So I'm in day six of flowering stage growing in regular soil Smart Fabric medium.. I just found out one of my plants is a male well I'm pretty a hundred percent sure its a male. I took it out right away should I wash out my grow tent is there a chance that they pollinated my other female plants

Rip it. Hasn’t popped yet. But if you want to be sure, spray the walls of your tent down with water in a spray bottle and wipe down to clean. Water deactivates pollen.

A plant on 6 days into flower cannot produce fertile pollen. In the same way buds take time to mature, so do pollen and seeds. You were right to use peroxide to clean with.

... and it wouldn't be a thread on rollitup without some bro science. In order to sterilize pollen you'll need to use some sort of cleaning agent. Water can help a mature, dry pollen sac from bursting when touched- but it does not sterilize it. You know it rains outside right?

Edit: After looking closer at your pics, it looks like you have more than one male there. The photo isn't focused on the plants behind it, but I'm pretty sure I see ballsacks galore.

No I ordered feminized seeds from a seed bank and that one came out of a weed bag some fire ass weed that's why I germed that and I just thought it was a female this whole time it didn't have the characteristics as a male until pollen sacs came
