Well bro I must say, your situation is a little worse than I had anticipated. He definitely had plenty of balls byt the time you found him, if anything it was a great lesson for you.....bet that wont happen again
I would say there is a good chance that he might have tossed a little pollen, but definitely not a whole lot. Problem is, a little is still some. Watch your ladies closely and you will notice pods forming soon if they got hit. If you dont notice pods, then they have very few deep inside the buds or none at all hopefully.
I was thinking he was a little more premature than that but then again AFs grow so damn fast, especially the males. But like I said in my PM, it was 45 days or so before my Diesel Ryder male was tossing pollen on his own. Definitely a good lesson though, the best way to learn is for the facts to smack you right in the face, that way you are less prone to miss the early signs next time.
After only 3 or 4 grows, I was spotting signs of sex probably within hours of them showing up. Once you know what to look for it gets easier.
Keep us up to date and keep a nice close eye on each bud to see pods. I would definitely not expect your ladies to be so seedy that you get more seed than bud, you should still get a nice yield imo.
Best of luck

Dude, thanks again for tur time & help. Lawdy lawdy my man, those things did go QUICK.
Not that I have dick for a comparison (as this is I'm breakin my cherry here, been burnun daily for bout 2 decades, and just can't handle layin out 20 bucks a g for the kind. It's gettin sad on the east coast my friend.
Anyway, yeah like Day 1-Day 30 they grew to 4" MAX.
Then from bout day 32-36, they sexxed (that turncoat mutha knocked my innocent little girls up), anyway, they sexxed & stretched out to where the shortest was approx.15" & the tallest, was close to 30". That's in this little compact hydro system I have them in (all are in 4" square pots w/ holes in the bottom). I was really impressed by the sheer amount of maturity in a 3 freakin day period. Eva-fukndently things went entirely too quick for my newbie-ars to keep up with things.
Movin along, I'll post some pics in a week & let you kind souls determine if I should grow them out or not.
Here's why I am tempted to yank them.
I have some regular (non auto) reg. photo period beans (all are great pedigrees & are fem'd, even though I learned my lesson that fem'd aint exactly the gospel) they are popped in rapid rooters & ready to rock. Prob. gonna throw into 3" rockwool cubes tomorrow, or Sunday @ the latest, got maybe 3 days before the outgrow rooters. Gonna just have 12 site manifold & drippers & stakes drippin to a 2'x3' drip tray with active drainage, etc.
Gonna take the x2 sexiest & insert into a waterfarm that I have ready to just keep & maintain x2 mommies.
My original plan was to sprout the photo beans up & little veg for the next month before putting into hydro system (while I was gonna let autos finish, til I heard they were violated by that nast nasty man).
So, should I scrap auto grow & focus mainly on procuring my reg. photo beans.
I could get my moms goin & just SOG from seedlings w/ my premo photo period beans.
I get long winded some times, sorry for ramblin.
Thanks again for all the help homey, talk soon & get some pics of my hopefully virgin girls up soon.
stay up me brova
