Showing sex why?

Well my baby is about 5 months old now and my lighting has been kept on 24/7 i have taken clones from her i took 3 of them and none took. about a week after i took the clones now shes showing her hairs. Why is my plant showing its sex? I haven't turned the lights back to 12/12 or anything. I had 3 plants going, i took 3 clones from each to see what there sex were well i succeeded in getting 4 of the clones to root which is the 2 plants i think are males. This momma plant well i know its a female now cause for some reason is showing hairs I need this plant to stay a mom to take clones from do i have to go ahead and bud it out or what. I dont understand. I just not sure why the clones didn't take either. I misted all three plants heavily for a week before cloning. I have a dome did everything as right as i know how. This is my second grow but is my first grow as hydro. And suggestions is much appreciated. Thanks guys!

at the end of the plants life cycle it forces itself into flower regardless of light timing. you vegged her for 5 months, you have waaay more patience than most bro...

its ready to bud... the same thing happened with mine.

So i am forced to bud her now and i will not get a successful clone now. I was under the impression that i could keep a mom plant and always take cloned from it.

keep topping it. you can keep the same plant no problem
you should look it up in the growing faq section.

Topping it meaning i should take the clones from the top and they should take?? this is my big worry right now is getting female clones to bud out. If i keep the light at 24/7 your saying my plant will continue to bud? im growing white widow if this helps. I gotta do whatever i can to get clones from this plant before its to late i guess.
