Ok so a little update been around 4 day and my plants seem happy seeing bus sweel and just over all plant health looks good and not seeing and
Nanners or male preflowers but still got my to keep a close eye on them for anthor week or so which sucks cuz I'm use to just doing my Rez change and not messing with them for 10-12 days.

Try to keep things consistent and make as few changes as possible. You might get lucky and get through this without problems.
I would still keep an eye out, very vigilant, for the next week.

even if you get pollen sacs, it won't change much since you are 5 weeks in. It would take a week or two after the fuck up to get male flowers and by that time your buds will be close to done.

I just finished reading a book by "Tom flowers" stating that 24 hours of light around week 4-5 of flower will cause the plant to stop maturing already existing buds (not kill or reverse them, just stop maturation). After 1-3 weeks, the plant will grow new flower sites on top of already existing buds, at which point you would revert back to 12/12. This would start the maturation process over for existing buds, and give new ones time to catch up. This technique is said to add about 5 weeks in overall grow time, but up to a 25-50% increase in the already existing flowers, and around a 25% increase in yield overall!!

I've never tried it, but just something to think about
