Indoor grow from seed- seeking help

Hello, I am doing an indoor grow from seed. I have lots of questions, so to start here is info on my grow:

Two 300w LED lights with a 600w LED arriving today.
4'x4'x6' space that can expand out and up. This area is blocked off to keep the light in.
My grow is in black gold organic soil.
I have been watering once a week.

Started 7 seeds on 7/18 and have already found one male. I found what I am pretty positive is another male, just wanted to confirm with rollitup before throwing it away. See photo #1 to help me determine sex! See pic #4 for the 6 still going, top is 8/19 bottom is 8/26.

I also started 9 seeds two weeks later and two of those never sprouted. Of these 7, two look pathetic and are being put outside on the patio instead of stealing space in the grow space. These 7 are pics #2 and 3.

I've gotten some yellow leaves on the bottom, but I think they're bouncing back.

I topped the first batch once, several of them twice now.

How am I doing?
Any advice?

Thanks everyone!!

Yeah last pic you put up is a male. I can't really tell about the other one. It honestly just looks like new branching growth to me. Once you see more than one ball at a node (cluster) then you know for sure that its a male. Some females dont sprout their pistols right away so they can sometimes be confused with males. If you wait till you see growths clumped up with each other like in your most recent pic, then you know it's a male. Everything looks fine, keep it up:peace:

Got the pots ready, yay glad to get them in larger pots. The two small guys on the bottom right of pic #2 I gave to a friend, she is going to try her hand at outdoor, so I have more space in my grow. Now I have 11 total.

Honestly I just really love gardening in general. It's my happy place. I grow a lot of non smoking flowers and vegetables. But I can see how potting up that many would drag on a bit!

I'm a bit of a control freak, I have two partners, but I do the gardening bits myself.

Looks like you are pushing the feed hard. The dark color might suggest heavy on the N.

The dark color isn't bad always. Some are just darker color.

I would watch out for over feeding and getting salt bud up.

I think they would benefit from up potting them.

Back off on your watering a bit when you do. Feed a little less and water until good run off to prevent salt build up.

Thank you! I only gave them grow food one time. May be in the soil I am using?

I have 7 gallon pots on hand!

What type soil?
If you let leaves get yellow they don't repair themselves. You have to watch new growth.

It's called black gold natural and organic potting soil. The best I could get at Ace Hardware. The only thing I know it has is earthworm castings.

Yeah I have had some bottom leaves go yellow, then crispy, then fall off. Boo.

black gold if a good organic soil for our belovid plants if a bit rich. I agree with bob maby a bit over fed. You may never need to feed your girls depending on your lights. Marketing of leds is horable you plug your 600w into a kil a watt meter and find out its 230w which will bairly replace 350w of hid. Think of light and co2 as calories and nutes as vitamins. Lots of calories make you big n beafy but without the right vitamins your teath will go bad, devolupe anemia ect. Big but not strong or healthy. The scrawney guy need not near half the vitamins as the football player to stay healthy and if he ingested the same amount of vitamins and minerals the 350lb football player did he would probably get toxic levles. Guess what im getting at is definatly dont feed untill you see a dificiency keep good notes so you can advoid the dificiency in the future. One more thing. Dont ever take your plants that you took outside back inside to the other plants. 1 min is all it takes to bring in a mite or aphid into your garden.

Here are some pics from today, I haven't done anything to them since my original post here. Got the third light hung. I plan to get most of these transplanted to the big pots on Sunday.

Not sure if I can top again, or if I should flip to 12/12 given my space. taller plants are 16" tall.

I got rid of 2 Tahoe OG (gave to a friend) to free up space. I have 11 now, with 6 confirmed female.

Sorry if I am not supposed to post these here, I have a grow journal too

When are you taking pictures and what's your humidity? When was your last water? The first and last couple where looking good. The middle, well they are weeds. Looks like toxicity. Soil is hot. You should flush. In my humble opinion.

I take pictures During the 18 part of the 18/6, Humidity is in the 40%'s. I flushed them over the weekend, do you think I should again?

No if you just flushed them give them time to recover. Knowing u have flushed you need to give them time to recover. What exactly was your run off at for pH/ppm? Everything else sounds fine.
