Pics number 9 and 10 (9914 and 9915) look male to me, but I can't say for certain.

If I can pop in and just toss out a few things I do.?
So I use these type of glasses for my inspections. Whether for pests, deficiencies, or sexing.
When I’m doing a longer veg. Say 90-120 days. Somewhere around week 8 is when I will flip the lights to 12/12 for like 7 days. Then back to 18/6. Let them ride a week or two more. I usually can tell by then.
I only use this method on long grows. Not quick flips. Due to the stress on the plant.
However some are stubborn and don’t show even then.
I find weeks 8-10 to be the best time to begin looking.
Hope any of that makes sense. Idk been up since 230 am.

Search something like hands free jewelers glasses. I use one the has only one lens. Find it easier to have an eye that sees close. One that can see everything else. Hands free to move about the plant.

One of the smart scientists here. Should make a test for home use. Kinda like a swab test or something. Quick and easy. Results in 15 minutes type thing.
Idk just spitballing at this point

I have more sexing pics along with an infographic I found that shows exactly where I should be looking. I think these are better than the last ones but nowhere near as good as Stunger's. It is proving to be very difficult to get clear shots. Carcass' Carsticks
are impeding the process somewhat.
Here are today's pics:
Purple Satellite1:
Purple Satellite 2:
Purple Satellite 3 (I don't seem to have as many of this one):
Let me know what you think.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm using a USB microscope for my pics as I found that my glasses interfered too much with the ones you use against your eye.

Those are pretty much identifiable at this point. Saw a few males. And a few females. You got it. Almost there.
Golly I looked at that lot and saw calyxes and the start of pistils in the last one. Am I wrong?

The last one looks male. However it’s behind that little part you see in the foreground. If the base has a little neck on it. It’s male. Could be wrong since can’t really see it.

Look what I got in the mail yesterday:
I bought them with the Cyber Monday sale from sponsor, @CannaPot who had the best seed prices by far from everyone else. All of the seeds cost less than $10 a seed so I was happy about that. I had to spend 100 Euros to get free delivery, which I did because not only is the delivery free when you spend that much but they automatically insure the package, too so I liked that.
Things I didn't like about Cannapot's website were:
All the seeds along the bottom of the second photo were freebies and I found info for the first 2 strains but couldn't find a whole lot on the breeder, ApeOrigin, which I found on the seedfinder website is actually the compilation of 2 seed banks into one, i.e. Ape Genetics and Origin Seeds.

Things I didn't like about Cannapot's website were:
- Each webpage seemed really busy with strains listed along the sides and not synchronized in position withe the pics on the other side of the page. But, maybe that's due to me being on a 13-inch screen.
- The descriptions and grow information for the seeds I bought were scarce. I had to go to other websites to get the information I wanted.

If a bulb on a thin stem is male then I have 2 for 3 males 
There's only one more to check and it aint sayin. We'll see.
NIce new selection of seeds HashGirl!

Hey HG, some of your pics still appear to be highlighting stipules or growth shoots so those ones don't help determine anything. The general blurriness makes it tricky.
I'll start with what seems most obvious;
#2 looks very male. - sorry.
#1, I see one shape that looks very male on a pedestal, but in another pic the shape could be female. I hope it is a female but the pic with the male shape on a pedestal concerns me and if I was made to guess at this point, I'd have to punt for male.
#3's pics don't really lend themselves to making a conclusion either way.
Number 2 being male is the one that stands out the clearest for me. Hopefully with a bit of luck #1 & #3 are females.
You mentioned previously, how a side by side pictorial comparison would be useful. I looked into it but I cannot make a montage or collage. An earlier version of our computer's operating system allowed that, but then it was unfortunately dropped on later updates. But it would be nice and I have a good selection of male/female closeup pics which I could use, so I will try to do it another way if I can work out how to do it. All the best.
Nice on all the seeds. I’ve been contemplating getting some Mamawi myself. Have you grown it before because I’d like to know what you know of it before I make an order soon.
I think @InTheShed has grown one.

Not me, but Stunger and Fudo have both grown Malawi crosses lately.

Thank you, Stunger. As I mentioned previously, I'm finding it challenging to take pics of the proper area because all those damn stipules keep getting in the way. lol
I think the pics are getting better. A stand came with my USB microscope so maybe if the microscope is steady, the pics will be better.
I was hoping #1 was female because it looks to be the healthiest. I haven't flipped any of them to 12/12 yet so I'll try for some more photos of 1 and 3. Do you think I should put #2 in the flower tent to confirm sex better?
No worries. I can probably find something online somewhere.
No, I've never grown any of Ace Seeds strains but I've wanted to try them since @Amy Gardner
grew them.And, although I planned to flip the Jack Herers to 12/12, I didn't have the timer set correctly until yesterday so they're a couple of days late.
I don't use a tripod myself because I don't have one but I am sure the steadier you can have the camera the better the resulting picture.
I have only grown outdoors so far, so I don't have any 'flipping' experience. But of #2, it appears to me to be already developing balls, so I am not sure if flipping would make too much difference, I guess probably would make it happen faster. But in my experience of developing males, the development into balls starts to escalate and show more obviously from this point.

I've got some Ace Seeds growing nicely. All of them sprouted.No, I've never grown any of Ace Seeds strains but I've wanted to try them since @Amy Gardner
Which ones you got going @cbdhemp808?
