How close can males be to females while sexing them?

What’s up-

Just had a general question,

My last run i had my first ever hermie and it was also my first run with some reg seeds in the mix. I’m wondering if I let one go to long before realizing it was male and it potentially dropped pollen?

I feel like i’m rather diligent and pulled them all when i first saw anything other than pistols.

I’m vegging in rockwool cubes in trays. 4x4x4 rockwool pretty close together in veg, cubes are about 2 inches apart maybe. They were moved to flower room in those trays then started to sex in those then pulled fem seeds and signs of girl and moved to RDWC.

We’re they too close? I thought it took like a week for the males to really produce any pollen? I don’t think there’s anyway I missed one for a week, but maybe.

Or should i be sexing them farther apart ?

Are there seeds forming or something? If you don't see any signs of pollination you should be okay.
My first male plant was from a batch of reg seeds, and I was curious about how long it took pollen to form so I used some tweezers to pick the flowers apart. There wasn't any pollen in the flowers that I could see until they were nearly full size, and even then there wasn't much.

The hermie you had, had nothing to do with having male plants near to female plants. Male and female plants together can make seeds not hermies.

Ahhh, guess I misunderstood the question. You're quite right, there is no way having a male near females could lead to hermies.

My apologies i guess wrong wording.

I was seeing seeds in my nugs but never saw balls on said plant.

Seeds while it was growing that is.
