Depends.
If you can clearly see pollen dropped on the lower leaves above where they opened then it could have pollinated a load especially if the fans have blown on it.
You can ruin pollen by spraying plenty of water on it

So now if it pollinates will it seed my crop or will the growth stop and that plant become completly male. is it possible that it will just produce seeds and no pollen. How long will it take for me to notice? whats the first sign?
Thanks for your time Natmoon.

it will seed your crop (i think, i would get another opinion however as i have never dealt with males and therefore not as experienced as others)

Thanks for your time Natmoon.
Pollen,basically is like sperm and the small hairs on a female are called pistils and act like vaginas.
They will produce some seeds on the pistils that have been pollinated in the pods that we like to smoke below the pistils.
Here is a pic of one of my plants pistils that are pollinated.
You can see the difference in colour and shape of the pistils once they are pollinated .
Some females produce the odd male flower anyway during their time.
None of them will become males.
You can notice the pistil colour change within 24 hours at most.
Pollinated.

Not pollinated.

So if i act fast then i could isolate it to those that only had been touched by pollen and end up with just a few seeds in the crop or will it seed through the whole plant usually? I usually deal with clones but wanted to get some other strains going. Not alot of luck so far.

Just spray all your plants down in the bathroom with a clean ph room temp water and you'll kill as much of the pollen as is possible.
Watch out for any more ball sacks and pluck them of.
If you get loads of ball sacks growing then it wont be that good anyway
