Looking at the tag his last transplant was end of September so hes about 4 months old. Is that pretty normal to start dropping pollin? It just started this past week.

Seems super late to me. Males are taller and reach maturity before females do. I’ve seen pollen sacks open before the females have flowered. I can only assume that’s typical across strains.

Premature pollination, most guys have that issue sometimes. 
You can collect the pollen and put it in a jar with an airtight lid and pop it in the freezer to use later on.

Got me stumped. What’s the lighting schedule during this pollen dump?
Veg 18 and 6
You may try and pluck off the flowers. Like stopping spinach or basil from bolting. If it’s not in a grow bag I am also a big fan root pruning the root ball every few months. Males or females I am holding onto.
With males., when the root bind for a while I have found they often will spontaneously auto flower like that. I can usually tame them by cutting or pinching off the flower cluster tops, or take a fresh clone from a lower branch not blowing a load of pollen.
The take away is that I have found males not so easy to reveg like females. Once they have dumped pollen hard they usually just give up and die. You need that clone backup.
It’s the only time I don’t use grow bags is on clones I am saving/bansai growing to preserve. The root ball cutting is an important step in my experience.
The good news is that males clipped/pinched back usually stop floral clusters from continuing. If it was a male I really wanted to keep I would probably up the light to 22 or 24 on and dim it a tad. Till I saw normal veg growth. Then next time have a back up clone.
