i was able to confirm and clip one of the three and I’m worried about these 2 now. The lighter color hair (pistil?) I’m pretty sure is female but the first pic I’ve no idea. If anybody can help I’d be much thankful. 
Can someone help with yet another sexing question

Hey, thank you a lot, that’s really cool of you. This gets nerve wracking sometimes, I’ll get an eye on it.

I think you are correct, those pics were a few days ago and I didn’t have a camera this morning but the pistils are looking more light colored from what I could see. I’m going back this evening and hope I can confirm. Thank you and good eye.

Hopefully it will be more clear soon. The 2 plants are exactly the same size.

Once they all reach sexual maturity, if you still are not sure, a sure fire way to find out is to mark a limb tip on each plant, and cover that marked tip with a brown paper candy bag after 12 hours of light. Remove the bag after dark or lights out. Repeat this everyday, and you will see flowering on those limb tips after 10-14 days.

These are outdoors. These 2 have to be about ready to hit that stage. I’m going to get new pics later when it cools some. I’m hoping to be sure so I can kick back and wait.
i've only grow 4 males so far but they are round as hell literally looks like a ball and i never seen a single pistil coming out of them. the females can kinda be roundish too but i mostly grow fem seeds they are always more elongated and to me pear shaped.

The male that I yanked looked like it had undeveloped seeds stuck to it and I haven’t seen that with these 2. I’d love to be able to do fem autos but options are limited when one is oppressed.

Having to grow autos is just another form of oppression. Keep a male, make some seeds, put your seed money into no load mutual funds. {and if you really do want to grow autos, they sell regular auto seeds too. Easy to find a male and make enough seeds to last for years}

I guess I’m just wanting to be lazy. If I understand autos correctly tho, somebody should be able to get a couple of grows in a summer instead of waiting on fall. I could be wrong of course.

You could plant 3-4 rounds of them. About 4-6 weeks until sexual maturity, then 8-9 weeks of flower.
I had a couple of my photos auto flower last summer. I want to do some more grows with those strains and see if I can replicate it, then breed them. You get the fast flower, but the plant is chest high instead of knee high.
to me they just look like tiny balls until they get bigger then you see a cluster of um. i only get seeds in my females did an experience outdoor before didn't think pollen would reach that far but i already expected it anyways. grow indoors if you have the budget to you can easily grow year round. some places you can grow year round depending on your conditions though like for me i can grow year round outdoors but in reality i cant because we lack sunlight at my house too much shade we can't fix.

I read something about the aphids getting nectar and the ants go for that. I just hope they don’t cause damage.
Yea that. The aphids will cause damage for sure but ive never had an ant problem without having aphids.

Can a plant turn hermie after it starts flowering or is that worry over?
