you could put them back in veg or do as you said and pluck them as they mature but if you grow it right and because it was so early you are lucky. just bud as normal and when you harvest de-seed the plant that's what i would do. there is no goin back in time and i know how you feel about a response its like if you dont got any rep you wont get no answers. its the fucking facebook of weed these motherfuckers are soi focused on thier rep they forget why they are really here to GATHER AND SHASRE INFO. i dont knows whats up with all non responders.... hope i helped

Nothing you can really do now. Just finish the grow as you would if they didnt get pollenated. As long as the female plants were not femmed beans then the seeds should be just fine. If the females were from femmed beans then the seeds they produce will have a tendancy to hermi, not all of them, but certainly enough to make them almost unusable.

You can just leave the bud alone and since it was early in flower the bud will just grow around it. If you know which braches are pollinated and which aren't you might put a little piece of string around the pollinated branches if you want to gather seeds. The less you mess with picking around your bud the better off you will be, less chance of accidents and injury to the plant.
As far as non responsers......well RIU has gone through some changes as far as many of the old growers and the newer wave of grower. There has been much more arguing and name calling which tends to lead to much less exchange of ideas. Most oldtimers here are here just help without regard to praise, but seems we answer that same questions day after day.
Hope this helps you and remember to keep sharing your knowledge also as you gain it.

you never let the seeds mature, so they are worthless..

I don't understand. Are you trying get seeds, or are you trying to grow quality bud to smoke? I always thought if the plant is producing seeds, then its not putting enouph energy into making the THC resin. No disrespect on your "sexy seedy monsters" but thats what i was taught. what do you guys think?

i wasnt trying to get seeds at all in the first place. i had a male plant show up n polinate m shit while i was away. i cant tend my babes everyday like i wish i culd =/

my intentions of my grow was for good ass quality smoke. now i got some good ass seeds and im sure the smoke will still be just fine =]

Nop. What's done is done. When pistols accept the pollen they pistol dies and that's when seed starts to get produced. After your girls are ready to harvest you harvest the seeds to or just leave it on them dry then harvest the seeds and dry the seeds out if you want to keep them. You can still smoke the bud but it won't be as strong.

I really couldn't tell you bro. Usually the plucking begins at the end of the grow, not in the middle. If you had some pictures I'd have a better idea of how badly you've raped your buds

If you didn't get them all yes there's a chance that you could have some growable seeds at the end. Also depending how far along they are if there's any pollen left that is still good you could get more seeds.
