Okay i hope someone knows the answer to this question. I Have some plants and i may have took out the males to late so i think that they pollinated the females. IF SO, If and or when i Clone Will My clones Be POLLINATED:cry:!!!!??? Or will they do what i hope and be females with no seeds? :-?

if the FEMALES are polinated they will seed, but if you take clones that dont have pistils they will not yet be polinated and therefore produce no seeds. they will always be female however and being polinated cannot change this, as it is a function of the female plant to produce seeds. so basically if your male plants have spread pollen your females will have a high change of being polinated but only if they have pistils, yet the pollen often sticks to anything and everything so the pollen may be waiting to polinate them once they sprout. best case scenario, remove the males and take some clones ASAP. you cant really do much else. i hope that helped.
 
Yes that helps alot thanks Magus. I was freaking out thinking that i would have to start all over and just gonna buy feminized seeds..... DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY INPUT?
 
Like said before as long as the clone you take from the pollanated plant mother wasnt pollinated then your ok. If you pull a clone from a pollanated plant you have to make sure the clone doesnt have ny hairs showing on it or any seed pods that have formed or that clone will be a pollanated clone..If you can get good clean clone from the plant make sure no hairs on it yet and then dunk it a few times in water to try and wash any pollen that may have gotten onto it.
 
oh yeah, ive heard pollen doesnt like water so maybe if you spray the female down with some H2O the polen will not be viable anymore, or at least not in the air. bu of course kill those males with the quickness.
 
Try to vacuum the area and put a fine mesh furnace filter in front of a fan. You want to collect the pollen out of the area. Pollen drifts on air currents and could fertalize the females after the males were removed.
