This is my first post so please forgive me if i dont know the correct terms etc.
This is my second grow, im currently 45 days into flower with approx 14-21 days left (strain is shark shock flower time 40-50 days, apparently). Heres my problem approx two days ago i found a 3 'nanners' on three smaller buds, one on each on the top of bud. I removed them and haven't found anymore, ive been checking three to four times a day since. Today i looked at the one of the buds that had a 'nanner' on and the hairs had turnt brown and receded and upon popping open the pod i found young immature seeds!!! Ive researched online and it seems that pollinated buds hairs will brown quite soon after pollination (which this bud has). Now heres my question the rest of the buds hairs ARENT brown and remain long pointed and white, does this mean they havent been pollinated? Does it take longer then a few days from pollination for the hairs to brown and recede? Any help would be appreciated.

The white pistils are a good sign that those parts have not been pollinated. Spray the entire plant down with water to make any excess pollen unviable. If you're only a couple weeks out and there's nothing else to fuck up, I would just ride it out.

Yeah you should be ok if she's he only plant in there. But you have closer to a month left than two weeks. Possibly more IMO.

I thought that tbh. Online it says 40-50 days left . But i think it will go longer too. I have another in with it (last pic) which doesnt seem to have been affected, i have limited space and equipment so i havent been able to seperate them. I havent found any pollen sacs at all only the three nanners which were all on the top of 3 seperate buds

Agreed, just keep an eye out for any more and pluck, not long now and the seeds won't have that much time to mature if any of it has been pollinated.

Plus, if this is for your personal use, worst case you may need to pluck out a few seeds, not like it's going to be any different or less potent, just a little pop here & there if you don't clean out the seeds.

Yeah just spray down the area with nanners if you see any pop up as soon as you see them pop up and you're good.

Ive had a look and a few hairs on buds next to it have turnt brown but nothing major, maybe i had a guardian angel because the i checked friday fans etc all working fine, i was caught up sat with a family thing and when i checked sat afternoon the fans had stopped working, and i found the nanners. Cant help but think had the fans been on all saturday the whole lot would be ruined.

Dont use any seeds from these plants again. If the nanners had pollen falling out of them you will have quite a lot of seed at harvest on all plants. The pollen is almost weightless and moves easily thru the air with exhaust fans.

Hi i only found three nanners and removed them. I watch for the signs of pollination i.e hairs turning brown and withering. This only happened on one bud, the one one of the nanners was on. The rest seem to be unpollinated...
