Day 14 update: looking really great! I forgot how fast they grow after the first 10 days. Spilled an extra 1.5oz or so of water so will let it dry for the next two days or so if the soil is still wet. Thanks for viewing!

Update and two quick questions! She's looking pretty established now. I'm wondering if I should veg with the 2x 105w cfl or switch to my t600 mars hydro. Also, any good recommendations on a grow tent/grow kit? I don't need one with a light, but am flexible, and can always use one more. Thanks for viewing!

Day 18(?) update! Started showing sex yesterday, and has been off to the races since the 14th. Trying to sort out a few things.

1) Is she ready for lst? I seem to remember waiting to lst until the plant could be bent down, and reach the edge of the grow bucket

2) When should I start adding 2700k cfls? I'm going to run 200w altogether at a mix of 2/3 2700k and 1/3 5000k, as I have a few dozen of the 23w 2700k and 5000k, as well as two 105w 5000k.

3) Should I start adding grow big @1/4 strength next week when I up my watering?

Thanks again, as always

Day 24! Yesterday I gave her round one of grow big at 1/4 strength and 8oz water. Shes very happy with it.. I made a gallon ahead of time, and will feed again in 3 or so days when she's thirsty. Still having issues with yellow leaf tips, but I'm hoping the nutes help. I should have my ph pen here this week. Setting up my tent for whenever my beans and lights get here, can't wait! Anywho, thanks for viewing.

Update day 33 (math sucks): stunted (?) for a week 5 plant due to presumed nute lock via ph swing. I was away from home and couldn't flush until today, which I plan to do asap.
Soil ph is registering around 7.5-8 while my water is a solid 7. Haven't tested run off as I have been away, and am still new to flushing and reading run off. I'm using a flat 7 ph buffer, but going to buy some ph up/down at the hydro store today and aim for 6.5. Also picking up a ec/tds meter to check run off ppm. Yellowing on tips appears to have stopped, but big original fan leaves are looking rough as ever (natural die off or lock out?) Here are some pics, and I have changed from cfl to a mars t600 I decided to keep for this first try. Thanks for viewing, any tips on flushing or anything appreciated, though I get the gist of it

Ph pen I bought isn't here yet so I used a multi meter just to point me in the right direction, should've stated that before. Pretty sure this thing sucks meh
