I have these 3 random regular plants that are several months old.
How healthy or not do they look?

They're waiting to go in the grow room, but 1st soon ill be painting the room walls white. I'll plant them in 3 gallon pots when I put them in there to flower.

They have been getting 24 hrs of two regular led lights. As far as repotting them int bigger pots. should I put them on 1212 light cycle to sex them first since I don't know there's sex yet. Though I have a good feeling that they're gonna be female.

They look good for having been months in small containers. They are asking for a transplant though. I would suggest pruning the roots a little before transplanting they will thank you for it.

If the plants are several months old as you say then they should have sexed a long time ago. No need to change them to 12/12 to make them sex, plants show sex when they get to sexual maturity. Look at the preflowers in the nodes you should see it easily especially being rootbound.

If they're not root bound, due to low light and a slow growth stabilization (patience is a good thing), I would recommend giving a little more aeration to the soil mix. Better drainage. That is the first thing I would go after with resolving the yellow streaked plant in the far corner. Nutrient levels look ok, just moisture content over time, in relation to light.
I don't know the feed, but am assuming as complete as needed. I assume the wattage is also low enough the light could be closer to the canopy, or bring in some air movement and exchange.
Part of the reason I suggest more aeration, besides the fact it can never really be a detriment to the plant but more so "task time" for the grower (which is a debatable preference) is the internode branch and leaf size. They feel to be in a kind of "veg hibernation". There is a lot of purpose to that kind of hibernation, slowing plants, but you want vigorous growth for flowering.
Now you need to get them out. I would actually be worried the root zone would be a lot smaller than "popping out of the cup" where blocks of soil would crumble off on a transplant. This isn't always a death sentence. But that's where I suggest more aeration and drainage for a repot. Just be gentle with removal, and wait until things dry a little. You could be weighing the cups at this point.
Then get more light.

So another one turned out male so I only have 1 left that's on sex yet. When I see hairs im planting it in a huge pot of new happy frog mixed with lots of perlite.
Last time I had one plant that took forever to show sex so I don't want to call it too soon.

The AK has only grown a lttle bit bigger since last update. 😠 the soil is fox farm happy frog. So i thought i wouldnt have to feed a seedling. The two led lights are on 24/7. Though I'm hoping this one can grow big like the last one did. But also bigger buds too.

Should i give the AK Sseedling a light feeding of grow food or maybe a root stimulator. If so whats good brand?

Also the one female is doing ok. The flowers have started to grow.

Also i got several seed to sprout. Now i have to hope they all grow BIG AND HEALTHEY AND FEMALE.

So tbe AK47 is still growing ok. I do wish it was growing faster. It either needs more water or more food. And at the moment that's as much light as I can give it. Two led light bulbs.

The blooming lady is under high powered led lamps.
The seedlings have started to grow their seconed set of leafs.
The fem reggie looks frosty, so fingers crossed that she yields big fat frosty medical flowers. Ill start feeding some cal/mag on next major watering.

The AK has been tied down some. The plan is to let it get big n bushy first before going into the bloom room.
The seedlings are growing a bit slowly.

Update: the mystery plant is getting a little bit fatter everyday. The next bloom feeling might be uped a little along with a lil more cal mag.
The other plants left. 2 females and the last male got tossed out. One female got transplanted a few days ago into a 1.5 gallon pot and got femed and the other got done today. They are both definitely indica mystery strains. I'm hoping they turn out frosty and grow big fat flowers.
The AK47 is now growing big. And now is looking like It is possibly a female. I'm going to wait it out and be a hundred percent sure thats its a female or male before I cut it down. If its turns out female im gunna move it to the bloom room.
Also started some fesh uk cheese seeds. Hope they grow huge and yield nice frosty flowers. But that's a long always away from now.

Knock on wood but I feel like i'm getting my green thumb back in 2023. I've got more seeds than I know what to do with. So this year i'm gonna plant seed after seed after seed. When it comes to this plant I need to start being way more self sustaining.

The AK47 is now growing very big now. Finally.
And now is looking like It is (possibly) a female. Im not 100% sure yet. I'm going to wait it out and be a hundred percent sure thats its a male before I cut it down. If its turns out female im gunna move it to the bloom room. So I really hope it turns out female in the end.
