1st/2nd Time Grower with pics

I guess I'll start with how I started. A few months ago i wanted to learn how to grow and i figured i would try out some bagseed i had. Anyways, for the first 2 months i stressed the HELL out of it(barely giving it light, and never on schedule; different watering times; it sat on my window sill for a week;i started out with about 10 but i ended up with 2, one ended up being a male.) Just to be clear this was my first time and i really just wanted to see how much this ''weed'' could handle. Anyways, i got my act together and you guys may say its not getting enough lights but for a 2 1/2 foot plant and 3 smaller plants, i think my 12 23watters + a t5 flourescent light should do ok. Anyways, that plant(her name is olivia) is flowering and it's looking good now, but my main problem are the 3 other plants. Now i started these 3 while Olivia had just started flowering so these plants were getting the t5 flourescent light 12/12 for about a week and a half(one plant (renee)is actually a week older than the other 2). they seem to love the light i'm giving them and they're now on a 20/4 schedule(olivia gets 12/12). anyways the new leaf growth is awesome, and theyre shooting up at a decent rate(of course i wish it would hurry) but i seem to have a few problems. on ONE plant(amanda) the first leaves that came out came in 3's, and then the next leaves came out in 3's also. quirky little amanda. anyways her leaves look GREAT and theyre bushy and full of life. my second and oldest of the three new plants is named renee. she's a week older than the other 2, and has more growth. here is where the problem is; she has new leaves all the time but the leaves are green and compact and droopy. also i swear it seems as if the leaves are too close together and barely have space to grow. my last plant is named jane. plane jane is growing at a decent rate, but while smaller than renee, she still has the same problem, although to a lesser extent. her leaves are droopy but are NOT NEARLY as compact and dry as renee. olivia(my big plant) drinks alot of water and i have to water her almost daily or else she droops ridiculously. my other 3 plants were being water fed every day also until 2 days ago when i stopped watering them after hearing about how you guys wait 2/3 days. anyways included are pics.

i think the leaf growt cud be to do with the strain. If yo got them from diff buds then they probs are diff strains. Everything else looks healthy apart form the droopage i guess.

well the OLDEST of the 3 plants is different from the other 2 small plants. AMANDA and JANE are the same strain and yet only JANE has droopy and dry new leaves. ALL of the plants had healthy and regular soft leaves before i switched them from t5(which by the way did GREAT for root growth) to bigger pots and with more cfls. anyways more replies! and heres another pic of each plant.

oh by the way the stems are doing pretty good. for ventilation i have a box fan going on low while the lights are on and ALL the stems are doing great, all 3 have even outgrown and shed their old stems. and by the way these are around 3-3 1/2 weeks old. when do you guys think i should flower? i'm thinking the end of this week, maybe the end of next week.
