Pollen

I think you are in the clear, the sacks look closed and not open at all. and they are 100% pollen sacks no mistake there. When they open you will notice the little yellow looking pollen fingers inside them and maybe even yellow powder "pollen" just below them on the stems and leaves.. If you are trying to not pollinate your grow remove this male ASAP. and do not let it anywhere near other tents. even after you pluck the the plant it can force all its remanding energy into that pollen sack finishing up and opening. Water can deactivate pollen pretty well so spray them with water if you feel they might have opened.

Ummm could be as soon as week 3. I don’t know why you’re wanting to risk it if you’re gonna cut it down anyway? Or are you waiting to harvest pollen? If so I’d just move it to a different area or outside for a few days.. Once you have sacs like that, you can kill it off and they will open as the plant dies and release that pollen too. This is all assuming you’re trying to harvest pollen. If not, I’d kill it off asap
