Who's got 2 thumbs and is an a@$hole

this guy is. Hello all. I have an issue here. Long story short. had a male in my tent for sexing one week three days. Was in a rush to go to work decided to take out after. 5 hours later FUCKED. pod opened :cuss:

heres my questions
1. Can i go through and pick out what i see now so they dont mature? (probably gonna keep a couple)
2. If i went back into veg would the pollen die and the seeds diminish?
3. If i cloned the females they would develop seeds right.
4. If all pollen is gone can i put other females in without the worry of them getting seeds?


Thanks for all the help

1) you mean pick off the pollen sacks from the other males...sure. They'll grow more though. You can put it back to veg and it might stop growing new ones until you flower again.
2) good question. the problem with pollen is that once it gets somewhere, it gets in everything. You should shut off any fans you have, remove all your plants, and scrub down the grow room with bleach. This will prevent any future plants from becoming pollinated. You could try trimming off the pollinated buds and putting it back in veg, but I'm not sure that will work.
3) if you clone a female you should be able to grow it out without seeds. Presumably you're going to veg it out for a while before you flower it (meaning you have time to clean the room), so as long as no new pollen gets in the room your clones will be sensimilla.
4) already answered...yes. If the room is scrubbed clean and the pollen totally removed, you are safe to put other females back into the room. It gets in every little nook and cranny though, so you must clean thoroughly!

You may be able to take your female plants that got pollinated outside and spray them off to remove any excess pollen from them. There are products like Dutch Masters "Reverse" that may help your situation, but I don't know enough about it to say it definitely will or will not help.

You're not an asshole. These things happen. You should have taken it out as soon as you thought it was male though.
