Am i screwed???

hey guys names roullette, long time reader of these forums 1st time posting, was worried you could get bopped on here so i nvr signed up till today..

To my question an im really worried about this. first time farmer here. i have a DWC goin with 2 12" air bars in a rubber made bin. im using technafloral (think i spelt it right) chem nutes with distilled water keeping my PH at 5.8-6.0 checking every day an a ppm of 700ish lil lower lil higher never over 900. for lighting im using 200 watt florals (54 watts x4) with 5-7 cfls and i mixed spectrums and i have mylar around every thing.

I have 2 different strains ones a killer no name strain an the other i got from a buddy that he said it was around males early early when he did his, which his ended up with seeds.. he told me that his where around males a bout 1 month into veggin...........so im under the impression he had a herm an didnt research shit so i have been keepin an eye on them.

there 3 weeks into flowering..my strain is god damn rediculous the other strain i think has a hermie only one plant outta 2 though go figure... i noticed one of his strains has male bulbs poppin up and i started to pick them off with tweezers (god damn hermies). well i thought i got them all. today was looking at them and say open white flowers and i went to pick them off with the tweezers and saw lil pollen dust falling. instantly i grabbed my spray bottle an sprayed the hell out of the plant an soaked the buds the leaves u name it an started to pick off the rest of the open banana like flowers.

is it to late am i ganna have seeds? should i bag up the herm an snipp it an try to soak the rest of my babbies to try to wash off the pollen or am i SCREWED!?

ughhh im so pissed i knew i shoulda killed it. i am a newbie to farming but i think i have a pretty good grasp on what i should do. but this one im stuck on any tips from the pros??

thanx roullette,

A plant being a hermie is not really a big deal; it's waaaaaaay over rated. MJ plants tend to herm, period; it's their nature. You still get good smoke. I had one hermie that I didn't notice until it popped some pollen sacks and dusted a branch of one of my girls. I got one seed - that's it. The whole plant doesn't go to seed unless it gets a really good douching of pollen so it's no big deal. We tend to fuss over these things; growing this stuff is easier if we just kick back and let it happen.

hold up... so your saying that if pollen hits a single bud on a different plant that one bud could get seeds and not the whole plant?

if thats the case then im over it lol

That's it exactly. It seems that each individual flower has to be pollinated to produce seed.

So if you continually pick off the sacks???

No sacks = no seeds
