Thats a 100% male (clearly in pic 1) i see no pistils only balls indicating a full male and the seeds will be no good if its a hermie as the same genetics will be passed on to the next plant.
Those pollen sacks should open up like this.

It looks like a male to me (based on pic#1). I only see pollens sacs, and very thin vegetative growth. You may be mistaking those thin leaves for pistils. When a plant is in the flowering-cycle, it still produces new vegetative growth, yet the rate is obviously much lower than the veg.-stage. But kill that intruder before he F's your crop!

Unfortunately yes. And we can all say that without a shadow of a doubt. The pollen sacs are clear as day in all the pictures, not to mention the absence of pistils. The pistils will stand-out and scream "I'm a Female!" haha. You can definitely trust us!

The latest photos look male. I feel for you. I lost a month sometime back when I planted some "mystery" freebee seeds and they turned out male. From now on I use only feminized seeds.

oh and also, all the roots are kinda startin to grow together in the flood table, so if i rip the pots out will it hurt any of the other plants? or should i just chop the males at the base of the stem n leave the pots there for the time bein? thanks again!

Chop the males at the base and get them out the house or garden as soon as you can as the roots maybe binding beneath the soil so dont rip the males out just chop the at the stem base.

If you still have them up, thats crazy but what I would do is mist all the plants with water, and soak the males then chop below and place in baggies and tied shut.
