Male exposure, how long will affect the whole plant?

i have some plants growing and have noticed there are lots of seeds in two of them.. there was a male that sprouted first and was around them for a couple of days before i noticed it... :wall: there were only the first two hairs showing on the females when i removed it...

im wondering how my two plants have so many seeds...

shouldnt the male only pollinate the calyx's that are around when its around?

cheers

you can get pollinate from plants 5 miles away seal your room and if you did not put a bag over the males before you moved um u just spread pollan in you room hope the seeds are good, what strains?

Male pollen, produces THOUSANDS of seeds.
Female pollen..... eh not so many

Pollen stays good just as long as WAC said, and can travel just as far as WAC said. Not that your house is that big. But he was just trying to make a point. You need to clean that place up! Good luck. Sorry to hear about your girls all getting it in the butt. :/

did you look up a picture of a hermie yet so you know what to look for? It's either that it went hermie or the fact that in your other thread you said some of the male flowers had popped already when you removed it and its possible you had pollen in your grow area from the male still.
 
i have and i have the plant im suspicious of inside with me .... the were only small when i took the male out... theres 5 growing now and they seem pretty heavily seeded...

also its outside and gets heaps of wind and rain so i dont think it could be from the male... unless u guys think it is,

i cant decide if its a hermi though... the thing is two of them look kinda hermi.. but i dont really know what to look for

Pollen reaches Spain from Morocco having blown hundreds of miles across the Mediterranean. They put warnings on Spanish TV for hay fever sufferers.

But luckily it does seem to have lost most of its potency by the time it arrives.
 
if it is a hermi should i put it back out with the others and get what i can from it... it seems like all the seed pods have opened, cause i cant see many and there is lots of seeds already.

or kill it.....

kill it, i saw banana clusters in each pic that looked fresh pretty much, so its probally just gonna pollinate itself and your other plants even worse. Make some hash or butter.
 
banana clusters is a good way to describe em.. so if i see them, there male flowers right... and its a herm ( cause there are banana looking things)

also, cheers heaps for your help dude

are seeds from a hermi any good? noob q from a noob, and if all your plants are seeding out seeds are worth some donations to pull seeds when budds dry and the budds are good to smoke and seeds are donateible and u know how that works $$.

Female pollen = female seeds. No y chromo to make them male.
