First attempt at a closet grow! 1600 W LED

Hey all! It's my first time growing 10 plants from seed to smoke. I have a little experience with growing. This last summer my buddy gave me 10 plants that he had grown outdoors. I had a Mars Hydro 1600 W LED panel just sitting in my garage and plenty of space. So I put them in a closet and grew them the rest of the way. Now I have taken some seeds I got from those to make my own garden! I wish I had started this post right when I popped them... But oh well. Next time! So they where cracked on October 10th in some pretty normal soil. I have had them on 16/8 for their entire lives. I started feeding them House and Garden Aqua Flakes A & B, Aurora's "Soul Grow", Magic Green (foliar spray) from H&G, Multi Zen from H&G and Algen Extract from H&G. If anyone wants the exact measures, lmk! 8 used normal WA state tap water ph down to 5.5 or 6.0. And I watered them about every 4 days. Had a small fly problem, so I fed them from the bottom for the last few weeks. Basically, I want input! I love learning and I would really like to hear what some of you with more experience than I have to say about my little setup. Thanks for all your time!

if you got seeds from the 10 plants then they're hermie's (hermaphrodite, male x female), only females produce 'bud', males make seeds and hermie's make seedy bud... ditch the males unless you want gender challenged plants as they pollinate the females and turn them male... which produces more seeds and more seedy bud lol

really? i thought males made pollen wich made seeded female buds of wich seeds would be M or F and hermies got seeds down low and some bud too.not challenging you im a noob and may be confused myself, now im curious

i'm still learning myself bro lol from what i understand males make pollen sac's which when burst they release the pollen, with air flow it can pollinate all your females, even a bit on your hand can pollinate a plant if you touch the bud this is why females make buds to ''catch'' (for lack of a better word) the pollen floating about. if you look at any seed bank online they don't sell males just feminized seeds (granted the pack can contain a male or 2 as its not guaranteed all females).
i think a true female has no seeds at all in its bud... i may be wrong lol someone more knowledgeable will pop up soon and clarify if im right or wrong ;)

Males don't make seeds. They make pollen balls. The female bud catches this pollen and makes the seeds. Male plants also don't turn females male when they pollenate them, the females just get seeded.

Males make pollen (plant sperm) it's drops pollen on to female or it some how makes it way on to the female causing the female to direct energy to producing seeds which brings your THC down.
Simply put.
A female can be stressed out and protect its species by developing male pollen sacs and pollinating it's self to keep from extinction.
