Question about passing on genetics. Environment vs genetics in offspring.

Question that i'm hoping someone knows the answer, I got some seedlings going indoor which I plan to flower outdoor. I got them under 24h fluorescents but its hot and humid in Hawaii right now so I see signs of heat stress. Now outside they dont get that, but we are going to have a rainy and ultimately bad winter so maybe i'm better off making seeds, but then again maybe not..... which leads to my question:

If my F13s which look tortured by the high heat and humidity wind up hermie, and I know breeding with hermies isn't ideal, but if I breed with that hermie and the femenized seeds that result are grown WITHOUT stress in an entirely different environment, will those genetics pass on the EXPERIENCE of hermie to the offspring despite no more stress, or will the femenized seeds genetics be just as if that plant Didn't hermie? I would think genetically only the information and not which information got triggered when would be passed on by parent, but i'm conflicted on this making sense... Maybe its because I just tested my outdoor vortex after a few days drying, but I really want to know if I breed with a hermie because of stress if the offspring will be more likely to hermie, or without the same growing environment would do just as well?

Thanks, and forgive my bit of ranting, I tend to do that when smoking good weed.
 
NOrmally I just put the germed seeds in pots outside in hot non-rainy months for my personal. But having a lot of agriculturalists in my genetic history i found i'm kinda good at this growing my own medicine.... but to prepare for a winter grow to test these strains i purchased I decided to veg, and also keep my little area for flower going so my plants can all finish first (they got some bugs outdoor i dont want to pass on if I dont have to... might not help but why risk it). So the children if I do breed with these will be grown outside... for an idea of my genetics i got 2 of each of these: Querkle (look forward to it), Pineapple Express (I've heard awsome things), RKS (i love skunk, this is the really killer skunk by RP not RS), and Dj Shorts F13. All are from breeders packs and legit so the odds of good smoke are very good.. so if I stress them and can't trust the weather for the ideal smoke maybe seeds would be cool to see what I get? Even if it doesn't hermie out of the Querkle and F13 I should get at least 1 male for a father and maybe I wont kill it (but i would keep it from budding too much to avoid seeding any unknown neighbor growing.... WHich is why hermies seem better for my situation, because i'd feel horrible if someone was secretly growing a plant in my neighborhood and I seeded it with an outdoor male. I'd hate that if someone did that to me too. This thought process brought up the curiosity of what DNA information in marijuana is passed on tot he offspring.... Would a set of identical twin marijuana from same seed if grown in two different environments, one with stress, one without, and they bred with another set of identical twins, who were also grown in totally different environemtns, one with stress one without.. and the seeds were then brought to the same environment (with no selection after those parents bred just their f1 seeds) and both sets of seeds were grown in a third type of environment.... would the offspring of the mating of the two different sets of twins have different rates of hermie and traits due to their parents experience with stress, or because it was the same genetics in both situations regardless of stress would the seeds all act as similar because the environemnt didn't play a role in the genetics of the offspring?

Told ya I rant a lot.
 
I didn't say that.

Hermi genes are passed on regardless of environment.

Environment may cause the trait to manifest itself, or not. Some plants will hermi in a perfect environment, some with mild stress, some take more.

But if it's there, it's there and it's best not to breed with them.

if ur plants were not hermie and were stressed to make hermies
then ur seeds should be fine unless subjected to the same stress
 
it is in their genetics to hermie under stressful conditions. it depends how much stress you put them under. try out a couple if you dont stress them too much youll most likely be alright. personally i wouldnt breed any more seeds with them
