Hey all. I am almost starting week 6 flower in a couple days. I noticed last night I had a couple pollen sacs pop up on lower branches of my grape crush :( one must have popped open I'm assuming as there was a tiny white powder under the branch. I don't know how long it's been like that but no other plant shows any signs. For the time being I brought it outside. Do you think the rest will be pollinated? :( I used a damp towel to dab it up after I turned off fans. I'm really nervous about this. It's my first grow and everything has gone pretty well so far. The other grape crush I have must be a different phenotype as it smells completely different and isn't showing any signs so I'm thinking it might be genetic. Should I chop it? Or leave it outside and let it run? Any advice on my situation would be great.

I'd chop that plant down mate. Worse case scenario is that the pollen travels through a window and through a fan and then right on top of your non pollinated females ruining your crop. And trust me when I say this, pollen can move. Now onto your first question. I wouldn't worry to much if just one tiny sack was opened your other female should be fine. Just watch that plant to see if it hermies if it's from the same breeder as it very well may be in the genetics.

Alrighty. Def sucks. Plant is maybe 3ft tall and almost 6wk in flower. Preme bud it is! I don't want to end up ruining the rest. :\ looks like I got something to do tonight. Also if I chop. I should dry them outside maybe in my shed? That way if a sac bursts it won't be near my females? Just worried about having that inside near my tent. But the shed is open no door..

You could dry them outside in a shed even if the door is open. Just don't go back and forth between your grow tent and your shed often because you don't want to transfer pollen.
