Also, do I need to worry about cross pollination while all are still vegging?

Low THC counts.

The pollen that thing drops....Will remain viable and on surfaces in that grow area for up to 6 months!
Every time you move something around in there, you stir up that sitting pollen.
So yes, the potential to pollinate the others will last for those 6 months...
Simple solution is to spray everything lightly with water.. Water kills pollen!
I mean everything in that area too! Not just the plants in it.

Ok thanks. I’m just gonna pull the girls out and bring them outside at this point with regard to the weather breaking in my area. Now if smoking it isn’t worth it then what good is this plant at this point? If the thc is lower, could one just smoke more of it?

It's not even mature, the best you'll do is get a minor buzz with a major headache...

What other uses does this male have Dr?

You can collect the pollen and use it to pollinate a female and make seeds. They would be regular seeds but you could make a bunch. What you would end up with depends on what you started with. You could find some fire or find nothing worth growing again. But regardless, if you don't want to pollinate your female plants en masse then get it away from them. But it's not worth smoking. Pollen and fan leaves makes for some nasty smoke. Males don't grow smokeable flowers.
Make sure you have some aspirin because you'll likely end up with a headache like @Dr. Who said.

If you want to make seeds, save some of the pollen for use later. But you have to be well away from the females. Like DW said, spray down the grow area with water to kill the pollen in there.
Sometimes when I have big outdoor males I will toss the smaller leaves into the oil pile. Probably not worth the effort, but hate to throw away that much leaf. And a brownie won't make you cough. Unless a crumb goes down wrong.

Personally would like something more accurate as they look deformed to me and i always wait it out till sure as nodes of fem plants can pop a few weird balls sometimes.
Obviously you want to keep it so that extra time to confirm will happen and a more true sexing occur.

Let him grow that male next to your precious babies and see if you dont freak out too. its already dropping pollen......Use it or get rid of it. You need experience to be fuckin with males.Everyone so scared of a little pollen, my precious plants, life wrecking moment sob sob sob....
Its a small amount of pollen guys chill the funk out, zero is going to happen if he leaves it alone, could just pluck them three bits off and act like a pro

Pollen dosent fly about in my tent it merely drops straight down and barely pollinates anything. Others have confirmed the same in rheir tents too on riu and there seems to be a whole subset of information your not telling because you have a windy tent that flies your pollen to every pistil at every point of the tent.
If i made a small pile of flour on my tent floor it would not fly off and be there in a few days - same for my pollrn dude so bring all your males ill try fit what i can in.
I do agree with the premise to remove males but in no way shape or form is my info the same as you pollen hateing windy tent scared ass growers so bite me

flour and pollen are way different. its too light to just fall down. it will get on everything inside AND outside the tent. hermies are a lil different, pollen from them is not "as bad" on flying around but true males , you can blow on and watch it fly up. Also when a female is pllonated then it starts to focus on seeds instead of buds. How is your tent not "windy" ? are they just sitting in stale air ? If you WANT males then its a whole other ballgame.....Pollen dosent fly about in my tent it merely drops straight down and barely pollinates anything.
