Clones in Veg have seeds

Hello All,

Hoping to get some advice. Long story kinda short;
I recently cropped out 3 plants. A gelato, wedding cake and gorilla glue#4. All started from feminized seeds. Late in flower I noticed the gelato beginning to herm. (I know should have caught it earlier)... Didn't have the heart to not let it finish. Solid beautiful buds. (Turned it all into bubble hash anyway). Wedding cake ended up slightly seeded. Couple per dube maybe.
G.G#4 is hanging right now. For sure some seeds, not sure how bad.
To my question,
I took clones from the G.G#4 3 weeks into flower. Been doing monster cropping for last few runs. Just recently moved into veg room. Took forever to root, but have ridiculous amount of roots and are taking off. Upon inspection today I found a lone seed in one of the clones (still in veg mode). I'm not 100% sure that it wasn't there in the small bud when cloned. I really don't want to scrap the clones.( Mother ended up huge, tight, frosty buds). So I'm thinking my options at this point are;
1. Grow them out, hope for the best. Worst case scenario turn it all into bubble.

2. Scrap them. Start fresh fem seeds, puts me easy 5-6 weeks behind.
Not sure my best option. Any chance these clones end up seedless? Planned on vegging for at least few more weeks. I apologize for the super long post. Long time lurker, first time poster. I appreciate any/all advice or opinions. Thanks in advance.

Some scenarios I'm running through.
Original grow was 3 feminized strains. It's possible that one (I'm assuming the gelato) had hermie traits, hermed and spread pollen to other two. Also possible they hermed do to some sort of stress. I don't believe this is the case but definitely possible. In either of these scenarios, what possible outcome would face the clones? I'm thinking along the lines, if they hermed due to stress there would be no bad traits in clones? If the gelato was the culprit would the clones (from the GG#4 ) be likely ok. Or would they be covered in pollen when I cut them so already going to seed?

Also Any thought on my.clones (as to likelihood of hermimg)?
[/QUOT i personally wouldnt keep any seeds from any of those no matter if they were from fems or not. Youll run into the same problems due to the hermie traits passing on .. On the other hand of your gg4 Clones.. If they developed bud sites and hairs at that time you cut them then yes they were pollinated from your gelato. Depending how long its been between the tine of you finding out and now if its more than a month then the pollen wont be active. If not you got pollen floating around as we speak.

I think I am following. Would vegging these clones for longer somehow prevent them from going full hermie? Would the pollen be able to "impregnate" during vegging? Sorry, I have limited knowledge on the whole pollination process. I really hate to scrap these clones. Took forever to root.

Id Reveg anything but the gelato since its hermied. But the process of revegging is big stress to plants especially a clone and could even cause your other 2 strains to hermie themselves. Just try it out and check up on new bud sites that will grow. Its worth the try. :bigjoint:

I found a seed in a reveg once upon a time. I didn't notice till harvest. It was in the calyx on the stem. Just 1 seed, on the stem, no bud around it. I think it probably was like you have here with the seed being there the whole time.

I'm hoping that's the case. I took these clones a few weeks into flower. Took forever to root, growing super mutated. But they are really starting to pick up. Roots like I've never seen. The trees I took the cuttings from are hanging now (finished last). I'm super impressed with the size/density of the buds. Hoping it's as good as it looks with minimal seeds(the suspense is killing me) Gelato had quite a few, wedding cake had less. Cant tell the extent of seeds in the GG#4 till I chop some up . On a side note, lots of bubble hash to smoke from the gelato. Lol
