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

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.

Would be far worse if you were using a fan cos it would have blew all over the place, a spray bottle should sort you out you can also buy cleaner just for the grow room plant friendly.

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?

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.
