I have like a yard full of plants . And only a few pollen sacks that opened ( maybe like 30 total ) but I don’t see any powder on the leaves. Am I looking at tons of seeds in every plant ?

Two plants out of 100 had a total of 30 ish pollen sacks open . It was about 1 percent or less of the total pollen sacks . Am I definitely screwed ?
We rouge out males in our 60 acre field with a generous wetting and covering the entire plant with a garbage bag to stop the spread, it’s hard to control outdoors

Why don’t u just chop them down ? Most be a nightmare finding them in 60 acres
Not really, we have a team of valvesmen that water and monitor each block
We observed a lot more pollen spreading to other plants by dismantling the plant in place and found that wetting the plant and covering it with a large garbage bag was the most effective way to prevent the spread

Wish I new that an hour ago . Took them out carefully to not burst sacks . But when I got them off property I bursted some sacks intentionally to see how matured they were . Over 90 percent were to immature to even have pollen, and the ones that did have pollen when I burst them had a moist pollen that seemed still premature . Only very few on the pollen sacks looked like they had already opened . About 10 ish per plant maybe less . Are you sure I’m gonna have tons of seeds in all my plants ? Or is it more like just like a couple per ounce in the ones closest ( or down wind ) from the two males ?
I don’t no why my tagging people never works
If you see empty sacks. I’d expect some pollination

Thanks ! I can live with a seed or two in a oz . Just was paranoid I was gonna have stuff filled with seeds . Just walked down to check them again . Only like 20 sacks total look to be opened out of the thousands of sacks . And the sacks I was checking were almost all to immature to even have pollen in them yet . Hoping those 20 sacks won’t produce to much 
I’d expect the plant near it to be fully pollinated

there was a lot of plants around both of them
Do you have any first hand experience on a few pollen sacks opening and how it affects plants in the immediate area as far as seed per 0z ratio estimates ?
It don’t take a lot to fuck up a bunch of plants.

”if you pollinate when the female plants are still in early flower and have only a bit of white hair/pistils on them , only these flowers will produce seed. So pollinating early and then removing the male will result in only few seeds.
If the male/s are left for longer time their pollen will pollinate more new buds as the females keep growing new bud growth”
Just got that off line . Anyone know if it’s accurate?
I’ll live with a couple seeds in every ounce , but 200 in a oz is a different story
We would pollate at about 30-35 days of flowering to allow the seeds to fully form by the end of flowering. We would pull thousands of seeds, and most of the flower went to hash piles

Thanks 
glad you could help
thats tons of pollen and i dunno if hes kidding about sending bunk genes to me.
Next season check your plants more frequently and this can be easily avoided. Very easy to catch males super early and not have any problems.
