Ilya11:
IVIA358 is completely seedless if you isolate its flowers.
But the cross-pollination with the foreign pollen is able to brake the self-incompatibility.
Since IVIA has an exceptional amount of pollen, many seedling will be of ichangensis type coming from self-fecondation.

I'd personally say decide how many you want to keep and grow out to full size. Maybe it's five maybe it's thirty. Once you've decided, you can start thinning. After a few true leaves you should be able to see which ones are poor growers and which ones look unique, which can help you in deciding what to keep. You don't have to thin all at once, you could thin out half of what you need and then do another round of thinning later on for example.
But definitely decide now how much space you're willing to spare, otherwise you'll run out of room.
That'd be my approach.
Peep:
Does this have the potential to become a chimera? Kumquat Marumi on Poncirus. The sprout looks to be trifoliate.
I haven't looked into the creation of chimeras, I just happened to see this while I was fertilising my plants. I removed suckers when I saw them, but this one is at the edge of the graft union, so I didn't remove it and wanted to ask here about it.
It's a whip and tongue graft, let me know if it's unclear where the graft line is, but it seems fairly clear on the pictures.
Millet:
Clearly looks like it just comes from the rootstock.

Yeah it's right up to the edge I think, but on the rootstock. I don't have much knowledge about chimeras (don't plan on trying to make them), so I wasn't sure if it needs to be like half on the rootstock and half on the scion, or something else.
