Are these male?

Ok - first time grower... it's been a miracle my babies have made it this far along. I am growing a mixed bag of Kiwi Seeds (from their indoor mix), so am not sure exactly what I am growing (probably my first mistake). I have four plants in total, two that I am sure are females... they showed about 2 weeks ago. The other two plants, however, I haven't been able to tell what their sex is. I think one is White Island (the first two pics) and the other is Hindu Kush. I thought maybe they hadn't matured enough when I went to 12/12, but now I'm worried that they are males and I didn't notice.

I know these pics suck, but can anyone tell if these are males?

Many thanks.

i cant see by those pics but this should help you -

Thanks. My plants are nowhere near that obviously male... I guess that means I have awhile before they are ready to pollinate (assuming they are males). Any idea why it would take them so long to show their sex?

Thanks again.

Cant tell from the pics. If there are little balls or clusters of balls without the telltale hairs then you have yourself a male. If you see banannas then get them suckers out of there ASAP. If you arent sure give it a little time. You should be able to tell in plenty of time to keep them from pollinating your crop.

how long did you veg them for? and what light did you use
and how long have they been in 12/12?

Vegged them for 47 days (til they got to about 2 feet tall), although at least twice my pump or timer malfunctioned (actually it really was user error) and I had to resuscitate them back to life (they looked like limp, dead plants)... not sure how much that stressed them or stunted their growth. They were under 400W MH guring veg. They have been 12/12 for about 3 weeks now under 400W HPS.

oh right they should of all showed sex within 2 weeks of 12/12 easily, can you see the white hairs?

be careful that they are not hermies,lots of stress like having to be resurected will cause them to hermie or just go male.but they look o.k. cant really tell.put your camera on macro setting and try getting closer next time.good pics are the key to good help.

Ok - I will try the macro setting on my camera when I get home tonight and will post new pics. Thanks

Ok... thanks to Killer Vanilla's pic, I was able to determine that one of my four babies was male... axed him. Pretty sure all of the others are females! Thanks for all the help.
