thanks everybody for the quick answer !
one more question the other two didn't show their sex yet,
can a female get pollen before you can see her heirs with your bare eye ?

No they cannot, but stray pollen can stay around for months in your grow space.

Spray everything down with just plain water...like raise up whatever lights you are using and just spray everything...water makes pollen inactive whilst the pollen is wet...it also makes pollen stick to everything as opposed to flying through the air...so then if you wipe up it will mostly be gone...but this is why you sometimes find "ghost seeds" in basically seedless weed...lol.

As stated above, both pics show male preflowers man... this is why it is ALWAYS good practice to start at least double the number of plants that u will ultimately want to flower out, instead of just starting with one or two, and ending up with males, and no females... Those r worthless, unless u r a breeder, which I gather u r not... So, start six next time, and u will likely get at least two or three females... Then when u see these types of preflowers again, u will know to throw those out, and move your females into flowering when they become the size u sish them to be, keeping in mind the added growth that will occur once they begin a 12/12 schedule...

I always spray my walls with bleachwater and scrub them clean, and sometimes paint a new coat of flat white paint over to provide the cleanest, pollen-free, germ-free space possible to begin a new grow with... Good, thorough cleanings in between each crop r always a good practice to employ.
