pre flower ID question

I have 100% ID'd one plant out of five as female. they are all showing pre flowers and the one is showing very distinct pistils. the others are showing more bulbous nodes that have little "hairy" things hanging off their ends, but not coming out from inside the way a female flower does.

should i wait till i put them into 12/12 to see if something changes, or should i go ahead and thin the herd. I am keeping one male through most of flowering to acquire pollen sacs for possible future use. If i ditch three of the supposed males, it would potentially increase the light quality available to my female. I have four relatively decent led panels for veg. they are stretched thin between 5 plants though

any insight or thoughts would be appreciated.
 
ok ok ok. ill try to snap some pics tomorrow night. I'm at work till 9:30 or so tonight so it will have to wait.. I am increasingly sure i have 4 males, but will feel more comfortable going through with the plant purge after a couple of you folks chime in. thanks for the responses.

photo on the left looks to be female and the one on the right looks to be male. correct??
I have the one on the left that shows that type of pre-flower and the rest look like the one on the right.
 
I think you may have another female in pic 2 in pic 1 that looks like the beginning of new leaf growth, but that 2nd pic looks like it needs a lil more time to show, i've had those swollen pod like things on my plant usually from when I lst or super crop but i've also had them by just having them as well just give it some more time.
 
The left is 100% female. You can see the pistils though they are blurry. I took more photos of the "males" in hopes of a more definitive ID.
