First grow advice needed please

My wife got me some lemon trainwreck seeds last year for my fibromyalgia/insomnia and when I finally got around to germinate they were expired so decided to sprout all of them. I didn't think I'd have any luck with them, maybe get one or two going but now all six are looking good and I'm way out of my comfort zone.......I know I can handle one plant but six is way too many. This is my first grow and was planning on going slow and learning but kinda out of control now. So should I just let these go and concentrate on one, or just half ass all of them and see what happens? I wont kill them off and don't know anyone around that would want one so what do you think they would do if I just let them grow? I'm pretty sure I don't have enough lights for them and grow tent is 24"x50"x60". They are 3 weeks old now already pretty big, my nutrients will be here today and am planning on feeding all 6 every 3 days or so. Any advice would be very appreciated!
Thanks

In my limited experience you could flip em now to 12/12 and make a SOG! (Sea Of Green) Keep em short and as they flower all you will see is the green on the bottom of your tent! Once you flip to 12/12 they will stretch some for 7 to 9 days!

I guess seeing as you have em all might as well keep em and it will yield more than just one! Obviously! LOL

They look healthy!

Cheers

I agree with ktmac. Flower now and depending on how many CFLs you have consider upgrading to a 400W HID ballast, lamp and hood.

Also, one more thought and concern, You still have to sex them so until then you will not know how many plants you will ultimately end up with!

Cheers

Thanks for info all! I'm keeping an eye out for sex but don't see any signs of pistils yet, anything I should do?

You won't see signs of sex until you flip em...again after the 7-9 day stretch/transition...

I would flip em now.

Lot's of threads in here about sexing your plants!

Cool thanks again, lots o reading of do!

First, expiration dates on seed have to be pretty much ignored. Hell, I think viable seeds were found in the pyramids. Flip at 20". Sex and select 2 girls to finish with or even the one you hoped for. Odds are with you.

def need more light bro. I wouldn't put that many plants under a single 1000 watt...

Yep I know I messed up poppin all 6 but figured the expiration date was on there for a reason, im sure i'll make more mistakes as i go......this was a minor one. My blooming nutrients wont be here for another week so i'm gonna let them go 18/6 until they show up then switch to 12/12 and see what happens. Thanks again everyone i'll update when things get interesting!

Grow them all, with just one you Fuck it up and you get no second chance. With 6 its likely they are not all going to be fucked up if you mess up.

Switch them now...keep feeding them veg nutes through the week of stretch and transition...wait until you see your pistils/flowers developing before you feed your bloom nutes.

By then your bloom nutes will have arrived.

Then transition 50/50 veg/bloom the first time...even then go about 50% of the makers recommended mix...

Don't shock em or Nute burn em! Don't ask me how I know!

Cheers

I need to change cfl spectrum too right, take them to something like 3500 instead of 6500?

That I cannot answer...I veg under T5 and flower under 600w HPS

I know spectrum is important but I also know people have vegged and flowers under T5 only with good results...

I am sure someone will answer up on that one...could it be it is possible to flower under your CFL'S?

Cheers

Hope this isn't a dumb question but how do you clone a plant after you sex them? My understanding is that you can't clone after change from vegetation but I don't know if these will actually turn female......seeds say feminized on pack

Take clones now, root and flower them while the mother is still in veg. If the clones are female then the mother is female

Most excellent idea, thanks!

I would wait until you sex all 6 plants, to worry about cloning. You can always select the nicest one and put it under a table lamp if need be to keep it in vegetative state, that way you have an instant round 2 without cloning this early in your training. I do agree with flipping now, no matter what lights you have go 12/12 now. Start with bloom nutes when you get them in, let them dry out completly before watering/feeding again not every 3 days, learn to pick up the pots daily to feel for weight that will tell you when they are wet. Dryed out means dryed completly out, leaves almost dropping so hard they lay down, then water/feed in 2 or 3 rounds to hyrdated well, gets the roots the oxygen they need. More to come.

Is this a male or a herm? out of the six feminized seeds only one is truly female the rest look like this. Should I kill them off or is there a use for them?
