Pollen sacks or powdery mildew?

FeebleSnane
FeebleSnanestarted grow question a day ago
I noticed what I thought was powdery mildew on a leaf, then noticed funny looking things right next to the powder. I think these are pollen sacks, and if they are I want to know if anything is recoverable, or if I need to scrap the whole plant/grow. "Second Grow" on my profile

That would indeed be pollen dispersed by air and gravity from an intersex flower, not powdery mildew. Don't freak out, although it is far from ideal. I'd wet some Qtips and get a sprayer on mist setting. Dab the pollen up with the qtip. Then mist, and remove. Know that when you touch them bananas you're gonna likely get some more pollen falling out of it. usually fresh pollen falls 9like you have here). This is mostly due to the moisture content in fresh cannabis pollen. Oh, and you should've been cut off ANY airflow in that tent whatsoever (canopy and exhaust) until you're done. depending on your ventilation system, any pistils you see in the next few days go dark and shrivel are likely transporting pollen down and should be considered pollinated. chase pistils down into the flower to the bottom of the calyx to determine if pollination occurred prior to consuming via smoking dried flowers note: you should make sure questions with a diary are attached accordingly to the diary, it matters in some cases for the responders

sorry for the double response but I want to note that as far as your female flower sites go, they look right about perfect for the time I would be looking to pollinate. the timing on that intersex pollen drop is kind of wild my dude, you appear to be very much in that prime pollination window
