I'd transplant them to their final home. If its a garden or raised bed, you can use manure as a mulch by placing it on top of the soil, but really only compost (lots of it) is needed. Containers on the other hand will need supplemental feedings. Dry or liquid is fine, doesn't matter which. More important is to build up the soil, learn your strain, and understand what the fertilizer is doing. Ideally the less fertilizer you use the better... It saves you money and it's better for the environment.

I wouldn't do anything to them; assuming your growing outside with lots of soil and space. Indoors, the rules are a little different. For example, I took some clones of The OG #18. Those that had lots of soil naturally became very bushy. The clones that were placed really close together and had less then 10 gallons of soil looked like a completely different strain with very little branching.

This isn't true of all strains. My Super Silver Haze benefited from being topped. I didn't do anything to my Hawaiian Snow and frankly I'm glad I didn't because she's looking like an 8ft x-mas tree. I say for your first run, don't do anything. Trust that the breeder knew what they were doing.

I used topping and/or LST and a little supercropping on all but one plant this year. That plant, left to her own devices, grew into a 12 ft Christmas tree worthy of Rockefellar Center! She will probably be my biggest yielder this year and was a lot of fun to watch grow. I expect over 2 lbs off that beauty. Go figure. The topped and LST'd were easier to tend to so ... not sure what I am going to do next year.
