So I didn't look to sex the plants and the male has released pollen in my veg room. Are all my veg plants now going to seed out? Should I risk it or just start a new veg crop? Why would a dispensary sell a male plant? I'm a bit pissed but these are the first clones I've ever bought and I don't know what the standard practice is for dispensaries. Thanks

just get the male out of there. everything else should be fine. you may find a seed or 2 but i wouldn't worry.

was everything else in flower? if so, how long were they in flower? you may end up with pretty much nothing but seeds depending on how long everything was in flower.

No everything was in veg (24h light), all plants recent cuttings. The male was in there for three days with female cuttings.

I had the male under a 14 hour light cycle also the females but they were in a mondi dome. This was for a week, the 14 hours was a workaround but I guess the male sexed in that light cycle. Then I moved the females to separate pots and all plants to a 24 hour light room. The female's are ISS, the male is Camelback. I haven't been able to find anything out about this strain, the seller said it was a NL cross. I know it was male a couple of the pollen balls had opened. I tossed the bastard so no pics.

if everything else was in veg you have no problems. you may want to wipe the females and the room down with a wet cloth, but you should be fine.

As long as your females were in veg you should be more than okay. I would assume that proper ventilation would exhaust any pollen flying around. That's assuming you have proper ventilation though...
