Advice Please?

Hi,

Really could use some help.
My strains are all auto -feminized:
Strawberry Kush(25% - 75% Indica dominant strain, THC levels at 17% - 19%)
Pineapple Haze ( 30% - 70% Sativa dominant strain, THC levels at 17% - 19%)
Blueberry ( 20% - 80% Indica dominant strain, THC levels at 16%)
Flowering period (64 to 68 days)

I'm on my 11th week, and things have gotten pretty interesting. I added a plant that I thought was a female, then I thought it was a male because two of my three (blueberry and strawberry) are pollinated. The pineapple seems to be okay, with foxtails all over. I'm now convinced the pollinated ones were "stressed" into hermie stage, because the rogue seed is growing nicely and there are no balls anywhere on it. It's all yellow and brown pistils(I'll show images). Here's the problem I'm having:

Blueberry, Strawberrry, Pineapple-
None of them have shown any color, and though they are covered with resin, sticky and smell nice when you touch them, they don't really 'reek', you know what I mean? I flushed them about four weeks ago, and they seemed so close to the end about two weeks ago, so I began cutting back on the nutes and increasing the water and molasses. I did get hit with those gnats, but I think I've tamed the problem a bit. They are on 12/12, fan in the room, etc.

I'm trying to figure out whether they'll ever change color? If not, is that okay?
If they went hermie, would that delay the times of harvest? Do I need to be faithful to the times set by the seed bank, even though I see heavy resin on bundled calyxes that have little pistils sticking out, but not much else?
Should I go back to nutes and maybe increase the lights (keeping the 12/12), in hopes of speeding up the process, even though they're seeds (At least I think so, anyway)?

The Rogue Plant-
Towers over the other plants, with really nice pistils, but no smell, no resin. I'm not too concerned, because I don't think this is an auto-flower, which could explain the flowering, but no resin yet. I did dry a bud and the high is definitely potent, as are all the other plants.

Maybe it's time to put them into darkness, followed by a good flush and then harvest? Any advice much appreciated.

As for the images,
the 1st, 2nd - pineapple
3nd- blueberry
4th- strawberry

If they are auto flowering plants they probably need more light. 18/6 would be better than 12/12, more light is better with autos. If the "rogue" plant is not an auto it changing the light cycle could cause it to reveg meaning come out of flower and start growing again. Sometimes they do not have color in the buds, it is cool to look at but won't affect the quality of the smoke. From the looks of the pics it looks like they can use some more time. Some bigger pictures of the plants would be nice. Hard to tell anything with them being so compact.

Thanks, Ak. I added my Apollo HPS 600 to my CFLs. As much as I like the latter for lower bills and its 'stealthiness,' I just can't let go of what I know did the job in the past. Just gotta do more homework on CFLs and LEDs. It seems to work well for others, but I get awfully impatient with 'em.
