late pollination drawbacks

If my girls got pollinated by a stray hermie, will all bud production stop completely? At about 6 weeks, 3 weeks out. Found no seeds in any calyxes(ive searched a few) but found about 6 preflowers between the 2 plants. I have clones ready and needing a home sooner than i thought, should i chop and run a bunch of bho?
Only reason i am asking is because this only happened to me once before and i said fuck it and chopped the whole room 2/3 weeks before harvest and ive always wondered if i could have avoided all that

grow em out, at least you can see for yourself, and don't have to wonder no more ;)

happense to me a few times, only once (where I did`t catch em in time) they where full of seed`s witch of course effect the over all yield once removed and are annoying, a few seed`s here and there don't hurt much, but over all yield will be maybe 20% less as that plant do put more energy in to the seed`s and that energy can only come from one source, the bud production, but nothing too seriously IMO, specially if your only a few week`s away from harvest, quality/potency will be the same, on the upside you will get some Femi seed`s (if the once you used is feminized ?) tho with a tendency to hermit agin, unless your the factor (light/heat stress etc)

if you do choose to grow em out keep the vacuum cleaner and tweezers close and inspect the plants daily for new "ball`s" and remove em before they have a chance to open and spread the pollen (same go if you grow the seed`s you might get from it)

I believe its the light leaking into my room i did not even realize before :/ thats good to know! the buds are already packing in calyxes and trics. as my auto crop was pitiful i am hoping to gain something small before the next clones are done.
