Update:

Well 3 of the plants are 6 days old ans 2 of them are 5 days old. They are bag seed of some good shit. i still have the possible male which was the 4th oldest in my other grow. i still also have the (hope its) female that i took that clone from. The clones didn't make it well the male did but not the unknown one. i threw the male clone away. The unknown one has quickly started new growth after that topping.
Glad to see you're up and running again there Mental, hoping the best for you this time around.

Then give it about half a week more, then throw it into bloom. You don't want a stressed out/healing plant to undergo more stress by throwing it into bloom, that makes more of a risk for a female to turn herm.

I'm with Doobieus there.
Wait until the tops are showing maturity before you switch. 7 fingered leaves would be the sign for me.

Awwww lol im dying it one has 3 fingers right now and they look very weird. lol its killing me i want to know what it is and i want some pot the last sack i had was shit it was all brown and looked like someone already half smoked the shit like they used a vaperizer. Tomorrow my dude told me he got some new shit in so hopefully it is the shit because that last one he bought from a new person, i would never buy from them again in fact i would leave a burning bag of dog shit not on their porch but in there room no no no in fact id put one on the porch and in their room AND the back porch. I take that back who knows it might not be dog shit in the bag.

You sure it's not moldy maybe? Hope you get a better bag, jeez dude. Still that doesn't sound very appealing, in the least.... gross lol.

If you're dying right now.... After harvest, drying and curing wait times are going to kill you lol.

Yea it wasn't moldy. Lol sorry i just go crazy when im very very irritated. Yea i know i would just give in and prolly sample a little but i been hearing around on here about fast bud dryers? How long would it take the bud to dry using one of those.

Hell if I know lol, I don't even think about drying or curing fast. That makes for crap product, period.

The reason for such a long dry and cure is because it allows the plant to burn off the rest of the junk as well as start maturing the terpines (Smell and taste) and start metabolizing the cannabinoids properly. Do you really want to waste all the time you've invested into your grow to go to waste at the last step? Just remind yourself of that and that herb is like a fine wine, too early and it won't have that taste/smell and potency that you want.

I know but i mean to cure and dry the little sample bud that i take off imma let the rest cure and dry properly. idk i might just go ahead and put that one in flowering now because im sure it is going to turn out to be male so idc atm im really pissed off and i need to do something before i go crazy on my girls dad. I got better stuff growing now then the plants i had before and that one i took that cut off so idk what imma do right now i just need something to blow off steam or some shit idk.

For sample purposes just take a small ass nug and let it dry out, should take like 2-4 days for a small bowl sized sample bud.

Go smoke some dude, sounds like you're havin' a rough one, hope things get better.

But nah im tired of her dads shit specially when he put my name in it nd specially what he said he is lucky im not like every other black or well since im mixed a black mixed person because i will tell you now we would not still be living in the same roof and to any black or mixed or white person that takes that into offense oh well it wasn't ment to be offensive and if you take it that way then that is your problem. Im just tired with this stuff shit, fucking goes on everyday but this time my name was in it.

You and your girl should move into your own place, save you some headaches you know?

I don't think it's based on race really, when people get pissed off, they get pissed off, regardless of ethnic background, especially when disrespected with a personal attack towards them.

Roll a doober, take a walk, smoke down, and come back and chill. Like I said dude, hope your day pans out better.

Mini update:

The plants are showing their second set of fan leaves well some of them not all. I replaced the surge protector with a longer one and added a 20w cfl in the case with the other 2 26w cfls. The plant i took the cutting from is growing taller from its one cola lol there basically was no point in cutting it lol because something had fell on one of the branches and cut it off (but that was like a couple of days after i cut it but yea now it basically is back to square one lol i mean with only 1 cola besides the 2 new ones that shot out at the buttom. Oh yea but back on track i think it is a female unless that is another ANOTHER branch that grows up from in between the.... well im sure you know what im talking about. i just been spraying water on the sproutlings so i wouldn't over water them and i want their roots to grow long and strong but it would help if someone new when i should start to water, water them but could someone help me on how much water i should give them at a time i already no not to over water them i mean i know to water them when the soil is bone dry lol.

I had put the one i was going to in flower in flower 2 days ago and then when it was time for lights on i look in there and then i see the lights had fallen on the plant. The night before when the lights were on i didnt put enough hot glue on the lights and well they fell and was on and basically cooked the middle of the plant. I cut off the bad burnt part and im trying to see if the bottom half will grow up and see if it will live on. ill post pictures tomorrow.
