Seeds found in clones?

Question to the gurus-once in a blue moon I will find one or two seeds on a plant that was a clone cutting from a very good dispensary near me. It may be one or two seeds on the whole plant, indicating to me that it is a self-pollinated seed. I had a Diamond OG Kush clone do this two years ago and the seed grew into a monster that far out-rivaled the clone from which it came. This year I got two seeds from a local cut of Santa Cruz Blue Dream, and also one form a clone of West Coast Sour Diesel.

Now, are there any hard and fast rules about seeds produced by a bract or two of female pollen from the mother clone? It would seem to me that these seeds would be prized, as they are more pure than S1 produced seeds in my opinion.

Any comments on this phenomenon? Any similar experiences? I'll update this as I grow out the few seeds I obtained from last year's outdoor crop.

Thank you

Ummm
Do u kno what s1 seeds are :confused:

S1 stands for self pollination so Any time a plant does that the seed is considered a s1 when u self a 2nd generation plant from a s1 u get s2

But for the first part i had good luck bagseed s1s ..

My understanding is that S1 seeds are produced from forcing a female to turn male, and then crossing it with the mom. Isn't that different from a clone-mother producing maybe 1 bract of female pollen to create a seed or two? Maybe the same thing but on a different scale.

Your right.. it's the same.. except it's called pollenizing not crossing..
Crossing would be with to different plants not the same plant..

In your case, it is also possible that one strain pollinated a second plant in your garden.
 
I was tagged in here so I just read the second post.. you hand a sour diesel clone and blue dream going at the same time? If so the yes it's possible one could of pollenized the other.. in regards to what @charface was mentioning, the S1 vs s1 .. a true S1 is a female plant or cut that was induced to produce male flowers .. the pollen used from them flowers on the same plant that they were made ..the resulting seeds would be true S1's. But using that male pollen on the same strain but different female would result is s1 seeds, which the offspring would have several different phenos .. the "true" S1 would have maybe two to three different phenotypes. (note the upper and lower case s.)
