I think my plants have been pollinated.

I had a hermi in the flowering room last week and now when i look into the buds and open the pods of the remaining plants i see really small green seeds. Im at the end of week five of flowering and the plants look good at the moment.

What is going to happen from here will the buds stop growing, will i still get a decent harvest?

i just recently had a hermie fuck up 20+ plants when taking the hermie out i would have put a bag over it then chopped it to take away, so no more pollen got thrown around, depending on how far along u are in flowering 1-2 weeks u should be ok 3-6 week ull seed alot of seeds, week 5-finish theyll be undeveloped seeds it just depends when it happens

how long does it take for seeds to develope fully into the brown ones youd buy?

If you leave them on a lot of them if its bad will pop right out of the pods. most will at least bust through and show the tips. Mine only took 2-3 weeks. You can spray that bastard down when pulling it out to make sure it does not spead more around and if your buds are not that formed yet you can spray them lightly to kill any residual pollen. Be very careful and maybe not spray them at all if you in high humidity area or too far along you dont want to get them wet or you may get mold. If its too bad you will see the plant stops producing as many trichs and its schwag sometimes. I have some buds that were seeded though that are still sticky as shit and smoke well anyway. I am cloning now to do away with the males period, and watch light leaks for herms

seems like every bud spot i look at has seeds? how the fuck could every part of every plant have seeds?

the pods are just suppose to be empty are they? everyone has a very small green thing in which i assume is the seed forming.

So gutted

Couple more questions on this, say my weed finishes in 3 weeks full of ripe seeds does the quality get affected or just the yeild?

the buds are massive as they are so i should still get a decent yeild.

also after ive cut what do i clean the room with and im guessing i need to be pretty thorough with the cleaning. just spraying the whole place with water be enough and wiping up?

it's going to effect quality and quantity unfortunately D; . I would use a light bleach/water solution, that way the bleach will kill most bacteria, mold, etc. GL sir.

Hmmm. I got a couple out of of a 5 plant batch which got knocked one time. Know what happened I had been handling and puffing on some schwag whilst I handled the darlins. I try not to do that anymore. I just stuck them in the hash box and havent yet been afflicted again despite not have cleaned the room at all. That was several grows back. Maybe just got lucky to not have any nasty old plant sperm lingering around the premesis. Or have been thus far anyway knock on wood. Now I did notice and fix the predicment fairly early in bloom phase.

Sorry about the bad luck dude... I'd be fucking so pissed. :(
The pollen will stay viable on the walls and in the air for months.... so after this grow make sure you dilute some bleach in water with a spray bottle.... and wipe down everything thoroughly.

If you have clones like you said, be extremely careful as you will transfer pollen from your hands/clothes/hair/etc to your clones.

i got six clones that are going to be others, once the flowering is done ill clean everything in the flowering room and then spray the mothers down with water and bleach the veg room too.

Really dont want this happening again. totally lost interest in it now just want to hurry up get the next crop started.
