I'm almost positive this is a male. I had it growing in the same closet with two other plants. They're all 2 weeks in 12/12 cycle. I took it out of the closet today. Is this gonna affect the other 2 plants?

You need to really be careful with males and learn to spot them ASAP. You were cutting it close I'll tell you that. You should be checking your plants 2 times a day once they go into 12/12.
Your females are fine btw

If you didn't get pollinated you are lucky. We went out of town for a week and a male who wasn't showing when we left had pollinated the whole closet by the time we got back and he didn't look even close to that developed. More recently we had one hermie ball on the back of a plant that looked just like one of the balls you have, and it pollinated everything that had active flowers. You might have gotten lucky, but my experience has been that you are really taking a big risk by letting it go that long.

Thanks for all the advice. I'd never seen a male so that's why it took so long. I'm still a kinda noob and still making mistakes it appears

if you wanted to you could pull the other 2 plants from the room and give it a good cleaning with bleach and water and take the girls outside and hose them down real good to wash off any pollen that was there. if the girls havent started to show her flowers yet you are safe. but aleast this way if any of his balls opened and you didnt notice then you are just a little safer washing the area down. whats it going to take a half hour or so. and if he did pollenate anyone atleast you will have plenty of seeds for your next grows. and learned alot in the mean time. i always try to look on the brighter side of a bad thing. see its not that bad you had a male. you could actually take his pollen and save it. and gentle brush just one cola and let it go to seed so you will have plenty of seeds if it is a good strain you paid top dollar for....just a thought
