Seeds in Weed ? Or just going nuts

I don't know if I'm seeing things but I just found 4 seeds in my chop bowel ???

- only grow my own stuff, never come in contact with any other plants,
- Only have 1 strain its all the same Dina Chem + fem , so all my plants are very much the same.
- only have 4 small plants they are outdoors though . I've just double and triple checked my current plants and can't see any signs of turning or seeds.

*Note - I started with 3 fem seeds and one turned out a hemi/male so my entire garden is from 2 seeds, and Ive never had any more plants show any signs of turning male. And im about 2-3 clones deep into the family tree.

So yeah has anyone ever seen just 1 or 2 seeds in a dry bud ? Should I be worried. Google search says the plant is turning but the plants been pulled a month ago lol. It was only 4 small seeds, none of my other bud from that harvest has any seeds that I can see visually, I didn't see anything weird looking or see any seed pods when trimming them before drying.. So where the bloody hell did these 3 seeds come from lol, are they even weed seeds or did I just somehow manage to get 4 random seeds in the chop bowl which gets clean every few days so they only just appeared within the last few hours. They sure as hell look like weed seeds though.. WHICH would be AWESOME.. cause I don't have any backup seeds of this strain just the clones,

This is the best pic I could get using my 50cent magnifying glass and phone

Your plant probably threw up a few 'nanners (male pollinia) deep within a bud (or two....keep smoking) and made a couple of seeds by itself. This is VERY common.

Are the seeds any good ? Should I even bother trying to crack them. I'm gona do it anyway just to see what sort of plant comes out the other side, or even if it cracks at all.

Keep in mind, this doesn't mean the plant is a hermaphrodite ("hermie")...It just means it has some intersex traits. If you grow out those seeds, the intersex trait may reappear in future generations to an even greater degree.

Ahh ok so they might be like when 2 cousins have sex and those children would be like these guys.. I might just bin them rather than the risk of growing some males etc. I'm happy with the strain as it is, just would of been sweet to have some seeds to keep for the future :(

Yeah...kinda...except it's not made from two relatives. It's even closer than that! ;)

From a female plant's perspective (if you can call it that), it just wants to carry on its genetic material...so it has a kind of "last resort" system built into it that allows it to....well....to fuck itself!

Intersex traits in plants happen a lot -even with seeds bought from reputable companies. Plants "want" to make seeds. It's their life's mission.

It's weird because the plant was great, never had any issues its whole life, the weed is just as good as its siblings gave out and the harvest was one of the biggest ones I've done yet which is 3 ounces :) Bare in mind all my pants small and live short lives, I'd rather easily take care of 5 plants than have to take really really good care of 1 plant :)

Well the 2 I jiffy'd both popped within 3 days so they are healthy seeds ! gona let them grow up at a friends place some distance away and see what they turn into ! I'd be really interested how much of the single parent traights these girls get. Hopefully they aren't just dud hemi's :(
