can a male ruin a future crop?

if you find a male in your grow room will its pollen stick around on the walls/floor and pollinate the next crop?

I think it can.

only if sacks opened before you got it out

It only lives a couple of months in cool. dark, dry conditions. Just wash your room down if you need it for flowering before that. Water kills pollen.

Pollens suk

Ruin is a little strong, at the very least the female will produce seeds for future grows. But yeah, once released pollencan cling to anything and travel quite a ways. If you have a male amongst your females who's sacks have opened, I would assume those female are all but certain to not produce buds.

Cool thanks for that input, was curious about that my self. Also, when can a plant first be pollinated? As soon as it shows its sex?

you can still get some good bud from a pollinated female, i just crossed a thc bomb with bubblegum and got seeds and bud.

Yes, but I wait a couple of weeks for a strong flush of white pistils then hand pollinate a bottom branch with a small artist brush dipped in pollen.
