Like I was saying before, pollinating plants doesn't affect the overall potency, because only the calyxes that receive pollen will be affected. And even then the area around the calyx will still produce plenty resin (aka potency), only if pollinated it will also have to spend resources on growing the seed inside it's calyx.
Whatever calyxes you pollinate will produce seeds if the pollen is viable. If you do it very carefully, you can easily do just select branches and keep the rest sinsemilla. If you do it sloppily, you'll end up with a lot more random seeds in a lot more places. It's all dependent upon you and the way that you pollinate the plants as that's what will determine how many seeds you get and where they are located on the plants.

i remember you telling me this...i just wanted to hear it from a couple more people before i went and pollinated most of my plants. i just did tho. i want too careful being that a couple seeds here and there wont make a difference. how long should i wait to spray pollen with water? i have fans off so excess pollen from pollinated nugs doesnt spread undesirably. nugs are gettin big man! ill post some up this weekend.

Sorry buddy, I wasn't trying to be all 'I told you before'ish! But glad you dove in, you'll find out soon enough what I've been talking about and after this first time all your questions will be answered.
I didn't even spray my plants. I just did the pollinating very carefully. But I also pulled the ones I pollinated out of the flowering chamber so the other's didn't get contaminated. But if you did it all in the room yo flower in you can indeed spray everything (plants, pots, walls) down with plain distilled water Ph'd properly to nutralize any rogue pollen. Whatever has hit the plants has already done the damage, but you can get rid of it for next time. Just wait until lights/fans are about to come on for the first time after pollinating and sitting in the dark period for 12 hrs, and then 10 mins before lights/fans on just spray everything down. Shazaam.
