Accidental Pollination? Volunteer Males in Outdoor Garden

[MOOutdoorGrower]

Good Afternoon Growmies!

Looking for wisdom from experienced growers.

Have 5 plants outside - 3 GG4 - 1 Purple Diesel - 1 Grape Godbud

08/12/2024 - found two volunteer males in brush adjacent to flower pots (win 20 yds).

3 GG4 plants VERY early pre-flower some red hairs but very early flowering - other two plants don’t seem affected showing white pistils and bud sites stacking.

All plants seem to be in stretch phase between weeks 1-3 of pre-flower or possibly very early transition phase.

Question: Am I screwed on this grow? OR if the males are removed, will the flowers continue to develop and have some seeds for next year?

I'm thinking if you remove them carefully (males) you should be fine and have seeds for next year, because from the sounds of it and looks of it it seems they still have plenty of bud sites to grow still so I would guess the only sites that got pollinated are the ones you can tell. If they even got pollinated...
I don't think you are screwed.

Thank you! I will stay the course!
