To try to keep them and get the least seeds, you pull the balls off as soon as you see them, and whenever you see them.
Preferably before they open and you can see bananas. You may not be able to get all of them as bananas can grow in between tight buds. Pull them off as soon as you see any ballsacks or bananas.

Good Luck!!

The male balls will not contain seeds, they will contain approx 3-4 bananas inside and light dusty pollen.

The females will have seed pods with white hairs. If the pollen touches the white hairs, that seed pod will develop a seed inside.
You can still smoke the female green casing hiding the seed, but the multiple layers that coulda have been thc filled inside will have become a seed instead of more layers of green to smoke.

Are you sure you have hermies?

I pulled it out of my closet when I did it too just incase and had it out of the closet for about 2 minutes so even if the pollen came out when I pulled do you think I will be good

wow ok when the pollen sacs open and release pollen and the pollen lands on the white hairs of the buds the portion that has the white hairs coming out will grow into a seed this takes time to develop. if the pollen sacs or balls have not opened there will be no seeds this is why it is important that you remove the pollen sacs as soon as you see them that way you have only female parts and no seeds. I hope that was simple enough for you to comprehend i know your probably stoned....

Sure you're not confusing it with just a regular female thinking you're seeing balls?
