    Default advice needed on plant that maybe accidentally pollinated/is growing seeds

    hey guys,

    so i have this durban poison plant that i think might have been pollinated. i had two other durbans from the three seeds i started that i killed because i thought they were males, but it seems like maybe i didn't do it in time? i didn't even see any male flowers really, i just cut em down because the other plant had shown female pre flowers and the other two didn't and still didn't two or three weeks later. the female durban i threw into 12/12 with two other female plants, i topped them all at the same time a week before that and the durban barely grew much at all after i topped it, where the cotton candy tops grew like 2 feet. i noticed it seems to be finishing faster than i anticipated (only 5 weeks so far under 12/12, but it seemed to start flowering before that even). i took a little bud to sample and noticed that there are tiny seeds, i've had little tiny seeds in buds that are barely noticable and look like poppy seeds before, but these are bigger and those were in unfinished plants. is it worth letting this plant keep going? the trichs are already cloudy. i don't know if this is a hermaphrodite plant (i've never had one and don't know what to look for).

    basically what i am asking is: my "perpetual" grow had a mishap so my unlimited weed supply ran out, i'll have more plants done in a month that are doing just great. should i bother buying $50 eighths from now until then if i can chop this plant early because it isn't going to get much better anyway? if it did get pollinated by the durban, then i will have a lot of pure seeds, so it might be worth growing it out just for those, but i've never done that before - if i do that, do i need to let it go longer than usual? or will there be plantable seeds in 2 weeks?

    I killed the males a while ago, is there any way if the plant is already pollinated that it could somehow pollenate the other plants?

    yes it definatly can pollinate the others,,if your keeping it for seeds which is what most would do,, i would keep it seperated from others,,,unless your looking for a buch of seeds,,,and you say it had little seeds in the bud,, i would wait until the seeds mature ,,you should be able to see the ready to pop out of the bud almost when ready,

    If you can't completely separate it from the rest of your grow..kill it and smoke it. Two birds with one stone kind of a thing

    Hmmm...what you need to do is check the other flowering plants for male parts...because males that haven't shown sex can't drop pollen...and you are saying you tossed 2 plants that were still vegging that you thought were male...
    I guess just listen to the guy that says your pollinated plant will pollinate others...lol...Males pollinate plants, and females that have hermied... Plants with seeds are the result of the pollination, not the cause...but for real check for boy parts on your female plants... without a male the only way you get seeds is if one of them is a tiny bit male...
    I apologize for my incessant rambling, but if you are patient there is inner hidden wisdom in most of my posts...Like playing literary "Where's Waldo."--------------- See, it's fun!

    yeah i guess it's possible it hermied. i didn't see any male flowers but that makes more sense to me than the other plants pollinating it. the stuff i tested got me fucking blazed and i'm out of shit to smoke so i guess i'll cut it, throw another plant into flowering, and get two birds stoned. thanks guys.

    No, there is no chance. Can a pregnant woman make other women pregnant just by being around them? That is basically what you're asking.

    No pollen, no pollination.
