I put my plants (grown from 6 feminised seeds) in 12/12 15 days ago. I have been away for a week and when I came back I noticed that one of my girls decided to grow some balls. I remove it immediately but i think it was growing balls since 8-9 days ago. Have I got rid of it in time or is my whole crop compromised? Thanks in advanced

What strain is it?
I had a whole pack of Reserva Privada Kosher Kush (fem) go fully hermie after about 14 days. If you have hairs at the crook of the node (the female flower), with little stalks with balls on underneath the node (the male plant) then they are herms and you're better off starting again (well, dumping all of them at least, keep any other strains you may have, they shouldn't be pollinated yet).
The one the hernied is Jack Herer. I have 2 more of the same strain+3 other strains in that growroom and after a very careful inspection they all seem to be absolutely fine. From what i've read male plants flower 2-4 weeks before the females( so not before week 4 of flowering) and that is when they release the pollen. However I'm not sure if this applies to hernies or even if it's true.
The pollen sacks seemed to be green and "not ripe" and they did not seem to be popped. I really hope for the best as it is the first time i flower under my new and improved light system
