Hey jimmy looking good bud. You did do the topping correctly congrats.
You can put plants on the 12/12 flowering schedule as soon as they pop out of the ground, but they wont actually start to flower until they reach maturity which usually takes 2-4 weeks. Your plants can be flipped to 12/12 anytime you want. You should see some preflowers about 7-14 days after the flip. :goodjob:
 
Jimmy,
Get those plants under 18 on/6 off for vegging, plants need sleep time. Let those plants get almost root bound, then up can to the final pot (7 gal +) Give them a week or two to "hook up" with the new soil, then flip'em to 12/12. Sativa's can get tall as hell, hope your room has the headspace. Also remember that those plants continue to grow/stretch for the first 3-4 wks. of 12/12 (plan for 2-3 inches per week)
As Nic said, topping looks good. You can expect 3-4 tops from those. Keep it green Jimmy, looks like you have lots to play with.
 
Welcome to the club Jimmy, you found a good spot.

You mentioned that you had not sexed them yet .. look at some pix's of male and female plants and you'll clearly see that you got a female there. That V shape is female. Boys have balls.

But, yea, I agree. Let those girls sleep once in a while.

Also, suggest you research two methods of indoor grow.
Search the term "SCROG grow". This is my favorite.
Then search the term "Sea of Green grow" or "SOG".

The problem with indoor is that the light doesn't reach the bottom of the plant. The bottom half of a 5 foot indoor plant is basically wasted. I hate waste. Either of the two above greatly reduces that waste and makes your room much more efficient.

Check it out.
Keep growing.
