Hermie wrecked my crop..

When I was in week 3-4 of flower I noticed one of plants grew some balls. I was only able to locate like 4 balls before I removed the plant. Well I think I removed it too late because there are seeds growing in some of my buds. Other than that the buds have been developing very nicely (frosty, dense)

My question is How bad is the pollination going to affect my quality and yield?. Everything is personal so I don't mind pulling out a few seeds but I'm just curious to know if people still grow dank bud after it's been pollinated?

I was suprised to see my weed still coming out good since it's been pollinated since week 3-4. I thought that bud production slows down/stops and the plant focuses energy on developing seeds so the weed wouldn't come out that fire. I'm currently on week 5 now so I'm just hoping I could still enjoy this harvest..

I typically will only pull a plant from my tent if its littered with nanners. If all you foudn were 4 nodes with balls on them, shoulda just clipped the bud sites and watched closely over the next week or 2. I've had several plants throw out like 10 sets of balls before, clipped them, and have yet to find a seed in that strain (currently smoking through it right now)

I don't know numbers on how much, and from my experience, seeds will make your potency go down a little, probably depends on each strain. Finished a Deathstar that was littered with seeds and her smoke tasted great, but the fire just wasn't there.

If the buds were pollinated. The bud will be an easy 85% seed. It'll look like fat bud. Swelled up. It's nothing but seeds. To the stem, throughout. Hundreds and hundreds of seeds.

As for lowered THC. That's true if you want to smoke it. It doesn't apply if you concentrate the bud left over from the seeds. Edibles to tincture. Seeded bud really ain't worth smoking but it'll tear your a$$ up when it's made into other things.

"One bag had 13 seeds".......origins of the Chem and OG families. Most of the famous strains of days gone by were seeded. Some prefer the effects of seeded bud. There may or may not be hundreds or thousands of seeds in your plants. Time will tell.

Spraying your plants with hermie removed will kill any pollen present. Might wash the inside of the flower room.
