Northern Light autoflower, male or female ?

hi guys, i decided couple of months ago to start growing my own cannabis for the first time. i ordered on the website RoyalQueenSeeds 3 Northern Light autoflower seeds. one of my friend is used to order on this website and already has done a couple of growth with these seeds which have always germinated and led to a reasonable harvest.
so i ordered these three seeds, which germinated and started to grow (outdoor) really well.
the thing is, that after approximately 5 or 6 weeks, two of the three plants started to flower alright, while one never started flowering... instead, one of the plant kept growing and even now, still grows (i the seed germinated all at the same time 2 and a half month ago on June the 14th).
i harvested the two first one and the weed tastes really good, but i really wonder what is going on with this third one...
i know mistakes happen and i think that it could either be a male plant or a photoperiod instead of an autoflower. the thing is that i am sure of neither and i would really appreciate to be enlightened a bit on this matter to know what to do with this plant...
i attached to this thread pictures of the plant's looking from today (august the 29th).

thanks in advance for your precious help.

granted, but id say thats a female.
shame you dont have others to compare them too.
I was taught that males are lazy and females were buisy, ie lots of growth = female, tall and leggy = male
now to get you to photograph the nodes on the main stem and see if there are any signs of male or female parts.

the thing is that i don't see any kind of these precious little preflowers white hair... nor do i see male reproduction organs... is it possible for a cannabis plant to be non binary ?

can you take a pic of the nodes?? there should be definitive signs of sex on an auto at that stage of growth

i was about to say the same, if auto it would be in flower by now
Yeah my only concern wasn’t that it might have been a male photoP but I don’t know enough and don’t have a really good eyesight so I wanted to make sure by asking more experienced people than I. So really thanks I am gonna take good care of her and see what comes outta it.

I also think it's a female. The lack of autoflower is probably due to it being newer genetics but should still give you some good bud if you give her time.

Were your other 2 tall and thin like that?

I currently have 2 NL auto fems from Seedsman going right now. Both are short and bushy. I've not grown outdoors, so not sure if they typically grow taller and thinner outdoors.

here you have two pictures of what i believe are the nodes as well as one of the whole plant.
I have a lot of experience with Auto flowering plants, that is not an auto, and a heads up, they rarely get very tall at all, they stay short because they have a much shorter life span than photo types
