Are My Plants F*$&ed? Self Pollination

Week 4 flower.
Two days ago while pruning my plants, I found some nanners on a lower region of my plant. Some pollen spilled onto the stripped branch directly underneath the nanners. I removed the affected minor cola that possessed the nanners, wiped the branch with a 1/3 bleach/ 2/3s water solution, and sprayed the area with mighty wash. The pollen didn't get everywhere and didn't really become airborne. None of the surrounding pistils, or any other pistils on any of my plants have turned to amber. The vast majority are white. With a few amber's here and there. I opened multiple bracts which contained tiny(pen head sized) premature seeds. Will I have a few seeds here and there in my plants since most pistils are still white, or are my plants fucked and I'll harvesting shit tons of seeds? Any experience shared on this would be greatly appreciated.

If you are seeing nanners this early in flower, is is probably tied to a light leak or some other environmental issue. It could also be the genetics.

Pollen is microscopic and it is safe to assume that if you see pollen your going to have seeds. Defiantly in the area you found it, probably near your filter/exhaust etc..

If you are in week 4 your going to see more hermis for sure. If it was me, I would find the source of the hermi issue and fix that right away. Then do your best to pinch of nanners as you find them. You’ll end up with some seedy herb but all is not lost.

This has happened to me before I plucked the ones I saw and checked every day for more cause they’ll keep coming! But a few seeds won’t hurt anything and if u like the end product u may want to keep the beans

Yeah, I dont believe I have any light leaks, as I've expected the whole box in pitch blackness and no cracks illuminate. I read up that Sunset has a tendency to herm, along with the other cookie fam strains. I haven't found any more nanners on any plant. I'll be inspecting daily. Thanks!

Nice, yeah bro I plan on checking every day for sure. I'll probably have a few seeds on the little lemon tree as well, some lemon×sherbert cross. Should be fire if they dont hermie. Thanks!

I got a shitton of nanners on my gg4 at week 4 I plucked some but couldn't get to all of them I let the plant finish and found maybe 1 or 2 seeds from a couple lb....also grew a strain called 4g didn't see any nanners during the grow found a couple during trim but that strain I found like 20 seeds in the first qp so it's all down to luck haha if it's just some lowers I would guess some light is getting in through your exhaust vents I tend to find a few small buds near the vents with seeds pretty often.

Good info bro! I'd be fine with 20 seeds a qp. Yea that may be a possibility, maybe the super tiny holes in the exhaust ducting(foil, accordion style). I haven't found anymore yet so I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks!
