Cloning Pollenated plants, good or bad

My 4 plants just got pollenated a few days ago. I read and heard that taking clones is fine from pollenated plant.

Will they mature as females with no hermie or male traits?

I took 12 clones last night (3 from each plant)... was this a waste of time?
 
I forgot to add... the 4 plants that got pollenated were only in flower for 8 days (as of yesterday) The flower sites are small with the two signature pistils sticking out. Pretty early in the flowering game... .but not to early to get preggy!

Also, your thoughts on: Will the 4 plants that got pollenated turn male or just be a female with seeds?

I washed the plants to remove all the remaining pollen, washed the walls, ceiling, everything. then a light bleach wash.

All new future flowers would be female if they don't get pollenated. Correct? I can clip the male buds as they form, correct?

All feedback would be great.

Ive taken a clone from a plant that was pollinated. The flower actually produced 2 seeds.

It took a while to root, was the most stubborn cutting Ive taken that I didnt give up on. But it did root, grew some funky leaves for a while then finally had normal growth.

I took cuttings from that and she went into flower. She's 4-5 weeks into flower and looks great.

The first 2 pics are of the pollinated flower that I cloned.
The last 2 are of her taken a week ago, she went berserk over the last week. Cant take an updated pic, light is off ATM

well yeah you can clone a pollenated plant.

pollenating a plant cannot change the plants sex, nor induce herm.

plants in flower can be a bitch to clone, when you throw in the added energy requirements for seed production your looking at serious recovery delay.

in the future NEVER pollenate an entire plant, your plant only has so much energy to spread around. it grows alot of flowers (buds) to catch as much pollen as possible, to reproduce, seed production takes almost 4 times as much of a plants energy, by seeding the entire plant your telling it to send all its energy to healthy seeds, and that bud production isnt a priority. and also nobody likes seedy bud

next time just pollenate ALL of ONE branch.

im taking it from the whole scrubbed the walls and such, you let a male pop in your grow room. heres some advice for next time.

when you find a male cut off all but ONE branch. (now you have more room for fem's) when you see that lone branchs pollen sacs begin to open up, CUT IT, put it upside down in a plastic bag, hang at room temp, in 1-3 days the inside of the bag will be coated with enough pollen to last a year (no it wont store that long) allow to rough dry for 1-2 days, store in cool dry place. apply with paintbrush
