I have two plants going and are 4 weeks in. Unfortunately, I found some balls on one of them, I picked 3. Does that guarantee that both plants are now with seeds?, or maybe not all buds?...
Any help

We need pics
Many growers pull off calyxes from perfectly fine females thinking they are balls

No, I actually got some pollen out of one of them. I picked off 4 total. I have two girls going, but not sure if I'm screwed or start over with fresh clones. Only one of them was from seed, and that was the Hermie. Equilibrium Genetics-Peanut butter triangle

If they were even partially opening and you plucked them off you might get some seeds. If some were already open you're getting seeds.

Sometimes they shoot blanks.
4weeks in? And you noticed male flowers now, so you might get a couple seeds. I'd keep an eye on that plant and cull it if it keeps throwing nanners. Watch the nugs around where the flowers were. If you notice them swelling up and looking like a giant pimple ready to pop then there's a seed in that calyx. You can remove them with tweezers.

3 of 4 weren't showing the yellow banners yet. So I assume they were closed. Only one that I plucked off dropped pollen onto my hand when I pulled it, and you could clearly see the yellow banners after I plucked it off.

How soon would I start seeing the swelling from the seed development?

I couldn't tell you that. It all depends when the first viable pollen was released. There could already be almost ready seeds at 4weeks if pollinated early
Don't quote me because I can't remember exactly but I think seeds take 6 weeks to ripen. At first you'll see the hairs turn orange then receed and the calyx bract swells like she's pregnant. Sometimes it's easy to see on the outside. Sometimes the seed is buried deep inside. Sometimes there's just a few and sometimes it's loaded. All depends

nanner and balls are not the same thing and they typically have differing causes. For future reference you should know the difference and indicate which you are dealing with clearly.

At 4 weeks, i doubt you have any pollen to worry about. Toss it and watch the rest

First you'll see pistils turning brown and shriveling up.

You're not posting in the newbie section so I'm going to advise you bodybag those plants with a trash bag and chop the stalk then throw them in the trash or burn them. You didn't provide any useful information so we can't help you yet.
