So just a little update and I do appreciate everyone's feedback so thanks.

@whitebb2727

All my plants went into 12/12 last night Round 6pm. somehow I feel they got stronger idk that's just me but.

@Sneex

First of all, "Nicole + Ellis" - are those strains or are you naming your plants? I don't name anything I'm going to eat or smoke, just makes killing them more difficult. But that's just me.

Secondly, are you planning on running them full term in those pots, or do you intend to move the individual plants out into separate pots?

So yeah this is my first grow. basically started with things I found round the house nothing store bought working with what I got and a few stuff I got from my friend bud a,b nutrients and light bulbs cfl.

So Ellie+Nicole are staying in the pot I'm afraid the roots would be to tangled to seperated so I dont want to risk it being my first grow.

and the little rascals on the right are also staying I mixed soils from old pots unknowingly 2 pots had clay type dirt rest were soil; so about 1/3 clay type. so this dirt is thick and also would be sketched out about ripping roots

I named them to have fun with the grow take care of my babies ya know.

Yeah, just joking with you about the naming... I've lived on a farm so I got the hard line about not getting attached to things that will be harvested.

At this point you are probably right about not being able to separate them. If you feed them well and flip them early, they should all get by.

All good bro haha. should I add flower nutrients now?

OP congrats on your sprouts and keeping them healthy. Here's to the triplets playing well together in the weeks to come! Separate pots next time..

Looks like topping has been discussed. It's worth knowing about "larf buds" and how to minimize them. Growth tips under what will be your veg canopy will start to form. With inadequate light, the best they'll do is produce little wisps that won't form into much of a bud. That stuff can be trimmed through flower, keeping resources going to buds in the lighting sweet spot.

A good general read on training in some way for results..

There was logic, barely noticed the gaps.

Just putting it out their kinda FYI style. If for some reason you lose your clones or loose a Mother it is totally possible to reveg after completion of flower. Just by leaving a small amount of the lower growth on the plant you can put it in 24 hr lighting and in 6-8 weeks you can take clones. Photo below is a plant that produced 2.5 oz after a week of 24 hr light. Next photo a few weeks of reveg last photo about 6 weeks reveg and cleaned up

Please repost with pictures in another format, wont let me open just goes to blank page.. I wanna see it and when u say leave a little growth you mean leave a bud site? I'm a little confused.. Also I'm getting alot of different feelings of which to top or not as of now I'm doing plants from seed indoors btw.. Also what's the difference from topping/FIM/pruning.. Currently was given the plant im growing now but weeks have gone by and something is going on ive never seen before glossy shiny spots/blotches with tiny blk dots on them only can see them with a magnifying glass
