Had pollen sack burst only 1 and half week into flower. Seems like a fair amount came out spilled on its own leaf. I removed and killed plant but question is :
For how long does the pollen remain potent and and have the ability to pollinate?

I assume my females are not even developed enough to get pregnant.
Hopefully my filter picked up any airborn.

Input appreciated.

If your pollen had burst for a week and your females have no pistil present, spray your gals down with water to deactivate any pollen that may have landed on them.

Pollen burst once overnight , I caught it in the morning. It was a week and half into flower when this happened. The females do have pistils. Approx how long before I would see seeds on buds if pollinated?

Ahhhh. Sorry I misread your post. If the females were pollenate, based of experiences... You should see your white pistil start to shrible and turn orange/brownish. Then in close to two weeks you'll start to see very small seeds starting to form around the bud sites.

You can also see pistils shrible and turn orange/brownish for other reasons, so be careful.
I brushed the bottom of one pot against some very young flowers and the dirt on the pistils had this effect over a couple of days.
