newb finishing first grow. learned a lot thanks to you guys on this site. my plants hermied. I have some seeds and pollen but a lot of bud. will the pollen affect the smoke? do i try to remove it somehow? seeds are easy to remove but what about the pollen?

the pollen is what gets on the buds to produce seeds
I wouldn't worry about the pollen when smoking it, only getting on the buds

the pollen will taste like shit...
ever have decent bud that tastes great and hits smooth for a few hits then all of a sudden out of nowhere it gets fucking gross tasting and harsher than a hit of male fan leaves?
thats a pollen sac

I know its a big no no to get buds damp during dry b/c of mold. is there a way i can neutralize the pollen w/o ruining the bud?

wow, those are nice plants. look similar to mine but mine aren't as big and full. thanks for the input! i am sure it doesnt affect the high, was wondering what other people experienced as far as the taste goes. is it worth smoking? or does it taste like shit? lol
i'm gonna smoke some in a couple days and post my findings....
