i hate ball sacks( maturation of pollen?)

sooo this is my first real grow, i came across a bunch of seeds from this exceptional bud that id gotten a while back,
i grew out six figuring 50/50ish, two, three, or four, would have been perfect for my small space... fast forward... theyre all fem
and budding seemingly well for bout two weeks now... yesterday i found a few balls on a couple, went into a mild panic and started surgery, it was not more than a single tightly drawn ball per node as opposed to hanging clusters
my question: is pollen from early male flowers that have not dropped and are about 1/16 inch able to pollinate? .. is pollen instantly mature?

if the sack is open it let pollon out and impregnated some of your crop, also i never use fem seeds their a waste IMO all a fem seed is is a seed from a hermie plant so u will never get males but will get hermies, cuz the mom was a hermie so its in its genes to hwermioe out

yea i guess thats what they were... the bud came from a professional grow they must have slipped up with a late blooming hermie or something cuz the balls are just now showing... i been watching them pretty closely, but theyre gettin pretty dense.
one of them opened but i think it was because i kinda diggin around and didnt notice it. i figure the spread of pollen should be minimal because it wasnt dry. right?

id have to disagree on fem seeds being a waste... im growin skunk #1 fem. and due to me being newish i started flowering too late for my growroom, so the plants got way to high. This means that the 400w HPS i have on them is like... 3 inches to 4 inches away from some plants... i also messed up a little on the nutes. All in all i had bleaching, heat stress, nute burn, and i switched around some pots to accommodate space so i had some root plant stress. Well after this whole battle... they're still looking absolutely gorgeous. This shows me that a genetically stable strain of any fem seed will be JUST AS GOOD as normal.

im not going to argue about this but first off i said in my own opinion cuz everyone has a different one and if your geneticaly stable strain of a fem seed is just as good as a non fem seed THEN WHY PAY DOUBLE THE CASH FOR THE SAME SEED. also IMO a fem seed is not stable cuz it comes from a hermie plant simple as that people make u think they do all types of shit to it but they dont, al in all your seeds are geneticly hermie also IMO, i would never pay the price of fem seeds even clones are cheaper and they are 100% garuntee female:leaf::-P
