Thank you @Psilmex
Day 5
All is doing well.
Gave her 2oz water.
I hope the way i watered in a circle around her not too close (you can see in the pic)will promote her roots to search out for water without making her too thirsty?
Temps staying between 77-84F with 30-40%rh
I think sometime between day 7-10 i will start givng her more water(4oz maybe?) and go longer between waterings(about 2 days?)
Just trying to make sure i dont under or over water and have a good wet/dry cycle going.

Day 7
Looking good to me.
Gave her about 3.5oz of water.
Will not water again until sunday night or monday morning. Or should i wait longer? I have been checking the top half inch to one inch of soil to make sure its dry. I need to get a feel for the weight of the container yet.
Here are some more pics and info on my box.
Some things are not pretty but it gets the job done..
I didnt take much time to do a proper photoshoot either lol..
All pictures are in a dark room with flash on.
Most pictures are sideways... I dont know how to fix this.
Any comments or advice are welcome.
I do what i can to improve within reason.
This is a top view looking down on the back side of the box.
I have 2 pc fans/exhaust blowing into my diy carbon filter.
I know its better to have the exhaust pulling through the filter but this is the way i have to do it with my setup because the way its setup, the filter would block the light if it were inside.
In the bottom is the intake/2 pc fans weaker than the exhaust blowing into the box.
This is what you see when you take the cover off the front of the box.
I cut out panda film and added a zipper in the middle to make it lightproof with the cover on because the cover is not a perfect seal.
And when you unzip it. About 20in from soil to light.
I super glued magnets to the top of the box to hang the light.
The white ductape over the magnets is so if the superglue starts to fail i can see the tape starting to sag.
This is a picture of the exhaust below the light.
Looking down from the light.
The intake/2pc fans and 3 pc fans for circulation.
Also i cut out some panda film and made a tray for easy clean up of dirt etc.
Let me know if there any questions, i may have missed something.
Also comments and advice much appreciated.
Sorry again for the sideways pictures.

About 5mins ago the fan in my led started making a loud buzzing noise so i turned the light off for about a min and turned it back on and everything is fine again.
Fan seems to be working in the led still.
Temps are 77F at this time and the led doesnt feel hot on the housing or anything so im wondering what caused it.

Day 14
Shes now about 4in tall and 5in across.
Started some LST, let me know how it looks like im doing with it.
Top view before lst
Side view before lst. Sorry about sideway pics let me know how to fix it if you know how.
Side view started lst.
A little nervous about bending her too much.
Will do more as the days go on. Tips welcome and appreciated.
Top view after lst
The led fan made some more abnormal noise again when i turned it back on after doing some lst, so i turned it off for a few mins and it didnt make noise when i turned it on again.
I took the light out and looked at it but i didnt take it apart yet.
My guess is maybe the bearing or whatever the fan spins on is binding up a little sometimes? Idk
If i want to put a better fan in do i just order one the same size or what? @mjau
Id rather not mess with it until i figure out getting another led to replace this one while i work on it if needed
