Stage one is 1/2 tps a gallon, stage two is 2/3 tsp, stage three is 1 tsp, the booster is 1/5 tsp
I’m not really familiar with high or low fertilizer rates but I think it’s a fairly small amount

This is the beginning signs of a male?
Different plant
I’m still not seeing much happening gender wise, those are the only two plants I noticed had anything different. I want to figure out the males asap so I can get rid of them to have more space to use bigger pots
At which point do I flip them to 12/12? Do I wait until I’m seeing presex? Whatever I want?

2 weeks
It can take up to 2 weeks to sex the plants when you change the light to 12/12. The plant shows is sex as part of the preflowering process. To reach this process you’ll need to switch to 12/12.
I usually see sex around 9-10 days after flip 12/12 Your doing great keep chuggin along and asking questions you will harvest Kind in no time. 
Peace.

I have them tied, probably like 6" tall without the tie. I’ve heard they can double in size when switched, that’d leave them still relatively small
My last question is pruning. Since tying them down I’m getting a lot more growth underneath. Do I cut the big fan leaves or anything that’s blocking light? Can I over prune? Can it only be done at certain times? I’ve been picking off the bigger fan leaves here an there to allow the small leaves to get light

I wouldn’t prune until after you sex. Others might have different advice and I prune a little here and little there to minimize shocking the plant . Your doing fine “keep it simple” try not to over think it. I have a hard time with not over thinking it and obsessing on my plants. I only checked on mine 5 times today. lol
those are decent size plants cuz their tied down. I bet you will be surprised at their size after flowering
picking off fan leaves any time is fine.

Those big leaves are really important for them when their small, they make the energy for those little shoots to grow, so let them gain some volume before considering defoliation.
Are you monitoring your ph in any way? Just curious because I grew out there over the hill from where your at and the tap water ph’d at over 9 I think it was… 
oh, and probably cut the nutes in half on the first go with them to see how the plants react to it.

@ColeLennon I added a camera into my tent so I would stop opening it so often 
@buckaroobonsai the only thing I have to measure ph is a combination meter thay doesn’t measure very well. It measures ph/light/moisture, it read the ph at 7 1/2 to 8

I thought we should discuss ph, I didn’t see it touched on yet. We’re gonna head this one off at the pass.

I watered a small amount of lime powder into the soil a couple weeks ago. I didn’t find info on how much to mix in an how often. Is watering it in or a foliar feed the best. Option

how much soil in those pots rough estimate?

I scratch it into the top surface of the soil. I use 1 TBS per gallon of soil.
get a simple PH tester and test your Ph on your tap water. If your tap is to high use some PH down solution to bring it down to 6.5 -7 sorry right after I told you to keep it simple lol

@buckaroobonsai Yes I do, I normally use a gallon of water that has been sitting out to remove the chlorine, I don’t know it works for fish so I’d thought I do it 🤷 the outside plants ive been using the hose
@ColeLennon I’m not sure about the Folgers coffee containers, other pots are about 5 gal. I will flip them this weekend, I’m excited to see bud start growing
