so far u have been given good advice above. i'll add my 1/2 penny . i was looking at the line up and the seeds of each then saw total amount of seeds 200 plus. i was like got damn sam you are trying no doubt. 
Now, said that to say this. next time don't start so many different strains at the same time. your asking for so much extra work and problems associated with those numbers that will quickly overwhelm you.
So, u should have figured out your exact goals before you popped them all but it's to late now. nevertheless you have to still figure out ur goals and do that immediately since lives plants don't wait. to that end light cycle shouldn't be more than 18/6 so that grow but not too fast like on 24-0. 18/6 also lets you sex in veg in approx 30-45 approx. now if you use shop lights/t5's you get to grow them well without making them go crazy with more potent HID/CMH/led lights. this allows you a bit more time to get your shit together planning wise for veg space and who will be flowered first.
as a persoanl example i have used 3 x 9w led's and one shoplight to do all my vegging. plants look good but they don't grow as fast which is what i needed for my situation. spectrum helps keep them shorter so keep that in mind.
planning is key and get used to doing that 1st. as your working norm. so no more do it and then ask all the questions. that's doing shit ass backwards as we used to say and it's never a good idea.
i was overwhelmed with approx 100 plants/slight;y more. 17-22 strains to include some males too. all cared for by me with no real help although it was supposed t be help. grrrr so u have like 30 strains and ur popping them to chuck = PITA if u are alone and even if you have help = PITA too.
so, u have already started. do u have enough space to keep all the clones of those seeds in veg to deal with later as you determine which females you will deal with. note: i always want to keep two clones of anything i feel is worthy for prevent defense/insurance = ideally you have two veg areas where u can keep clones separate. if u have both insurance clones in the same spot and shit happens u lose both most likely which defeats the purpose of having 2.
NOTE: u need to learn how to keep plants small = cups and make small mothers bonsai style. obviously saving space/time/$ etc.
1-3 dedicated flower room to make beans. rooms could be card board boxes/big trash cans/sectioned off areas in a bigger room as long as you can make it light tight. when u get to the point you have a male you want to hit various females u now have the ability yo use multiple males to test various females instead of just a one trick pony. like it was mentioned above = 1 male only might leave u unproductive and mad as fuk lol.
choosing males are based on various goals. as a chucker those goals should be simple and basic. for example you want the male to add structure/frost/potency/flavor/yield. I wouldn't try to go for more than those characteristics as a new chucker/breeder in the making.
the other idea about males which i rarely said before is this. try to find a transparent male = a male that barely changes anything about the mother and allows her characteristics to dominate/shine in the offspring. these type males are extremely valuable for obvious reasons spoke on above.
google and research what males usually offer in a breeding and choose based on those simple basics only.
don't put effort into making something that already exists unless you want it badly and don't have access . i would also say don't be so set on this or that strain and ficus more on what a train offers that you like. that way you open up options for yourself instead of making shit more difficult boxing yourself into a genetic corner with 1 to 1 type breeding's etc. = that shut down the genetics available to work with.
don't expect folks here or elsewhere to hold your hand and spoon feed you just because you ask nicely. you have to put in due effort/homework on your own. using advice from whomever as a guide post only. so many newbs in the past and in the future will ask questions that basically are in essence like this, but they don't say it flat out. can anyone tell me how to make an IBL/stable line, can you tell me how to breed so i can make my own company and be successful ... those questions rarely get the answers the OP is after and it should be common sense why they do not. FREE RIDES TO GLORY AREN'T SOMETHING MOST SERIOUS POT GROWERS WILL HELP YOU DO. enuff said.
because u already popped all those beans you put yourself under the gun frfr = u need to bust ass quickly and practically but that's almost impossible because of lack of knowledge on so many levels. so expect multiple fuck ups/dead plants etc. and know that it's going to help you in your quest down the road. like i used to tell my taijiquan students. mistakes/fuckups help you learn faster and build ur knowledge base.
accurate record keeping and notes is mandatory. also safe keeping that info is as well if you put it in 1 book on;y and loose the book then ur fucked so keep records accordingly. that could mean on a flash drive/cd/email etc. note = excelle/word spread sheet is cool to organize shit if u know how to do that.
If my mind was like before i'd might say more. I USUALLY DON'T even go to this level with newbies but in this case it's a new year. and if someone else asks i'll just direct them here cause don't like to repeat the same answers to the same questions = redundant = grrr lol
wish u all the best and i hope something i've written can work in your favor as intended.

Got some clones at some other spots and maybe will reveg a few keepers here at this spot.
