Are you worried about pollen? You can just spray the room down with some water (will destroy the pollen) and carry on.

you only have an issue if the male busted a nut and released pollen. Otherwise no worries. But if you cant determine if he released pollen than a cleaning with water will do.

Just to be clear, having a male in your room isn't going to increase your chances for more males in the future, and your plant never "turned" male, it was born that way. It's not a bug that's gonna hide out and wait for you to put a new crop in, or a disease another plant is going to catch.

Finding out one of your "gals" is not a gal, is no cause for alarm, let alone taking down the whole room. Just remove the male from the room, and let the others go on about their business.

Find the reason for it to happen. Start with your environment, light leaks ...
Thank you I will strip the room and give it a really good clean out.. I'm unsure why my plant decided to change. And is there any chance of my clones would have been affected.. My room is outside and clones are in my bedroom..

Well first of all why do you think your plant turned male? Was it a female clone? If so did it pop just a few nanners and create a couple of seeds or did the entire plant turn male? The reason I ask is because it’s extremely rare for a female plant to turn male. Usually if its a male it was that way from seed. If it was a female that turned male then you have much bigger problems.

I there....!! yes it was a female clone and the plant changed at the stage of flowering, the white hairs were just starting to turn an orange colour.

What strain? Do you have any pics of it changing or the male pollen sacs? I’m curious as this is extremely rare. Usually you’ll get a hermie at worst. I’ve never heard of a female turning full fledged male. Even in extreme circumstances.

Unless I’m blind I don’t see any pollen sacs. I see a plant possibly revegging. But I don’t see any signs of pollen sacs.

I've just posted a picture of the plants... And I'm sorry I'm not sure on the strain or how to class it... My partner and I have two set ups... One at his one at mine. . And it's a clone from his crop and all his are doing fine..
