this could potentially turn into a long post but ill do my best to keep it neat and easy to read 
Over the last week or so ive done alot of reading on these forums, TONS of great info, but im still in need of some expert advice my apologies in advance for the high res pics 
Backround info : first time ever attempting growing, and doing it in very limited means due to mah wife not being thrilled about it. I am using the absolute minimum means necessary to be successful, and cant afford some of the nice grow setups ive seen on these forums I am pretty limited for space, and cant do much in anything larger then my current pot, due to neighbors, wife ect. Not really looking for massive yields, just hoping for something.
As far as I can remember these were planted from bag seeds end of april/beginning of may. Just basically filled the pot with some quality potting soil, made a few holes and dumped in a bunch of seeds, only expecting to see 50% of them or so actually take and grow....boy was I wrong.
As far as I can tell none of the plants are showing signs of sex yet, is it perhaps still too early? Id really like to cut the number of plants in half if poss, so the sooner I find the males and get rid of em the better!
No special lighting or feeding regiment really, they were growing like wildfire for the first month and a half or so. Watering 1-2 times a week, gave them a little sprinkle of 8-8-8 plant fert about 2 weeks or so ago, and thats when it went downhill. Started seeing bottom leaves yellowing and dropping off from the bottom up, so I quickly removed what I assumed was excess fert., replaced the top 3inches of soil, and gavem a good flush till the water was runnin out the bottom of the pot a bit. After a week or so they began to perk back up, but still losing lower leaves.
To compound the problem, last week was between 95-100 with 60-70 humidity, pretty hellish. Every day after work id come home and the plants would look worse and worse. Showing a bit of lime green from the inside of the leaves out on top, but still relatively strong stems. And drooping omg! It seems that even today, with it being 82F outside, they are still drooping
When we get a slug of rain I always bringem inside because they just take a beating from the water weight. But anytime I bring them inside recently, out of the sunlight, they seem to perk up???
*update after typing some of this out*
put my babies outside for like an hour to get a lil sun today and this is what happened! (see outside60min1/2.jpg)
will try and reply with a pic in an hour or 2 to show any recovery from bringin em back inside.

When you're done watering, pick up the pot, and that'll give you an idea of how heavy it is when it's fully watered. It should be alot heavier than when you carried it outside this morning. Take note of that, and eventually you'll know when to water it, based on the weight of the pot. Sounds like alot of BS, but trust me, alot of guys do it, and it works great once you get the hang of it. Also, you can water them as heavily as you want, as long as you let them dry out between waterings(at least every 7-10 days). THAT'S the key.
