I started from seeds and I didn't have the my grow room completed so I left the plants in a small aeroponic setup for too long. When it came time to move them, I had a mess of roots grown together and it was impossible to separate them without damaging them.

I just forced them into flowering and after one day, one of the four was definitely male. I am not certain about the other three but they are looking similar to the male plant that I already pulled.

My question is whether root damage increases the chances of a plant being male over female.
