Pollen!!!...plz help!!!

I grew some plants from a good looking bag of reggs... its got female flowers on top and little banana pollen sacks on the bottom...i cut them away as soon as i seen them i know some prematurely popped open because i found 4 or 5 seeds on them...i cleaned everything thoroughly with lysol and stopped flowering...i cloned the plants before i flowered it and it had female preflowers...DOES THAT MEAN THE CLONES I AM GROWING ARE HERMIES?!?:?:!? And what is gonna happen if my young clones (3 weeks) were pollinated???....IM FREAKING OUT PLZ HELP,,,:wall:

If the hermie was caused by stress (i.e. light leak, temp, humidity, ferts) then no, it doesn't mean the clones will be hermies. If it was caused by genetics then yes, they will. If the clones were pollinated then they will yeild seeds. I would spray with a generouse amout of plain water. It can sterilize the pollen.

This is a case of a femanised seed been subjected to stress,this has caused it to turn.This is one of the draw backs of growing from seeds found in bought herb.If you are gonna grow from seed the buy the strain that you are after then clone her,then you will have a end less supply of good genetics.If you know that 100% that some of the male pollan has fallen off the pods then the plant will have pollanised any females in the room.That is a bad thing has the plant will focus all its growth in makeing seeds and not buds.If possible i would get shut and start again from new,there are 1000's of good seed supplyers about nowdays just go with a well known one,or go to attitude all the seeds that i have ever had from there are always realy good and has long has you don't stress the plant in any way,you should get a good crop every grow.

If you are finding seeds in your bags then your plants went Lady Gaga one way or the other. I would never recommend growing bag seeds personally unless you absolutely didn't have anything else to grow, in which I would invest in some seeds of your choice. Find a place that grows clones and see how they do. I would rather grow some unverified clones than bag seeds personally.

And yes spraying with plain water does deactivate the pollen.
 
Thx guys...gr8 info...i got rid of my hermie plant and pulled a couple of seeds out and the buds look pretty nice...it isnt making anymore seed tho i pulled like 8 or 9 big ass seeds out....idk y??? The question i have i guess is if one single piece or unit of pollen makes contact and succesfully pollinates does that mean that u will get one single seed??
