Outdoor mixed seed grow (Bud pics 10-1)

So I got some various seeds I started this year. I actually started them indoors way back around mid-March, but they grew very slowly in there because I didn't have a proper set up at all. I transplanted from 6 packs to small pots and put them outside in May, using FFOF soil. This is them at the end of May.
Sometime shortly after this I topped 3 of them with the "FIM" technique. Then around mid-June I transplanted into the big pots they're in now, this time using Recipe 420 soil.
I have brewed tea for them on only 2 occasions, it consisted of worm castings, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, and bat guano. They have really taken off since getting the tea. In my opinion just those 2 feedings have done better than any nutrient line I have ever tried to use.
Other than that they only get water, de-chlorinated of course.
My biggest challenge is direct sunlight, the spot they are in only receives about 5-6 hours of it. Luckily direct sunlight in my area is pretty intense so they seem to do pretty well even on that limited amount. Day time temps are consistently above 90F, sometimes reaching up past 100F.
As far as the strains go, I could be completely wrong on all of them. I'm not even sure if the names used are all real strains, or if the seeds I used were cross-pollinated or not. So feel free to correct me.
I found this seed in a nug of what I remember being some kind of purple cross.
Supposedly Pineapple Express. I bought a clone of this stuff last year and found this seed in my end product.
Casey Jones. Also grew a clone of this last year and produced the seed. As you can see this one was not topped. It was stunted for a while and I almost threw it away but it has recovered very nicely since being transplanted and fed the tea.
Purple Bubble. Seed found in a nug, it was pretty decent stuff. This one was not topped.
Kings Kush. Seed I found in some very high quality buds from the club. I'm pretty excited about this strain, only problem right now is it's stretching a lot and the nodes are kind of far apart.
Tips and criticisms welcome!

Thanks folks.
Yesterday evening I decided to bend the top on the Casey Jones. It recovered very well over night.
Now the Purple Bubble is the only one that has not been topped or bent in any way. We shall see the difference each method makes at the end.

Nice healthy plants
I'm interested to see how the King's Kush turns out also, was planning on ordering some.
Looking forward to the updates.

Ok, it's getting late in the year so the plants are gonna start to get some space between the nodes in order to prep for budding which is gonna start in a few weeks. Indica strains that are ready at the end of Sept are gonna start any-day now.
Stop topping and stop bending that stuff should have been done in June and July. Top now and if the plants start to but they will just have the new spindly growth to bud on. You want strong thick branches to hold big buds.

Well it's been stretching for weeks, and it's the only one that did it. It got taller and taller while the others bushed up. From what I've read that seems to be normal of this strain though.
The topping was done months ago, I wouldn't do that now. As far as the bending, I only did that one small bend and it recovered so fast you wouldn't even know it happened. I did the same thing last year to my Casey Jones and got a nice plethora of top nugs. (not to sound like I'm ignoring your advice, I'm very happy to have you commenting in my thread!)
The purple cross is showing it's first sign of flowers, the rest should start soon!

Sorry I haven't been updating folks, just been working a lot. All the work hours also caused me to let a white fly problem get out of hand, so now I'm battling that. No biggie though, they ladies will be fine in no time.
They are all in flower now, which means I have to deal with the same problem I dealt with last year, the big ass light in the alley next to my fence. It's super high up and super bright, and it does shine on the plants. Last year I was out there every night putting a green tarp over the ladies to block the light, and then taking it down every single morning. It was such a pain in the ass, I don't know if I can handle doing that again.
Anyway, I'll take some pics and update on my day off.

Shoot it with a shotgun, thats what you have guns for... Maybe it should be a law that you can only own a gun to shoot out street lights that are fucking with your plants light cycle... joking
Hope you figure something out.

Haha. Sorry I'm not really a fan of guns.
I don't even know why this cat has a light there, it just invites the taggers to scribble all over his building.

Update, sorry for the shitty pictures...
Mystery purple cross in full flower.
Pineapple Express not too far behind.
Casey Jones just getting started.
Purple Bubble lookin like a super sexy christmas tree
Kings Kush Group shot.
My tea still consists of the same ingredients: Worm castings, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, and guano. Only difference now is I switched from a high N guano to a high P guano.
Also, I'm thinking I'm going to do a flush sometime here in the next couple days.
