconsistencies in the grow environment that puts the plant undrer stress.
the flowersws will then pollenate the seed pods on the plant, aswell as pollenating the rest of your grow. Best to chop them down before the flowers open and use for hash.

thanks david, thats what i needed to know

also hermies can be used to create feminised seeds as well. which in turn means that the hermie gene could be passed as well. since you are using clones i assume that you or someone you know well knows how to clone, thus i would kill the hermie. maybe flower one out somewhere different to get the seeds in case you cant get clones one day but other than that they are potentially hazardous.
ive kept the male flowers on hermie's picked off and they reverted back to female too though. so your call.

i've had a couple of plants do this on my last 2 crops, one was outdoor and one was indoor, it never produced any seeds nor did it affect any other plants in my grow, the clone that supplied my last 2 crops were from a 10 year old mom, that mom is now dead and gone, and we are just cloning off of out veggin plants.
