    They are getting 6 hours of "Lights out"
    So they are on 18/6

    I wasent really watching for sex so they may have been this way for a while. Is there a possibility of impregnation then? Would the males be producing pollen at this point?

    Preflowers, as opposed to full blown flowers, generally appear after the fourth week of vegetative growth from seed. Check carefully above the fourth node. Please note that preflowers are very small and impossible to differentiate without magnification. A photographer's 10x loupe is handy indeed when examining preflowers.

    As the images below demonstrate, the female preflower is pear shaped and produces a pair of pistils. Frequently, the female preflowers do not show pistils until well after the preflowers have emerged. Thus, don't yank a plant because it has no pistils.Pistillate preflowers are located at the node between the stipule and emerging branch.

    The male preflower and flower may be described as a "ball on a stick." Frequently, a male plant will develop mature staminate flowers after prolonged periods of vegetative growth. These appear in clusters around the nodes.

    The following image shows a male plant in early flowering. Staminate flowers are located at the node between
    the stipule and emerging branch. Note the clusters of flowers.

    The image below shows a male pre flower after 24 days of 18/6.

    Would the males have been producing polen at these points?

    I killed 3 of the males, thanks for the help, My biggest and star plant is a female, the 2 smallest were males, So i have one big lady and 3 average ones, 4 total. They are looking fine..

    Thanks for the help...
