Not sure if this is two separate plants or just one.. But that top pick is a clear hermaphrodite or herm. Those banana looking things are male pollen sacks... If you zoom in on the 1st pic and look at the lower part of the closest branch, you'll see an opened pollen sac. That means pollen has dropped in that tent/grow space. If you have a fan in that space, it been blown all around. If you look closely at the 2nd pic.. What you see are swollen calyxes. They start swell once pollinated. If you squeeze one of the calyxes im sure you will feel a seed. Next, in a week or two, you'll start seeing seeds growing in your buds.

You can pull off the bananas (nanners) as you find them, but they will likely grow back, so it's a constant checking thing. But it definitely looks like the pollen has done it's damage. How bad it is, how many seeds, how many plants were effected? That's all hard to say. But pollination has definitely taken place already.

those top pics are one plant and bottom is another, there are 6 auto flower plants in total and 4 mothers that where just started(2weeks ago) about 4-5 inches tall . I've removed the 6 auto's to death row snowbank and put the 4 mothers in a tent for time being and hope they have not been pollinated, don't know if seedlings can be pollinated?. I have another 12 mothers to go in about a week. I've shut room down and will fire it back up in a week and put the 4 moms(now in tent) plus 12 seedlings in then.

Had a power outage few weeks back and room got to about 13c overnight, I was thinking this would happen. Been watching them since but was away 2 days so oh well.

Makes sense. Be sure to spray the room down with water. Clean the fans as well.. Pollen can lay dormant for weeks. Plants can't be pollinated unless they're in flower so seedlings are safe.

My understanding is that plants don't pollinated till out of veg and into flowering? so if I spray my 4 mothers with water that should remove any dormant pollen off the leafs and soil ?? I think I'll spray room out with cold water too before i put plants in just in case ?

thanks mate answered my question as I posted

just a note but a good mate of mine told me ozone will kill pollen if I'm realy worried(have ozonator I'll run it for 24hrs in room, already sprayed room down 3 times with water). He also said pollen is very fragile and more than like already dead but pollen can stay viable for long periods of time if stored in the right condition and it's tiny and sneaky, thus "clean the fans well " like Proph said. He also suggested submerge all filters in water and spray ducting. We where puffing a blunt so he talked for like a real long time about pollen. He also said a pollen grain has an extremely low amount of water inside, just enough to make it work. When new water is introduced it will suck it up like a sponge and blow up(osmitic pressure i think he said) besause water is adhesive/cohesive. He said you can use chemicals and they will break down the cell walls and kill it but why when water works just as good, "never spray chemicals around and cause other problems when water will do the job" was his exact words.
cheers mates , have a good week-end.

It really sucks when you find a seed in your med grow! Kinda ruins the moment plus ruins ya grow area.
A recent timer malfunction caused a high heat period and 3 plants hermied...
Oh yeah, a complete clean is hard to accomplish and even though a mist of water kills pollen, you can't very well spray lights! That shit is pervasive!!!
I lost 3 plants to seeds but so far today's ladies are still keeping their panties on.
