hermie 2 weeks before harvest

I have one of my plants that turned hermie 2 days ago. I saw some tiny green seeds hidden under the buds on a few of the lowest branches. The top seems all female still. I cut the branches, but I'm pretty sure she is going to keep growing seeds.

Since there is no pollen sacks, are my other plants in danger?
Should I remove every bud that get seeded?
Should I harvest early or just finish it and risk getting seeded buds everywhere?
 
You can get seeds without having a hermi or male. Pollen can travel over ten miles on just bugs, and much further on birds. Just the air can carry pollen a mile. Having seeds does not make a plant hermi. If you are unable to find male pollen being released more then likely the pollen is come else wear. When I breed I fuck up the whole town's buds, which is why I only grow males in the winter months. Open-pollination = FTW you just have to sprout over 100 seeds at a time and pick the top five winners for males and females.
 
I'm no scientist but I've read and believe that most females will eventually release a little pollen. This is natures last ditch effort for survival. This doesn't make the plant a hermie. If I were you I'd carry on and look harder close to the stem for pollen sacks and pluck them off. As for the seeds you've already got. If you let them fully develop they'll be fem. seeds. As long as their is only one strain in your tent you'll know exactly what you have. If you have multiple strains you will only be positive on half the cross but you'll know the possible crosses because it will be in that tent.
