Pollinated plant, carry on or restart?

Hi all

A single female plant has started to show signs of pollination, it is exactly 4 weeks into flowering (just starting week 5) and it is a Royal Queen Seeds sour diesel, so it will take 10-12 weeks to flourish. On a few buds the pistils have browned and curled inwards, and a few tiny green seeds are visible on the affected buds (maybe 1 per bud)

She is on her own in a tent and the grower has had no contact with another cannabis plant at all, and has checked for hermies with no luck.

In this case would you suggest cutting down and starting again? The grower is going to spray the plant and tent with water in an attempt to kill the pollen but is unsure whether that will stop the development of seeds or whether all the buds are going to start producing seeds?

I'm sure it's obvious but the grower is OK with a few seeds but doesn't want to ruin the harvest!

Also how can the grower take steps to prevent this happening again? There is some confusion regarding the source of the pollen (brought in through the passive intake? On clothes?)

Sorry there are no pictures!

Thanks all x

Lol, sounds like a neighbor has a male plant. It might be two miles down the road and his plants are down wind. Even in a tent.

He might caught some drifting pollen in his hair, clothes, arm hair, beard....

I'd keep her going. Seeded bud is what it is and is far better than nothing.

No, it is gross when dudes garden in the nude, that is for hot chicks only.

OK that's reassuring! If no more pollen is introduced will seed production stop or is that not how it works......

You only get seeds where pollen physically locates.

OK cool! Out of interest does that theoretically mean you could pollinate 2 different buds on the same plant with 2 different males and get 2 different hybrid strains?
