Theres a few of these yellow things underneath some of the buds on one plant, does anyone know what they are.
Can't really tell. Can you move leaves out of the way? Also if you post "full picture" it will zoom in more on here. I would say to snip one off, but if it's a pollen sack you would want to be careful with that.

Pulled the yellow thing off, it was a polen sack, shall I just cut the plant and dry it or leave it in the tent
Show the whole plant. I see lots of frost and lots of brown pistils. How long til you were planning on harvesting anyway?

Not a pro, but I think your worry for pollination will be fresh white pistils, or browns with some white left at the base. It looks like you are close anyway, so I would remove what you can and not worry about it. If you get a few seeds plant them! I don't think it can ruin those buds that are already done.

That said, if you have any other plants going I would put a garbage bag over it and take it outside and chop it. I would also give the room a good cleaning after just to be safe.

If they are mature sacks, save the pollen - then figure out what to do with it :)

If I find a strain that I like enough I may get a pack of reggies and make my own seeds.

What I was saying is that the little side-shoots left on, (I see one on the top left of your pic) detract from the size of the top. That said, I don't know how nugbuckets got 2-foot cola without leaving stuff on below the tops. For me, I keep pruning every shoot until I have decided when to flip. After I flip, I give it 2-3 weeks for it to flower then prune any other stuff that looks to be small. You can let them all go and have a canopy like a scrog, or prune them all and have big tops, or anywhere in between. If the stems of the shoots get fat like they'll produce good flowers, leave them.

It sucks cutting away future flowers, but you can either have a 5g cola and five 1g nuggies, or a 10g cola. Your plant is going to produce about the same either way.
Got my 2 , 260's yesterday , my one lady is 32 days into flower , is it to late to cut off a few smaller lower branches , so the colas can fatten up ? heres a pic. of her now ,

Factual answer - yes
Grower answer - plan on that next time.

As a general rule about 3 weeks into flower is when I give mine their final prune. Once pistils pop, the plant stops making new nodes and starts stacking flowers. That node part is what I watch for. If I want big cola I prune off every shoot below the tops that has it's own shoots. So if the sprout has a stem, and leaves just opening, I leave them. If a set of fan leaves has already opened on it and there is another one popping, it's gone.

If you do it now, you'll get bigger tops, but how much weight are you going to sacrifice versus what you gain? You should have brown pistils showing up now, and then they'll start to fatten. Those pistils dying tells the flower it failed to produce a seed. So it tries again and that is when it plumps up.

The problem is that you're at that in between stage. If you snip larf, the trichomes are still clear - little or no THC. So it's trash. Looks like you have good light penetration though, so even those lower ones should make some plump little nugs. That's the stuff you get to play with sooner because it dries quicker :)

just starting to get a few brown pistils. so just let her rock as is then ? no fan leaf defoliation yet ?
