Male dominant hermaphrodites
I must admit it must be nice to have all the time and MONEY to try it out.
1 facts of life , growing pot can get you put in jail or drug rehab.
2 The cost of even expensive seeds is cheaper than attorney fees,power cost, fert cost and last but not least the cost in hours/months.
Way back when time started lead was tried to be changed in to gold. A few hundred years later. The best thing to do with lead was to go fishing.
Feed the plants to your rabit and be happy if any of the seeds pass through the rabit, burn it. Not you have shit potash and a green garden. Grow tomatoes and sell tomatoes to buy good seeds. Be happy

Why are you hanging on to autoflower males?
It's not unusual for a male which is kept alive & flowering long enough to toss a few pistils. See above.
Autoflowering drug cultivars are produced by hybridizing a standard drug cultivar with a ruderalis ( a Northern European/Russian sub-species). The expression of reproductive behavior regardless of photoperiod is an entirely differant strategy, suited to extremely harsh climates with an extremely short growing season- whole differant mechanism.
I'm thinking that you still have males because your going to run off seed? Don't hold me to this, but I think that next gens may have some weird variations in flowering behavior- Seems like the line may wanna split back into an autoflower/low potency pheno and a photoperiod-determinate / more potent pheno. I dunno, though... maybe the old man in me is just resistant to progress.
