I'm running out of space in my grow area, and it's time some decisions be made as to the fate of my "males."
I'll be giving a few away and culling the rest, but I need reassurance that I've properly sexed these plants before do anything drastic.
A little background, not really important to the thread:
Here's a pic of the room as of yesterday:
Now -- Down to business.
Of the twelve or so plants in the room, I'm positive that 5 are females and 2 of them are definitely males, so they won't be pictured in this thread.
However 5 of the plants are still giving me a hard time. I took photos of them with my roommates DSLR but it's pretty old and I had a hard time getting the focus just right.
Plant 1 -- This one strange. It appears to be a calyx in the photo but it is rather large, especially since I don't see any hairs. Look at it compared to the blurry new growth to the right of the "calyx":
Plant 2, 3, 4, and 5 all look similarly confusing to me. Two projections with no real "balls." They still look male to me, but I just don't know.

So if you took the time to look at my pictures, what do you think?
Should I go ahead and get rid of them?

A little background, not really important to the thread:
- Closet grow area about 3'5" x 2" or around 7 sq ft
- I'll be putting in a screen for scrog pretty soon as I plan to veg for 3 or 4 more weeks (I plan to use my vertical space)
- 600w Metal halide lamp in a cooltube with a cheap 270cfm inline fan and a ~100 cfm PC fan. The combo is actually pretty potent and not to loud. It has kept my temps ~75 F so far this summer.
- Growing in Fox Farms Ocean Forest
- Lots more details, if you want to know just ask.
