To cut or not to cut.

[CannabisCorp]

Hello fellow growers. This is my first time growing cannabis and I have a few questions. First, I'll tell my situation. I have one single plant in my backyard tied down and surrounded by various garden variety food-plants. The plant only receives about 2-3 hours of direct sunlight everyday. It began budding (female) a couple of weeks ago and everything has been going fine.

Here's the problem. Recently, I found on the plant what I suspected to be male parts on my completely female plant. There are about 2 or 3 groups of little balls that have no pistols on or around them. I have thoroughly researched it and they are definitely either seeds or pollen sacs.

My question is; Should I pluck every last little ball off or just leave it be and see what happens.

Input will be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I cannot post pictures for I have no camera.

I plucked a couple of them and looked inside them. They didn't have anything hard them so I'm guessing they are pollen sacs.

Just letting everybody know that my problem is not solved and additional input would be appreciated.

Thank you

Well, I picked off every last one of the pollen sacs and the budding is going along smoothly now.

Harvest comes soon..

Many people probobly aren't chiming in because there really is not much you can do. The more pollen sacks you pull the further stressed the plant gets so more pollen sacks usually follow. Just keep an eye for then and keep doing what your doing and you should be fine.

They don't seem to be growing back at all. Also, the buds are developing very quickly.

I do believe that picking the pollen sacs off saved the bud from being too seedy.
