Need an expert opinion. First sign of pre flowers today growing an auto and these showed up. Am I thinking this is a male? Are these male pre flowers?

No, wrong shape for male flowers..........pistils should emerge next day or two at the most. Male flowers are more rounded and appear at the end of a short stem.

Good morning, I would say female but I share the opinion that it's too early to be sure...

Wait one more week, but even now i would say its a girl 99%. Plants have single calyx under each branch.

What to watch for over the next 3 to 5 days. If Female: The tiny green teardrop-shaped pod (calyx) will grow flush against the stem. Soon after, one or two wispy, white hair-like structures (pistils) will sprout from the pointed tip. If Male: The growth will form a smooth, rounded, egg- or spade-shaped ball. As it matures, it will grow a tiny, distinct stalk (pedicel) lifting it slightly away from the main stem, resembling a "ball on a stick" with absolutely no white hairs..GL

It is a bit too early to tell definitively from this photo alone. When plants first start showing pre-flowers at the nodes, the structures can look very similar before they fully develop and open. Here is what you'll want to look for over the next few days to confirm sex: * Female (Pistils): Look closely at the node for small green teardrop-shaped calyxes. Shortly after, a pair of fine, white, hair-like pistils will emerge from the top. * Male (Pollen Sacs): Male pre-flowers typically look like smooth, rounded, spherical balls or tiny "spades" sitting snugly right in the node, often attached to a tiny stalk without any white hairs. Wait about 3 to 5 more days. At this stage, they are likely just starting to form, and clearer distinguishing features (pistils vs. pollen sacks) will become visible very soon. Keep a close eye on the upper nodes where pre-flowers typically show first!
