Indoor How to tell a male?

[light addict]

Right the problem is I started 2 plants in one tub a couple of months ago and they've gone to seed. They were on there own for the first couple of months then added it to a few more plants that i had just started. They lived together for a couple of weeks until i noticed a problem, the older plants had started seeding. I've pulled some bud apart and seeds just begining to form.
The other plants have just started going into flower, so they had a couple of weeks together, but maybe only 4-5 days in which the others had started to show the beginings of flowering.

WILL THEY BE AECTED??

HOW CAN I TELL FROM MY OTHERS IF THEY'VE BEEN FERTILIZED ALREADY?

DO I NEED TO CLEAN DOWN MY GROW AREA?

HOW DO YOU SEX AN AUTO, SO I CAN MAKE SURE I HAVE NO OTHER MALES LEFT IN MY GROUP?

Pics are firstly the ones that have just started to pistol then a couple of other plants that havent pistolled up the same way.

Im now paranoid that all these will be recked! any help would be awesome thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey man, I'm new to growing so I really can't answer all of your questions, but someone will who has more exp. than me. First off, welcome to AFN this place is GREAT you can learn alot if you're willing. You asked "Do I need to clean down my grow area?" That is a big YES, you want to keep your grow area very clean. If it's not clean it's like an open invitation for all sorts of crap. Tell us a little more about your set up and whatcha got goin'. It will help everyone help you better.

If that male was dropping pollen then you may no longer have a sinsemilla grow on ur hands... As far as how they will be affected they will be a lil less potent as they spend energy into producing seeds.. If pollen has not dropped then pull that male out.. But if it's already dropping pollen I don't think cleaning up at this point would save ladies from being seeded.. But deff clean well for future grows... And you can't force sex auto like photo... It's an AUTO meaning it will automatically start to flower on it's own.. But they won't be wrecked just look at it like this... FREE seeds for next time.. U have to watch daily and check for things like sexing if ur wanting to avoid pollination. Much luck hope this helps bro. Peace!

How do i tell if any pollen has been dropped?

Also from re reading ur post if ur pulling bud apart and seeing seeds in a plant u never pollinated then sounds like it's a hermie... Which can also self polinate and surrounding plants..

Also does it matter that I dont think ive had a male, just that I hermied the older pair. Does a hermied plant drop pollen?

The little nut sacks will open up to release the pollen and you should be able to see this.

If they go all way through life cycle and have seeded, will the seeds be fem autos?

On a male you would see powder droppings. But if seeds are being formed already I'm thinking it's already present... And by the time u saw this powder it would more than likely be too late.. Gotta pull males asap unless ur wanting seeds.
