I am here and subd buddy............give us a little back ground of what you have going on here......size of room your are growing in......are cfls all the light you are using?......strains you have growing?......temps and relative humidity......type and strength of nutrients and additives being used.....etc
......this info will help me and others to help you with advice......from the pictures you have they look healthy.....so answer those questions and tell me what you want advice with.....then i will post on my journal any issues you have and we will get you answers from a couple different people and you can choose what fits you......Welcome to 420....a community of great people that are more than wiling to help a fellow cannabis grower grow the best buds possible

Are those holes drilled in the side of your tote that you are using as a grow container?

Yea looking good. Are you planning on keeping them on CFL or is this just for your clone time ? Like green dreamz says give us some more info and direction your headed. - then we can appropriately give you some advice, also we have many people specialized in certain things. Depending on ur questions depends on who we go out and try to recruit for some advice. It's a big a network in here and if some one doesn't know they usually know some one who does. Pics looks good.

Can you show me a picture of just the FIM'd plant?
Also, i would get a new container, without holes in it. Light leaks during dark periods will stress plants in flower and can cause them to turn hermaphroditic. Not a problem when they are in veg tho.
I also highly suggest to get yourself something thats taller, cause most cannabis strains stretch 2-4 times their size in flower.

Hello Bryan and welcome to the neighborhood! I don't know if you are intending to flower this plant out right away, but you might still consider giving it 2-3 weeks vegetative lighting (18on/6off) so the plant can stretch out a bit before being forced to flower in 12/12. By increasing veg time, you will thus increase your yield at harvest time. I'm not saying to veg forever, just at least the bare minimum.
If you do switch to a veg schedule, I suggest putting a bowl of water in there to add humidity to the air as it's winter now in the northern hemisphere (which I assume you are on), and winter months tend to be on the dry side. If you can get to a wall mart, they sell $3 temp gauges with a built in RH meter and that covers 2 sensor readings right there. If you want to splurge in that same store, they also usually carry electronic temp/humidity devices that measures at least temp in 2 locations and some models also measure humidity at those same 2 locations, (the model I have only reads temp in 2 locations and humidity in 1, but it's all good through.
I started in soil the same exact way you are now starting. In top soil from the yard (bad stuff) mixed with perlite and I later graduated to Ocean Forest soil by Foxfarm. Unfortunately mine turned out to be a male, but the experience has taught me a lot. My advice is to keep building your grow abilities by adding whatever you can to complement your growing environment as these things will likely come in handy for future grows because let's face it, who joins this site with the intent to grow just 1?
Not asking you to give us every detail in a single post, but please do make effort to give as much detail with every post and you can bring us to speed and we can better help a brother out!

I did not yet learn the 12/12 from seed as I always veg for training purposes, so I'll retract that comment. As soon as the plant digs into the flowering schedule, she will show her pretty hair at about the 2nd week. Humidity can be good and bad at different times of the plant's life. In my experience, it is always good until the colas really start packing on the weight, then the humidity causes molds to grow, and that gets even riskier in tightly packed spaces with many plants as the buds get pressed against others and hinders air flow.

A cannabis plant, usually speaking, and not talking about autoflowering Ruderalis, will not be sexually mature until its reached a certain time frame. Some strains are fast maturing strains, like my THC Bomb and Papaya, both have shown pistils within 30 days of germination. Some strains take longer to mature. Males usually take much longer to show sex than females too.
12/12 from the start wont prevent it from flowering, as many people do with sativas, but the plant might not be structurally stable enough to start packing on buds, hence why people veg for a minimum 2-4 weeks under a vegetative light cycle
