This is where i need your help, i have some Auto White Russians growing and im planning to produce some seeds from them and im keeping them on 24h light period so i thot maybe i could put a non auto on veg along them.
So is it possible that the pollen that hits the vegging plant becomes seeds when it starts the flowering?

Nope, pollen has to touch the pistils, they then carry it to the calyx. since your in veg and there is no pistils then your fine. but worry about this, the pollen is still fertile for awhile after it leaves the plant. Scrub the grow room and the pollen goes inert after a few months also so you can wait it out to be sure.

It IS however, very possible to have pollen hit the pistilate preflowers on sexually mature plants still in a vegging photoperiod and have those calyxes produce seeds in the usual amount of time. So it kinda depends on the age of the plants in veg. If they have flowers, they will produce seeds if hit with viable pollen. They don't even have to be flowered to do so, they will produce the seeds even quicker in veg.
