How long until males pollinate

I have 4 plants and still not sure about the whole male/female thing

I get the balls vs pistils thing.

1 I'm 80% sure is male (just by what I've seen here)

What I'd like to know is how long until I can be sure about a plant being male until it pollinates the other (potential) females?

If you know it is a male then you cut it down right away. When the balls open depends on a lot of variables.
Best to just chuck as soon as possible.

I get them very early, I can see those balls when they are the size of pinheads just forming at the branches. Take no chances, they can open up overnight and cause you instant headaches. I usually work with clones though, but for special reasons I am flowering some from seeded stock atm, it lets me remember why I prefer clones.
