how much light do they get per day? reason I ask is they look a little stretchy, other than that they look fine. I personally do not prune as the fan leaves store needed nutes,now some will tell you to prune. a gallon of water a day??? is that per plant?

your plants are in the vegetative stage right now, i would not sugest any toping or pruning right now, just let her fatten up and wait for her to tell you shes a girl in about a month or so
 
i fill the 1 gallon water bucket and as i water i wet the ground all around the plant its kinda on a mound so allot of the water flows down hill ,i would guess that they get light 1/2 the day they are allot of trees around so they block some light but the later part of the day the sun shines on them the one i think tat the light is on one side as i took the pic i saw it was favored to one side stretchy is that from not enough sun or not direct sun ?

combination of both. Marijuana will stretch torwards the sun's light. When marijuana stretches too much, that's their way of telling you they need more light.

for future reference try to find a spot that gets the best sun light from around 10 to 3 as the sun is the strongest in these hours and find a good spot with lots of open southern exsposure....

you might take them inside for a few(well 8 or 9) weeks and flower under cfls with a perfect 12/12 and force them to flower. or let them grow tall and lanky untll like sept-oct. youll actually harvest kinda around the same time anyways but your yield will be better indoors

Its still in the vegging stage. You should super crop while you still can, it has made my plant a lot stronger and instead of 1 head it now had 16 heads because I super cropped it twice! but be aware that the flowering stage gets pushed back until the plant fully heals, but you still have plenty of time left I highly reccomend it.
