Male Plant Spilled Pollen Everywhere

I was moving my veg plants to the garage to flower and I noticed one of my veg plants in the back had pollen sacks and pollen all over the leaves! I didn't know males could pop up during veg?? All the other plants are still in veg and haven't show their sex yet. Can I hose down my other plants and wash the pollen off before they start to flower? I read that the pollen doesn't pollinate until about week three. How did this plant grow pollen sacks during veg??

It's possible for males to grow pollen sacks even in veg. They usually show their sex before females. Hosing them down may remove most of the pollen. Just don't go overboard and blow the plants away. I'd also wipe the growing area down with a mild bleach solution to kill and lingering pollen.
