Pollination and seed in bud

So as the title says I found a hermie in my flower room today and trust me she was taken out right away however I am left with a question. How long after exposure to pollen dose it take to start seeing seed pods in the bud? I have this real fear that they were all pollinated by this one Kush that I knew I shouldn't grow as its from unknown genetics. Shit only second grow but I should have caught this sooner. Thanks for the help!

So I should have included that after I removed the hermie I systematically tore her apart and I didn't see naners but I shook the bud and saw what I swear was pollen fell into my hand.

it could have been dust stuck to the bud and fell off when you shook it, especially possible if u got a real big fan causing negative pressure its easy for dust to be sucked in and right up through plants. good luck

Pollen wouldn't "fall into your hand" unless you're grow room is a vacuum. Even if it were, it would not have fallen off the plant when you shook it. It would have stick to the sigma and trichomes of the female flowers. It is also microscopic and disperses over great distances in the slightest wind. The fact that you didn't find any "nanners" just confirms what is obvious.

You killed a perfectly good flowering female 2 weeks before harvest.

It was loaded with seed pods and for all I know the nanners already opened. When I say the pollen fell into my hand it was well after I removed the plant from my grow. I was examining the seed loaded buds and noticed what I thought was dust falling off so I removed the bud from the plant and tapped it on my hand. The substance that fell off the bud was a little off white say slight yellow and had a baking soda like consistency.

just because she had seed pods doesn't make her the hermie it could very well be another plant I hope u didn't kill the wrong one I would check all your plants just to make sure

No signs on any of the other plants this far. So no I didn't make a mistake taking down the Kush I feel that if there were even a chance for nanners then it's got to go. I have a plant due for take down in the next week so there is no way I am going to risk that.
