Occasional seeds in my harvest?

In the last 3 weeks of constant smoking i have found 3 seeds in my GG#4 harvest.(Feminized photo) AFAIK this strain is known for a tendency to herm so im not that worried about it. It was my first SCROG grow and the density of the foliage got completely out of control so i was not able to monitor the middle and lower buds as they formed - and i would not be able to quickly recognize the herm male flowers anyway due to my inexperience.

The seeds look healthy - so if i planted these seeds, would i get feminized plants, severely herm plants, or something else?
Would doing a grow with these seeds be acceptable compared to commercial seeds from reputable seed houses?

I should add that ive hopefully got enough weed for years, so am not planning another grow for at least a year. About a week more of hanging in the darkened tent and i should be able to start weighing buds. The screen you can see is actually a 2nd top screen, was intending to tuck any buds that breached it, but once they started growing that far i found they were too thick to bend and i was not brave enough to supercrop them.

Bottom left plant is a WW

GG4 from the JW cut is somewhat unstable, especially with all the training it takes to make it grow how you want (bad structure). But I have found that if it herms it usually late and will only affect individual branches and bud sights. If you see buds and banners pic or cut them early. Running 4 years and I have 8 mature seeds, most will be just starting so they will grind right in. I am saving to run and maybe back breed to my original mother if I get a male. My mother is a purple branched leaf twisting trichrome covered Bitch. The absolute stickiest Icky I have ever seen. And best for pain in my garden.
