If I were to use ga3 to get fem pollen and used it on a clone from the same mother is this still considered selfing? Also are there any problems this can cause genetically effecting stability or anything?

The only way to self-pollinate cannabis is to reverse one clone and pollinate another non-reversed clone of the same plant. Whether one of those clones is the 'mother plant' does not matter.

Producing seeds by any method can lead to genetic problems. It all depends on what your goal is and how much planning and execution you've committing to achieving it!

Selfing plants is used to fix traits, but at the cost of producing many weak or sickly plants. Especially if the process is repeated for more than a generation or two. Sam_Skunkman found that this was a serious problem by S3 and S4:

We made several almost homozygous lines, but did not finish as they were zero vigor and almost impossible to use for a pollen source, they were all but functionally sterile. They did make pollen but it was sticky and did not drop. (dehiscence) You could use a q-tip and pollinate but it gets worse every further S generation.

Or of course reverse one branch/bud and pollinate another non-reversed bud on the same plant. ;-)
