My plants seem to be doing fine they are in week 3 of flower I have 4 girls for sure one still isn't showing not sure what to make of that. One of my plants was burned very badly and I cut a lot of it then found out it was a girl I thought since it sprouted up so much faster than my other plants that it would be a male. During veg it was the size that my other plants are now so it was crispy burnt. Should I keep it and see what I get or just say screw it? Also anyone that is using FFOF do you have to keep putting more soil on top? When I went to water Tuesday the soil seemed too low my plant was wobbling and I could see where the plant branched off to the roots that was the second time I had to add more soil on the top just wondering if it's the soil or maybe I didn't plant deep enough.

The sad pitiful one is the one that got cut had to cut almost half of it

No, you don't just throw dirt on top, eventually you'll fill the container and be unable to water from the top.

They're getting wobbly because the vegetation is getting taller, wider, and heavier. Wait till you see how heavy they get with buds on top, lol. Get some wooden or bamboo skewers for shishkabob from the grocery store, insert them to the bottom of the planter to use them as a stake, and tie the main stem to the stake with a twist tie or twine.

You can still do LST...

If you have room under the flower light, no plant is too deformed to throw in there and see what she'll do. If that's not a growers rule, it should be.

I find it necessary to add some soil sometimes. If watering it compacts it down and you start seeing root and you have room in your pot, fill it up.
Your plants are looking pretty decent. Its odd that one plant hasnt shown sex yet. A little over two weeks is the longest I have had a plant take to show sex and in that case I had flipped to 12/12 a few days earlier than I normally would have.

As far as training goes... I recommend growing out a few batches and learning the natural growth process before doing any real training. You can never replace what you learn your first few grows. All the books and internet posts in the world dont amount to 1 good grow.

My friends who I have introduced to growing, grow the first batch unmolested. 2nd batch, 1 top. 3rd batch 1 top (repeat 1 top because 3rd batch is generally your best batch to that point). After 3rd batch, do and try anything and everything.
