Why is there "clone only" strains?

    So i smoked a bit and started thinking. There is strains like blue dream or original trainwreck (not GHS one) that are clone only strains because they come from one single mother plant that has its unique genetics.

    Well if mother is in vegging stage isn't it possible to stress it a bit so it goes hermie and then start flowering so it pollinaties itself? I mean, if plant pollens itself the seed genetics should be the same as mother plant, right? :confused:

    I hope some experienced breeders could answer my question. :rolleyes:

    That's the process of making feminized seeds. I'm now wondering why this would not work for clone only strains to carry on genetics. Great point!

    Maybe because it would expose the plants genetics to being more prone to be a hermie plant? Otherwise I'm not sure.

    Yeah, i thought about it too. But i think that is how breeding goes! Cross them for a few generations and choose only healthyest and biggest plants, keep only those plants who are 100% male or female to get a stable genotype, isn't it happening that way?
