How soon into flowering can a plant be pollinated?

Hi all,

In the flowering room, there are (2) 4x4 flood tables side by side with (4) plants on each table. The first table (Table 1) is at exactly 5 weeks of flowering, while the second table (Table 2) is at exactly 2 weeks of flowering.
There are 2 separate strains on Table 1 (2 White Widow & 2 Unknown bag seeds) & 1 strain on Table 2 (AK47)

I noticed last night that the 2 bagseed plants on Table 1 weren't filling out as fast as the WW. I also spotted what looked like a few bananas showing in their buds. Upon further inspection of the lower sections of the bag seed plants, I noticed many clumps of male sacs.. Some looking like they have already opened up (I should have noticed this sooner but didn't) :dunce:

My question is, when is the soonest a female plant can be pollinated? I am assuming that the 2 WW plants in Table 1 will be pollinated and full of seeds at harvest.. But what about the plants in Table 2 that are at 2 weeks of flowering?

I removed the Herms and I am wondering whether it would be best to just scrap and start over, or let the seeded plants finish, and continue with the plants in Table 2 as planned? Will the seeds be worth running? Or with they just go herm as well?

Opinions/Comments/Condescending remarks welcome :eyesmoke:

They would be pollinated by now , if the nuts opened and just a pinch of pollen goes floating around then consider all pollinated.

Air circulation is what does it. Once they get pollinated They slowblooming to a crawl and start making seeds. If the plants hermed out and threw its pollen around , consider those seeds more than likely herm prone.

My 2¢ .... Next time pop Bagseed plants SEPARTELY OR IN ANOTHER ROOM , to less the chance of iffy plants are not going to ruin any other girls.

People seem to forget that BAGSEED is from a hermed plant , Brickweed , Street Swag or whatever the shit is called is all grown in some shit field in Mexico , sprayed with God knows what , INBRED among each other , full of bugs and usually a very WEAK STRAIN .... Thus .... the bad beans . Everytime I did one , most were prone to stress / leaf problems / weird growth / herm / mutations ...etc.

They are fun to play with sometimes , but are just not really all that. But there are some interesting plants pop up from time to time.

It is what it is, either finish and have lots of smoke with a few seeds or start again and have nothing to show for a longer time.

Personally pollen never travels very far in my grow tents and bud is not seeded much but i dont use much wind.
