How much is ruined?

Grr.... yesterday upon close inspection I noticed a lower bud on a plant developing seeds (!!). I had what I thought was all 100% female. After REALLY pushing away buds (up until this point I never even touched them) I found two seed pods on two of my bad seed plants. There were a total of four seed pods on two plants, all on lower branches. I didn't notice them on previous inspections because they were really hidden well, and facing the wall.

Im really pissed off at myself, I knew I should have killed the bagseed plants even if they were flowering. I started them because this was my first grow and my genetics hadn't arrived yet. I knew they would cause problems.

I inspected the other plants carefully and found no evidence of seed development. Only one half of one bud on each plant is developing seeds. I think the seed pod was so well buried that the pollen may have not spread far.

I am really worried about my cali orange bud that is growing extremely well. Again, last night I found no evidence of seed development. The seeds I found on the plants with the male parts were extremely well developed, so I think this happened a while ago.

What are the odds that my entire grow is now seeded? Again, the pods were facing a wall, very well covered, and only four total in the entire closet. I have several plants that are in the first week of flowering and hardly have but a few pistils, any chance they could have been affected too?

Damn bag seed.

Have you checked your growing space for potential spot where light might be leaking in?

Darkness is not a problem, it is 100% black. Its the crappy genetics.

15 plants planted, 10 bag seed, 5 california orange bud. Of the 10 bag seeds, 6 became female initially, two went on to grow the male parts. The genetics are perfectly fine, its the crappy bag seed genetics.

The offending plants were summarily executed (I was angry), but Im now worried about seeds showing up more. Im thinking of getting rid of all the bagseed plants. For now, I am simply monitoring them very closely. The higheset yielding plant I have is a bagseed so I kinda want to keep it. Its about 5 ft tall and looks to have about 3-4 oz. Still, I would much rather smoke the genetics, they look 10x better.
