Hey bud. You need better lights, that plant is super stretched. What lights do you have? The leaves look good and healthy though so good job on that.

Enjoy your harvest.
i think you need stronger lights. And I would lower them so the plant isn’t stretching to reach. Raise the light throughout the growth.

It only been since September 29th lmao from seed. I started flowering about 3 weeks ago... I don’t have the best brand light but it’s 200 watts.... they don’t fall over maybe when they start getting bigger buds i will run into that but there about 5 feet 8 like about my height almost and I’m 6 foot... and I have one that’s taller then me I might be kicked out of my house soon (if the wife has any say in it lol) if I have to have another plant just hanging around the house beucae my tents not tall enough..

Hey Man, if you got a 200 watt draw than you need to lower the light much closer to the plant. I get that it's not a big name brand light but that isn't the most important part. I started my first grow with cheap Amazon lights and did fine. Get the light much closer to your plant and it will be happier. With such a difference between the top cola and the rest of the plant you will either burn up the top cola or not get enough light to all the lower buds, there is one or 2 feet of space between your top and next buds. It happens but next plant lower it and try to do something to keep things a bit more even. A 6 foot plant should be more like this.
And an even canopy is a big goal you should shoot for.
So this isn’t good then

They are tall and spindly. You got them in the end game so be happy. All the above advice is solid and I have nothing to add. I see pros, and cons. Refine your craft and enjoy what you have done.
Yea this is legit my first time ever even attempting I came across some money and brought everything and this was my first run. I’m a plumber so I was real ruff on the hands. I’ve developed some what of a green thumb over the months.... I’m just trying to get some soils advice foe my next go around... one of the members here was a great help he actually attributed to a lot of my success great guy.
So I should start flowering when there smaller I though the taller the better

Hey bud, well they are alive so you have done better than some. Looking at your pic it appears the taller one is not even under the light any more. You need more light, you need your lights closer when they are small. You commented "So I should start flowering when there smaller I though the taller the better ". Don't think as much about the height of the plant, what's important is the spacing between the nodes. A healthy plant under good light will shoot new nodes every couple inches. When plants are stretching like yours the nodes are way to far apart creating tall spindly plants. The pic you posted is pretty dark but those plants should be much shorter and fuller. Keep going and get to harvest. That in itself is an accomplishment. After that you can try to do something with your lights and your next run should be that much better.
So this is exactly what I have going on the plant on left outgrew the height of light I have to re arage my set up to get my light higher which I’ll do today... but if you see the plant I have in middle my kitchen it’s an auto so I said fuck it, but the one out growing the light in my tent now isn’t an auto and I don’t want to ruin it with less light. The auto Had the same issue it out grew the height of my light an I had to move it off to the side... the side branches on that plant are coming out beautiful but the top is lacking.... I’m trying to get these to harvest and I can move what’s in my closet into the tent as my new grow these ones in closet mixture of clones from my tent plants and 2 autos and 1 female.

The plants are outgrowing your light because they are trying to reach it. I would at min get another light to get into that space and than either raise your plants or lower your light for your next run and they won't grow nearly as tall. You really want to get those nodes as close together as possible. The thing is you are new to this so like everyone else it just takes some time to figure it all out. You will get it dialed in.
