does this look like a male?

Keep an eye on the calyx on the nodes. If more of those appear and they don't open up and display pistils, you have yourself a male. How long has this plant been on 12/12 lighting?

I learned the hard way as far as outdoor plants you have to wait to be sure indoors the sexing happens alot faster so I actually pulled plants thinking they were males.

One of the pics looked male to me, the rest were blurry and hard to judge. If they aren't showing definitive sex yet then they are obviously very young and a ways from posing any threat to any surrounding females. I would just keep doing your thing for another week or two until you see further development. If it becomes more of a single pistol with hairs coming out, you'll be looking good. If the calyx begins to grow a small narrow stem and grow away from the node, developing multiple little balls or pollen sacs at the end, you are looking at the beginning stages of a male. Always pay attention to the nodes if growing from seed to ensure that over time they do not start showing hermaphrodite signs (both male & female characteristics growing from one plant) as that will be just as detremental in the end to your crop as a male, yet they can be sneaky to find at times for novice growers.

Good luck on your female to male ratios!
 
You could just move him to his own little spot out of the flower area and collect pollen and make a couple of buds worth of seeds to store away.:weed:

Just wait it out its way to soon to pollinate if it is a male you will no when it gets older I would start worrying when you see actual stems with balls on the end then they will be close to opening and pollinating, just wait it out a little longer.
