Shit!! I was so excited before when I saw my two babies go female...

This one plant is on week 5 of flowering I believe, and I see just a few small bulbs going horizontal, which I believe may be pollen sacs forming. Therefore, he plant is likely to be a hermaphrodite.

The bulbs are currently just less than a quarter inch in length!!!

MY QUESTION IS: It's currently growing right next to an adult female, that has just entered Week 8 of flowering!! I was going to harvest it either this weekend (in 3 days) or next weekend (in 10 days). If I keep this Week 8 female next to my hermie, and if the adult female catches some pollen from the hermie, how long does it take for the THC (potency) to degrade to form the seeds??? In other words... How long can I keep my adult female next to the hermie without worrying about losing alot of THC potency on the adult female??? Keep in mind the few sacs are just less than a quarter inch.

At what point do the pollen sacs actually become a problem? Will I be able to keep my adult female next to my hermie for the remainder of her flowering without losing THC potency?

Please be specific :)

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP! I greatly appreciate it!!

the pollen sacs become a problem as soon as they drop pollen, but you wanna isolate before that.

Cut her if u don't wanna pollinate the other one. There is no hard evidence that a pollinated female starts to lose thc content when making seed.
But is it a possibility.

But how long will it take for the adult female to convert to producing seeds? Like, would my adult female be able to stand next to the hermie for another 5 days without negative consequences?

You'll be fine, it takes ~4 weeks for seeds to fully develop. 5 days or so is nothing.
