Hermaphrodite? Seeding? Please Help!

I had a bit of light leeking into the room, and had some timer issues, I just need some advice. If they are Hermaphrodite should I just cut them down now? They are in their first week of flushing.

Yeah, sorry to say, but those look like some open pollen sacs in pic 1, which means that some pollen has been released already. That last pic looks like a sac too, so it's pretty safe to say that you have a hermie. I can't say whether to chop them or not, because I'm not sure exactly what you have going on. If they'll all be done in a week or so, I'd probably let them go til they're done because the damage isn't going to get any worse in a week. But, if you have other plants that still have a few weeks left, I'd probably pull the hermies so they don't get ruined.

I have other plants plus a veg room right next door. I cut them and hung them. Lessons learned

my first grow did that too. I had em in one of those 1 foot deep closets with the sliding doors i thought that would be okay to keep most of the light out.

Ok..same thing happened in my bloom room w/ hermie. My veg. room is basically right next to my bloom room. Are my plants in veg. still safe? And how long when they get pollinated(plants w/ flowers) do they have till they start to produce seeds?

final week of flushing? those plants are nowhere near ready to harvest yet. i'd say 6 weeks or more. what do the trichomes look like? those buds have alot of fattening up to do. If i misunderstood what you meant sorry, my bad. lol

The problem is that now the longer you go, the more formed the seeds are going to be. You'll noticed the hairs dying off faster than usual, that means there's a seed forming at the base, you want to chop it down before that happens, no matter how developed (or undeveloped) the buds may appear, the longer you go, the more unpleasant the weed becomes, if it's full blown hermie.

Clean out your area and spray a weak solution of bleach water to kill off the pollin.

Ok. Thanks here's a few other questions. Whats the best way to tell if a plant has been pollinated? Like can i tell before the seeds start to form?? And whats like the shelf life of male pollen? Meaning how long is it toxic, do its damage?? When they are in 12/12 how long does it take a seed to grow from the very beginning?Thanks!!

the hairs will retract into the bud, how long exactly iy takes the seeds to mature im not sure, ive never had that problem.
