5 different plants in total.

Attached is them in one shot. I numbered them based on their location. Furthest one in the corner is #1, and then just continue counting clockwise. #4 is pretty hard to see, she is a little short, and between #3, and #5.

I'm trying to determine who are males and who are females. It's probably still too early to tell, but there are a few defining characteristics happening.

eg: look at #1, are those the balls everyone is saying I should be looking for(to identify it as male)? #3 looks to be starting it too(with the little balls), but on its epicotyl, it has what looks like the start of a female flower... So I guess maybe hermie?

What do you guys think? My guesses as of now are:
1,3 are males
2,5 are female
and 4 is really too soon.

What part are you looking at specifically? I was aiming for the Epicotyl, and trying to keep a node visible. I can try and get a better picture, but that light turns everything orangy in pics.
 
I increased the exposure by a second, then put my hand behind it for some contrast.

This is #1 again.

Everyone is 100% this is a male? Is the giveaway that little cluster of ball looking things at the node?
 
somtimes if you take it in a different room without nthe hps lights it will much easier to see. but a male indeed

pre flower shows male in my pics it was a Male flower before opening yours is still inpreflower if it was female it would have hairs and no balls see how the balls are raqised alittle off the node the hairs female preflower will just slit and the hiars willcome out when in full flower the plants act the samr famales have hairs males have balls/pollen sacs thairs are like the hairs on corn and take the pollane to were it needs to go the fertilize the flower to make seeds yes thats right the female makes the seeds.
 
I just dont want to accidentally kill a female. The pre-flower stuff is a bit harder for me to identify. Thats why I am posting what I think are the males for you guys to help me confirm.

The other one that I think is a male, is #3.

This is... him

The balls are much smaller, but I believe that is still balls. Do you guys agree?
 
withoutAchance, thanks for the advice, I will let #1, and #3 chill a few more days. Thanks for the help guys!
