Thanks!
I got her as a freebie, and I gotta say...horrible. Maybe its my (absense of) skills but out of all the girls its the strechy-est and has the least amount of leaf sets 
Is 80-83F good temps?

Day 30.
Switched to 18/6 lighting. Also checked the pH of the water that came out the bottom of the pot when I watered, 6-6.5 for all of them. New growth still has yellow tips.
Do i start feeding? Start using supplements?(i have liquid karma and cal-mag) If so should i start at half strength even though they are 30 days old?
Also, I'm thinking of transplanting them to 3gal pots tomorrow. Good idea? I'm still worried i might not have enough space later on.
I'm just really lost cause it's been a month, and i haven't added anything except water and liquid karma(once). I feel like i'm starving them but there are no deficiencies...yet. Am i being paranoid? I guess my question is, Do they look healthy for their age?
Also some rusty-yellow spots appeared on the tops of the afgan kush ryder auto, but that was yesterday and the newest leafs are fine. I'd like to know what it was though.
Oh and did i tie them down correctly?
Left to right, starting at the top: Violator Kush; the 2 Blueberry's; 2 Honey B; close-up of spots on the afgan k ryder; the auto's (la diva is the short one); Group shot.

if the leaf tips are yellow theyre good on nutes. i wouldnt feed them quite yet.
rusty yellow spots might be calcium or magnesium. so you might wanna hit it with some calmag.

You should have been using Liquid Karma from the get go. Start it out at 4mls per gallon and work your way up to ten over the next 3 waterings. I use it at a minimum of every other watering, if not every one.
The reason you're not having to use nutrients yet is because they're already present in the soil.
If you want to LST you need to keep tying it down. I'd also recommend topping the main growing shoot that you tied down as well. That will encourage the side branches to take over.

Yes you can start at any time. Just start at about 5 mls per gallon and slowly work your way up to 10mls per gallon.

Ok can someone please explain something to me? I didn't want to ask before because it's probably a stupid question but I can't stop thinking about it. If yellow tips are from the ferts in the soil, why did my plants start developing them After 2 weeks of growth? aren't young plants more sensitive? And shouldn't there be Less nutes in the soil later on, if anything?
I guess i'm missing something here, so if someone can educate me i'd really apreciate it.

Well there's more than one thing that can cause burnt tips. It can be over fert, it could be that your pH is off. Either way if your getting them I would flush with pH balanced water.

Thanks. Wow you're quick!

Well if you're transplanting then there's no need to flush.

Day 36 (5 weeks)
transplanted the 5 photo plants to 3 gal pots and gave a big watering (about a gallon each). I also re arranged the lights and added 2 more 23watt cfl's. Unfortunately, i had no gorilla tape left so i used electrical, and it fell on the biggest branch of the Violator Kush ;( Only a few leafs have burn spots but im guessing she's gonna recover for a while (especially since this was right after transplanting).
Should i swich to 12/12 immediately or wait untill they start growing vigorously again? It's already getting cramped, but on the other hand the 2 auto's will be done in a few weeks and it'll free up some space.

Give it a week to let the plants fill in the new dirt with roots. Then switch to 12/12.

An auto will flower under 24. That's why they're called auto-flower.
