Hey guys! Its been a LLLOOONNNGG time since ive been here! Even longer since I've been in the growing scene! Long story as to why, which I wont bore you guys with dont worry 
.
With that said, I have been growing a few mothers the past 3-4 months roughly. since then, I've cutt about 20 clones or so from each of them off and on throughout a few months. Now one of them, my most favorite strain, "Deep Purple", nearly died.. (fire/forced evacuation). When coming back, I was lucky to have all of them alive. But 1, my deep purple was hit the worst.. About half of the entire plant died, and I had to remove it. The past 3-4 weeks It bounced back perfectly, paid it alot of attention, looked very healthy and as far as I knew, as it was in a prime environment. However just today I noticed that shes growing seeds on the very top most branches.. I find it weird that my mothers are slightly flowering a bit when they are under 24 hours of light. But my deep purple strain is 100% showing early seed production cluster/sacks on every top most branches of the plant... I am very concerned as I currently only have 1 clones left of the deep purple, and I'd hate to have to turn it into a new mother all over... Now that ive expressed all that, I have a couple questions that I hope I can get some insight on.
1. Can I save my mother?? I've heard that if it hermies, its basically donzo... Any clones from here on out, will most likley have a risk of having a hermaphrodite gene within them now.. As well, even know my mother is in veg, it is for some reason growing seeds still... The fact its flowering when it shouldnt be flowering is leading me to believe this genetics are tainted now... What is any advice on this? Should I keep it and hope it reverts goes back to normal? Or just not waste my time with tainted genetics?
2. If it did Hermie, would it be worth growing the seeds to get feminized seeds? Im not to familiar with feminized seeds, so any advice with this would be helpful.
3. should I possibly flower the hermied mother, take the pollen from the seeds that mature/crack open, and cross it with a different strain that I desired, creating a whole new strain??
Any advice and/or constructive criticism is greatly appreciated, thanks.

That is the option to buy another deep pruple seed, but this particuylar strain is from a tender that doesnt exist anymore and was some prime genetics... I truly will be sad to start the hunt for my desired tender again.. But, seems I will have to trash the deep pruple sadly.. Thanks for the advice guys. Any idea why this particular mother and a few other mothers are shwoing early signs of flowering when under 24 hours of light?
