First time grower. Have a few questions and seek wisdom :)

Here is my story. Last year very spontaneously decided to try to grow weed on my terrace without knowing anything about the subject. So bought some Northern Lights Auto seeds. It was middle of the summer, only 7-8 hours of direct sunlight they become small and give some seeds. Around Christmas decided to try indoors so i bought 2x4 tent and MH TSL 2000 lights. For my first try my logic was to use the seeds from the summer plants like a tutorial grow. Anyway on 20 of December 8 plants sprouted everything looked normal. I killed 3 of em for suspicion they are male. So far its week 10 and they continue to grow and i dont know what to do… They have pistils and preflowers, one of em started to flower then decided to continue to grow again. I bend the tallest ones before few weeks.
I know the seeds are bad and may be the plants lost their auto gen so last week i put em in the dark for two days then switched to 12/12 (it was 18/6).Few days later I think i see more flowering but they continue to strech and strech and i am very confused… Some pictures:
This is last week before switching to 12/12:


This is today after 2 days dark and 2-3 days 12/12:



And here is that strange plant thats flowering and continue to grow:

So my questions . At this point its pretty sure they are not auto right ? Should I continue 12/12 or scrape everything and start again with good seeds and only 3 plants ?
Thank you in advance ! :slight_smile:

I would continue the 12/ 12 light schedule. Plants usually double in size once they start flowering and stretching. The best I can tell from the pictures they all look to be females.

The pistils you’re seeing are probably just showing maturity, typically called preflowers. Plants will usually continue to stretch through first 2 weeks or so of 12/12 then start showing buttons.
