Uh-Oh! They DID get pollinated. Now what?

Three weeks ago I started a thread after finding a male in my grow tent, just a couple of weeks into flower and posted pictures. The consensus was, I probably got away with it since the pods were early. In that same 4 x 8 tent, there were also 4 plants, 5 weeks into flower. I started chopping them yesterday, after they had flowered a little more than 8 weeks. And after microwaving a bud to check discovered....seeds. 5 or 6 in a small bud. The high is great...but now I cannot sell it as medicine. Also in the the tent are 5 females, now about 5 weeks into flower, and 3, one week into flower. I've got 3 tents in this basement room, but plenty of fans. Should I assume that everything is fucked? I guess I might as well let everything finish, at least for a stash. And what should I do next?

Sorry to hear you plants got seeded.
After you finished. Clean everything real good.
Then try again.
Keep some for smoke and the rest. Make Hash, Oil or BUTTER.

Send me some seed too.

A lifetime seed supply. What strain or strains involved? Make hash if its all toast.

Bubba 76 is the rogue male. It has seeded Big Bud x Northern Lights, Cheese, White Widow & O G Kush. Guess I must assume that 5 plants, 5 weeks into flower will also seed. They are: Morning Glory, Power Kush, Industrial Plant, Blueberry Gum and Fruity Chronic Juice. Maybe I'll get some cool hybrids. I'm trying to stay positive but it's also a pretty harsh lesson. I'm just chopping my 2nd grow. I've got a bunch of clones and some vegged plants ready to go in another tent. My biggest concern is getting the pollen out of the tents. It's not like there wasn't 4 fans going 24/7! Any special cleaning materials? Thanks. I will have to start thinking of cool names for the hybrid plants I will be making.

Water kills pollen..bleach water kills pollen and mold and other shit. Keep the seeds seperate from each plant and label.

Just nukes some more Northern Lights x Big Bud. Sure is pleasant! I have clones for all 9 plants & mothers for the 4 I just chopped.

I just realized that I can become an inadvertent breeder here! How's that for making stoned lemonade out of seedy lemons?
 
Man, that sucks that bubba is all kinds of shady wont be risking it w those seeds unless their feminazed... quick thinking on the clones...

If you use reverse + saturate, both made by dutchmasters, you can keep your girls from going hermi and you can stop seed formation if pollen is present. The thing is that it should be used as a preventative measure... within the first 2-3 weeks of flower. It can be used later, but you have to watch out for associated problems... mold, rot, flavor, and such.

I use it every grow. Spray once 7 days into 12/12... and again 10 days later. It really lets the girls know that they are girls.
