Pollination invasion!!!! Please help!!

Well to start off with I am growing in a 5x5 hydro hut with 2 600's Sentinel eviro and co2 controller, in dirt.
I have 30 lovely ladies in 3 gallon grow bags 3 weeks into flowering.
I have flowered this strain many times before and normally i would just have a million beautiful green buds with huge thick white hairs. Right now i have little tight buds with shriveling brown hairs.
Mixed in with these plants i had several that were not from clone but from seed and needed to be sexed. One turned out to be male. Right when i saw the balls forming i pulled it.
Normally i water with only water for the first week of flowering since fox farm is pretty hot on the nute end of things. Then i hit it with moab, well i got a little imapatient this run and hit it hard with moab and silica blast which is high in K. I am wondering if my plants could possible have been pollinated by an immature male preflower or if i just burned the shit out of them and im worrying over nothing. Another piece of the puzzle is ALL of the buds on ALL of the plants are showing these signs so over feeding would make sense but i also know it doesnt take much pollen to spread through such a small space.


PLEASE EITHER CONFIRM MY SUSPICIONS OR PUT MY MIND AT EASE

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.:cuss::-?

Thanks for the input. You think so even though i took that little bastard out right away how would his pollen have gotten to them? Also do you think all the flowers will be affected or just the ones that were pollinated new unpollinated flowers can still grow right?

I thought the male opened and you took it out....
If no pollen entered then they cant be pollenated...
Post some pics and we'll see if it was over fertilized....

Nope, it was barely showing preflowers. DAMN MY PHONE IS BROKEN!!! no digital camer either!!! I WILL SNAG MY CHICKS AND POST SOME ASAP CHECK BACK TOMORROW PLEASE THANKS FOR THE HELP MAN! That avatar is fuckin hilarious by the way.
 
Also i have been reading some botany pages about what happens when pollinated and it sounds like it but its not quite right it could go either way. The pistils are turning brown and curling up slightly but they are still split and i hack some open the calyx were not very swollen.

They dont look pollenated
You can see that the pistils are not all the way dead
I think it was the application of the stuff you used....
I suggest flushing your medium and immediately feeding with nutrients,along with a calcium and magnesium supplement
