Having problem germinating seeds

It will still flower, as long as the dark period is around 12 hours or longer, and undisturbed.
Will it stay out of any lights from your house if it's on the balcony?

Yeah It will not get any light in balcony except when I go to check I will use flash light. So we shouldn't check or disturb the plant in dark period??

Correct, light in the dark period can make female plants turn into hermies, probably more likely if it's a feminised plant too. Does that mean that your landrace plants sometimes see lights at night? That wouldn't be good for them..

They do look a lot healthier now though, what have you been feeding them? Just the kelp or some epsom salts too?

I would just pull the oldest leaves as they go yellow and get rid of the lower nodes that look like they're not going to grow any buds, so basically work your way up each branch from the main stem and pull anything that looks unhealthy or won't make a bud, and leave everything coming from that nice new growth with the green stems.

I could defoil this much the last row are the healthiest leaves I think which I cutted for light penitration the buds are growing from those leaves nodes. The first row rodes are those who will not see light And can I cut big fan leaf for the right side plant in its right side which is sticking out and blocking light

Yes always take the oldest ones because they're not as efficient as the new ones. I would take that big one but it won't make much difference.
Looks good.

That small branch will always be smaller than the rest no matter how much more light it gets, either pull it off now to redistribute the energy to the branches around it, or just leave it and let it be small. It won't matter either way.
I can't see the leaf hanging out of the pot but as a general rule I try not to take perfectly fresh and healthy leaves that are getting lots of light because they're helping the plant more than taking from it, but the older a leaf gets the less efficient it is at photosynthesis, and after a certain point it's a drain on the plant instead of helping it. So if the leaf outside the pot is still perfectly green I would leave it on the plant.
I would take all the lower yellow leaves even if they're not blocking anything. All those leaves are useless to the plant now anyway but they do still provide a hiding and breeding place for pests.

Yes it has seen light for few times just for few minutes when I went to check. Now am not disturbing them

Are they getting as much direct sun as possible?
How are the autos?
I had a look at Gelat. OG on the seedsman website and the reviews for it are amazing, I think I might have to try it myself!

My landraces are getting minimum 7 to 8 hours of direct sunlight remaining 3 hours indirect sunlight and it's getting nearly 12.30 hours of complete darkness
