Did I find this male too late?

I F'd up. I always use fem seed, but got sloppy and overlooked the fact that a freebie I had gotten was regular, and in fact, a male. I discovered this on this Bubba 76 plant 14 days into flowering. Previous to that it had vegged for 38 days. It was in a 4 x 8 tent with 5 plants of different strains, also 14 days into flowering. On the other half of the tent are 4 plants, budding nicely, on day 36 of flowering.

So my questions are: am I definitely screwed here, and if not, how and when will I be able to tell? What can I salvage; particularly with the 4 plants, 5 weeks into flowering? Any chance they will be OK? This is my first encounter with a male and these are my 2nd and 3rd grows. Thanks in advance.
Here's what my tent looks like. The budding, 5 week old plants are on the right. These pictures were taken 4 days ago.

Doesn't look like it was too late...none of the pods look like they are newly opened, or about to open...so I wouldn't worry about it...

was that a bubba 76 freebie from attitudes lucky 7 promo? if so, it was supposed to be fem. just about everyone has been reporting males or full blown herms.

Another one, same response applies:

Someone over at ET has some explaining to do, haven't seen any of the BUBBA76 actually be fems or even hermies.

As others have pointed out the pods still look closed do you may be ok, If you do not want to kill him and collect some pollen just cut a branch and place in water and it will finish of and provide pollen forr those pollen chucking times.

I got almost 2g of Bubba76 mannliness stored.

you guys will learn one day free seeds from the tude are free for a reason..nobody would buy them..they give garbage for freebies check out the seed depot..my ten freebies (spent 300$) were hawaiian skunk x romulan.

I wouldnt say they're all garbage... Some of them are new strains.. I know the previous purchase i made from them (middle of march) I got a CH9 blue lemon thai as a freebie.. And they first came out in January

Yes, it was. I just checked back on previous orders and noticed it wasn't marhed fem, but I could swear it was when I popped it.

Well, maybe not all! I've gotten a couple I'm really pleased with. I did notice on a forum that early April freebies were herming like crazy, so i haven't done anything with those seeds. I did just make an order today to take advantage of the free 7 seed June jubilee. I now know to keep a better eye on things.

lol how did you not see those? serious question!
Though under the weather the past week, I don't really have a good excuse, The plant was in the back and those tops just shot up the last couple of days. Mostly I guess I was being blase' about fem seeds and not paying proper attention. I seem to need to make each error once!

After tossing the Bad Boy, I was about to toss 3 of it's clones that are 1 week into veg. But then I thought of a better idea. Since these are my first males, I'm going to let them go to pre flower so I can study and get a good look at how males look as they do that. Then I'll throw them out. Might as well get some schooling from this mistake!

You do know that Attitude are the ones that open the breeder packs and repackage the seeds for singles and freebies, right?
Good question, has anyone actually seen a thread with a Bubba 76 HERM? All I've seen are people complaining of straight males. I've said it before, and again I'd put money on Attitude fucking up and mixing regs with fems.
