Random seeds

First grow

Started with 4 female auto plants (bottom left) in a Wilma drip system under 40w LED grow light in coco coir in 11 litre pots and no nutrients used at first as was unsure which to get also just put seeds straight into pots without germinating. With little understanding and reading the wrong things I had them on a 12/12 light cycle. After 1 month not much growth had happened. After continued research I decided to transplant to smaller pots(cut in half 2 litre bottles with holes) also plants were getting stretchy so moved light closer. Still after a week or so only a little progress was made. After more continued research I decided the light was not powerful enough so purchased a 300w CFL. At this time I had been given 20 random seeds with unknown gender which I decided to germinate and put into half pint plastic cups with holes in bottom. Also purchased canna coco solution A + B. So I swapped lights and moved things around changed to a 18/6 light cycle and added nutrients to the water tank which holds roughly 16 litres. After a few weeks the 4 auto plants had grown a little and started to flower while the random seeds were starting to grow quite well. At this time I was running out of space so decided to transplant the 4 auto and 12 random into slightly bigger pots. I couldn’t decided which of the random plants to get rid of as they were random and unsure of gender so I went with the 12 best growing. I had 17 good random plants 12 of which stayed in the grow room and not wanting to throw away young plants put 5 in another small space with the 40w LED lamp and just left them on a 24/0 light cycle. These 5 are doing surprisingly well now, not growing as fast but looking well. Anyway back to the main grow. I’ve continued to water manually as only 4 drips and 16 pots. The grow continued to do well I think and a few weeks pass. The 4 auto plants seemed to stop flowering and started forming new leafs and not much flower while the 12 random continue to grow. I started to notice some plants with burnt tips and diagnosed myself that it may be Nute Burn so I emptied water tank a filled with fresh water and no nutrients to help flush them out a bit before adding any more nutrients.

Once I begin pre-flower stage and can identify genders the males will b removed. Any help would be great.
