First timer - need suggestions

[imranmalik005]

This is my first ever crop on a very limited scale, 6 plants in 2 pots (3 each) by cloning (in fact i just cut the branches and planted in pots and now they are growing).
Growing inside where direct sunshine is available 5-7 hours a day. in my area it grows naturally and al;most every where, even in my drive way . but it may create a problem (i am not sure if it would).
These is being flowered even with a very small height.
Anybody please have a look on pictures attached and suggest anything

first and foremost, with as big of a pain as it is, you need to put those plants into separate pots before they get root bound and choke each other off from needed nutes. Secondly, flowering can occur in as little as 12" plants, so that isn't a problem but you may want to make a few quick trims in the beginning of flowering. Just cut back a few of your large fans to allow more light to the buds forming on the stems. Other than that, they look pretty good, maybe in need of a drink. It appears that they are in preflowering, so I would give them a shot of veg nutes to give them the nitrogen they will need to last through the flowering stage. Two weeks after, start the flowering fertilizers. In your last four days, starve it of water and light completely. You will want to leave them in a room all by themselves, with no light other than a green spectrum to look at them. In the starving process, the plant senses that winter is coming, and by cutting off water and light, it tries to preserve its buds as best as it can by pulling any usable thc out of the leaves and putting them into buds. After that, cure it and then dry it. You know what happens last, so have fun with it and good luck.

@sarahspelle: Thanks a lot for suggestions. but few things i need to ask, what if i dont separate them? i don't have more space and pots to accomodate them seperately. what should i do? what i would lack keeping them together?
i m not very well versed in gardening stuff so i do not understand ur term veg nutes (vegetable Nutrient? how to get these?)
how often i need to water them? daily? twice a day?
please help and thanks

If you choose to keep them in the same pots, you run the risk of one plant dominating the others and killing them by choking off their root system. If that doesn't happen, which is highly unlikely, and your plants do all grow, because of cramped quarters and the plants fighting to empty the soil of the same nutrients, you could end up with smaller than normal yields. Where with one plant growing separately, you can harvest one to multiple pounds (with excellent growing conditions), you may only get a fraction of a pound. Water them as they need it. Get a feel for your pot when its dry and when its wet, that way all you have to do is lift your pot to tell if it needs water. If that is not your game, stick your finger into the soil to the mid-knuckle. If your fingertip is dry, it needs water, if it is damp, it's your choice whether to water or not, but, if your finger is wet when you pull it out, it does not need water. Use fertilizers that are water soluble, for vegetation, I use a 30/10/10 mix, pumps them full of nitrogen which they need to grow.....in flowering I use a 15/30/15 fertilizer, which pulls back the amount of nitrogen given and boosts the phosphorus and potassium intake for the plant which helps in bud development. Make sure you don't lack on phosphorus during veg though, don't just try to use straight nitrogen as phosphorus will help your plant build an excellent root system. The best cheap fertilizer I have found for veg, is Miracle-gro Orchid food. As far as flowering, it is a standard all purpose plant fertilizer. These two will provide most of the nutrients needed for proper growth.
