so 9 out of 10 of my plants look like the one on the right but one of my plants looks like the one on the left. its about 6 weeks in veg. will my females be affected?

If they're in veg, should they be showing sex? Cut the male down before the pollen sac opens, otherwise you run the risk of pollination. If there isn't much breeze where you're growing then you might be ok.

a couple of the pollen sacks did open. but my females are in veg, they shouldn't be affected especially if I'm not going to start flowering them for a coupld more weeks

The pollen sacks shouldnt be popping yet if they are in veg, or even be fully formed, but then i do hear some strains males do that so if your sure they are male kill them. Spray your possible females with water, dont put it right back under the lights right away. Water is enough to neutralize pollen. Although since your possible female isnt flowering yet it shouldnt cause problems.Better safe than sorry. Showing sex in veg is completely normal. it happens when a plant is mature, no matter the light cycle. The balls shouldnt be popping already though.

lol, there wasn't that many. I almost think it was a hermy. there was like less than 10 that popped and they were very small and not very clustered. its a diesel strain, so mainly sativa. I had caused some stress to the plants, but got them back in healthy order. I've heard stress can cause this too
