Autoflower question

Hi, I'm a newbie growing autoflowering strains. I have two separate tents and am trying to stagger the plantings for a perpetual harvest.

My question is:

I have some 4 week old females and some seedlings that have not been sexed yet. Is it best to separate the unsexed seedlings from the females? I'm wondering if the presence of the females next to the unsexed seedlings will encourage the seedlings to be male?

This may be an outrageously stupid question....

But thanks!

ive often thought that myself, that by keeping the males for as long as you can before they spew to influence the rest to be female.

but now i tend to beleive that the genetic makeup of the seed is already predermined and it is what it is.
