First time grow..HERE WE GO!

[Bird Gymnastics]

So now that I can legally do this I'm going to give it a shot. I have a cab that I put together with stuff laying around the house. It is only a 2' wide x 2' tall x 1' deep. I have 2 120mm computer fans for circulation (adding more shortly). 5 26w 6500k cfls and have been using a local organic soil (no added nutrients but 15% worm castings) + 20% perlite. Ive had one plant growing what seems to be okay since March 2nd. Ive been running the lights 18/6 with the room getting to 73 degrees with lights off and sometimes up to 85 degrees with lights on. The room isnt completely mylar since i wont be using this through out the whole grow. I will be posting pics here in a couple hours. But for now here are some of my baby a week ago. Thanks for stopping by and please shed any knowledge as help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks man. I was actually curious as to when would be a good time to transplant her to a bigger pot? She is 17 days old from sprouting.

hmm,i never went by days from sprouting for tranplanting usually i transplant when i see roots at the bottom of the pot/cup or when the plant has a thick enough stem.if u try to pull the plant out of the thing u have it potted in and the whole thing of dirt comes with it then ur ready to transplant,but dont pull to hard or u might jus tuproot the plant and kill it

Okay that is what I figured. Just double checking to make sure I dont screw anything up too bad on my first grow ha ha

Added extra fan for exhaust but now RH has dropped to 16%. Any ideas on how to increase that?? My temps are now running at 79 degrees with lights on and 71 with them off. Here are new pics of my baby. Let me know what you think. Now its time to go relax

So far so good...keep it up.

So I dont have any liquid nutrients, but would blood meal (12-0-0) work for some nutrients through veg? I also have some bat guano (9-2-1) that I could use. Any advice as to if these would be efficient?

Here is an update...I transplanted her yesterday into a new pot and she seems to be doing good. All the new leaves are looking a vibrant green color. I cut some bottom fan leaves off that seemed to be turning yellow. Since then, the plant seems to be growing new leaves inbetween where I cut. Should I cut all the leaves off that are turning yellow?? It is only the bottom leaves but after they grow a little yellow/brown on the edges it start to move up on the next biggest set of leaves. I hope this doesnt sound too confusing but here are some pictures.

So I went camping this last weekend and left my baby in her cab. When I got back yesterday night the lights were off... She is actually looking really strong but I have no idea how long she has been in dark so I guess I'm just gonna put her in flowering. I recently just bought Fox Farms Grow Big, Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom. Any tips on how soon I should start using? Also how good in the feeding guide Fox Farms gives you? Welp, here are some pics. Advice kindly welcomed ha ha
