What's up guys!

First post on here I believe, regular reader of the forum though.

Anyway, as the title says I'm in need of a few pointers!

I work away at weekends (musician), arrived home early sunday morning and poked my head in the tent to find my girls are all now chucking out seeds! I have one Diesel by CBD seeds and 2 Sour Kush by Reserve Privada, 1.2 metre tent, 600 watt hps, day 45 of flower.
The diesel is packing on seeds in the bud, I really don't know how I've managed to catch it so late... I noticed bud production slowing down a week or so ago which i thought was strange, but didn't see any signs of little yellow bananas or anything before this. The sour kush' appear to have minimal seeds (SO FARRR) but all the plants have definitely now been pollinated! GREEEEEAAAAT. It would appear Diesel definitely went first as its much further along in its seed production!

I have a few questions: if someone would be so kind as to fill me in with their insight I would be most grateful! This is my first year growing, and I'm well and truly loving it.
ANYWHO...
is there any possible way to tell whether the diesel plant hermied or whether she was pollinated? I ask this because right at the end of my last grow, my pineapple chunk started to chuck out a few mini bananas, I gave my room a quick clean over before getting the kush and diesel in but I'm not sure it was good enough...The temperatures have been a bit high in the tent (nearly 90s) at times and she was topped, fimmed and lst'd throughout veg. These are my main concerns as to why she may have hermied, no light leaks.

If the diesel was pollinated due to the previous crops pineapple chunk mini bananas spreading pollon, would that mean I'm looking at female seeds from the diesel? a nice cross of pineapple and diesel?!?! Obviously if the plants hermied ill be looking at seeds that are prone to hemry themselves, which I am not interested in.

I think the sour kush' have been pollinated by the diesel, so that would be a cross between the diesel and sour kush, right? again if the diesel hermied, id be looking at hermy prone seeds.

AND FINALLY.....Will the plants contiune to produce bud as well as seeds or will their primary focus now be seeds? If this is the case I feel I mayaswell chop them now, especially if its due to a hermy. Im not really interested in a mass amount of hermy prone seeds :(

I'm really gutted about this situation, these girls are my babies, grown from seed, veg'd for 6 weeks, all topped, fimmed and lst'd. What can i doooo to salvage as much bud as possible?!?! Let them all grow out as they're all pollinated now anyway? cut the diesel out and see how the sour kush' get along as they dont seem to be pumping out many seeds? Cut them all down and cut my losses?

Sorry for the essay dudes,

Peace and Love

RP sour kush herm'd on me just a while back and i have found a few beans in the girls that have finished up since then...but from what i've read, you should just let them finish. you'll still have bud to smoke albeit with beans. that's what i'd do--i wouldn't want the grow to be for nothing as much time invested. for example, only four beans found so far in my one girl today--maybe yours won't be bad? just a thought & here's hoping! oh, also, the trinity that was tagged did keep pushing out bud afterward, she did seem to slow down a bit though for a while. as long as you're sure there isn't another herm or male in there, i'd keep going. welcome to RIU! good luck with the grow! and i'm sure experienced members will be along to help soon.

Thanks for the response man. Appreciate it! Fingers crossed the sour kush' keep the seeds to a minimal. The diesel seems loaded with em'!

My main question is, is there a way to tell whether a plant was pollinated or whether it turned hermie on its own accord?

ive run sour kush from RP with no issues but ive read of many that have. So does the sour kush have seeds on it? I see you said the diesel does have seeds. Ive had this happen 3x in many years and the plant that hermis has the most seeds on it. Look at the bottom of the plants for yellow flowers that have opened, this is where ive had it happen everytime.
