So i have a strawberry cheese photoperiod at week 9 of flower and today i noticed 1 single nanna the plant is in a 2×2 tent in a room with a 3x3 full of pinneapple express autoflowers at week 10 of flower. I harvested the photoperiod carefully and sterilized the 2x2 my question is and i think i know the answer how likely is it that some pollen may have found its way into the tent with the autos as they are in close proximitary to each other i would assume this is highly probable and kind of sucks. Also if the contamination has occured would the seeds be worth growing out? Will they be fast photos? Will they be hermies? Would appreciate any insight as breeding is something i have never thought about and no next to nothing about the process. 20241129_233616.jpg strawberry cheese photo20241128_215221.jpg pinneapple express autos

Nanners haven't been a problem for me personally tbh I couldn't grow a crop with the seeds I've had due to nanners.

I've read horror stories but I wonder if that's just the Internet blowing shit out of proportion based on personal experience?

In theory they will be a fast version but you would imagine alot of them being herms too though
