ya sucks did you clone the plant a lot some times it brakes down it happen to me a skunk#1 after two years of cloning it. or you dark to light is messing up and your shocking the plant making it go crazy make sure no light is leaking in the grow room
If it was a fem seed be sure to contact the vendor with photos. Then let us know what is done to make it right. Customer service drives my wallet.

WOW! That is the most obvious sign of hermie I've seen on this site so far! Thanks for sharing. As many generations of clones as I have taken, I now know what to watch out for.

Did all your clones show signs of herming, or was it just a few? Did you try and develop feminized seeds?

My goal is to keep a strain I like going without having to start over with seed. But if, after a while, it starts to hermie, I'm seriously thinking about trying to get them to seed. From what I read, it's better to cross pollinate a male pod to another plant of the same strain and not self-pollinate, to avoid genetic tendency to hermie. Is this correct thinking?

Actually it was never cloned, it is (was) a Ganja Dwarf Autofem strain that I purchased for my 1st time out. Will definitely send pictures to seed bank.
Where did you get that seed from? Was that bag seed?
That doesn't look like a stress Hermi. That looks like a generational hermi. Like someone gave you seed from a hermi. That is way too immature to have both parts from stress. If you paid for that I want to know where from!!!!

It was my first time buying seeds, and I purchased them from Amsterdam Marijuana Seed Bank.
They say auto fems are easy to turn hermi since they really are a hermi.
The really need to collect the pollen from one fem they turn and use it on another fem to make strong Fems.
Good luck. They will probably give you a $10 off coupon where you should buy normal seeds and breed yourself a batch. If you want to know how to do that just ask as I just explained it in a journal so I can point it to ya.

They took no responsibility for the bad seeds, just gave me a list of ways I could have stressed them out....never will I buy from them again...
Yeah I had to get pretty short with the guys I had to deal with just to get the coupon.
So I hate to say this but I really feel Autos are for experienced growers only. Once the plant starts bloom a cascade of chemical reactions are occurring that are out of your control as the plant is basically going through the last stages of life. In Veg we can do all kinds of crazy things and fix it and restart it and whack it back and it will be fine but once bloom starts you are driving down hill without breaks. Since autos start bloom nearly immediately you not only have to know how to transition them after 2 weeks of growth but you have to know how to flush them properly. You really need to know about nute balance and raising it and lowering it in a very short window. If you are i soil that can be very difficult for a newb.
I know a lot of people go after them up front thinking they are easier but they are actually much more difficult than regular seeds. The only thing that is easier is the easiest thing about growing which is you don't have to use an automated light timer. But you do have to know a lot of things about growing to hit it correctly.
