Possible male, need help....

I have three plants and after some close examination today I beleive I have a male (or hermi at least).

Since this is my first grow I wanted to check with you guys before I destroy it (which will be a sad task, it's about 5 foot high and so thick and full I cant even see the main stem, unlike my 2 definate females). I tried taking photo's but my camera phones so bad I wont even waste your time with those pics. Hopefully a description and a (bad) diagram will be enough.

The seed's were some crappy random seeds a mate found in his weed that he decided to plant and they all took amazingly. He couldnt be bother with the upkeep so I offered to take them off his hands when they were about 6 weeks old.

They've been on 12/12 for a week and a half/2 weeks, and while the two females showed signs early the offending plant was really slow to show (I assumed it was because it was so much bigger so it would take more energy).

Over the space of a couple of days flowers have appeared but they appear more wheat-like than wispy. They're not exactly balls, and everything's compact, not dangling, but they're definatly very different to the other two plants flowers. They have 1 or 2 wispy white hairs per flower, but nothing like the unrulyness of the females.


Now, what I need to know from you good people is...

1. Are my fears that it's a male correct?
2. If so, what are the chances it's already ruined my females?
3. Instead of just plain destroying it is there anything I can do? Like cook it or cure it for smoke?
