hey guys

just wanted your opinion on what you think of my first grow... this is a clone i got about 4 weeks ago and have been veging it in my box (24/0 under a 75w HPS light)

soil: floral premium soil all purpose (lime, peat moss, humus, and perlite)
nutrients: Ionic 3-1-5 grow solution
veg box temp: 72-78
humidity: 30-45%

i got the clone with just 2 sets of leaves on it which both has wierd yellow spots on it.. eventually cut them off and every new set after that seemed to look great! except for a little lighter discoloring specs on some of the leaves (lighter green mini spots, almost like scratches).. they havent been getting worse nor better but to me it seems to be fine, they perk up like torpedo tits after i feed them...

my schedule goes : nutes nutes, phwater, nutes nutes..im almost finished my flower box which will run a 400w hps light... just need to cut vent holes and cooltube holes and that baby is ready to get fired up... and i think my plant is getting too big for my veg box...

the pictures towards the end are the most recent (taken today right before feeding)... the first 2 feedings (only started giving it nutes 2 weeks after i got it, just watered it before that) i noticed the ph lvl of the runoff was a little low 5.5 ish ) so the last 3 feedings ive been giving it some ph up adjusted the lvl to 6.5 ish...

its been 2 hrs now since ive fed it nutes and its still lookin like its thirsty... i guess ill just sleep on it and hope that it perks up by the morning!any opinion helps!!!! thanks!

ps, you think its too big for the pot? i noticed i see root in some of the drainage hoes.. i know its getting almost too big for my veg box as the leaves are almost touching the walls..

Looking good man. Seem like you know what you're doing. If this is going to be your only plant for your first round I wold suggest putting it in a bigger pot. As of right now you are fine keeping it in that it honestly just depends how bi you wanna let it veg; if you have room in your flower room than get a bigger pot. It isn't absolutely necessary, but more room wouldn't hurt if you feel me :).

All in all looking phresh

i think the reason they dont look so perky is because i took the pics right before watering, they were a tiny bit droopy... woke up this morning and they were perky as fuck

not sure on ppm as i dont have a dipstick, im ghetto and using the measuring cups and teaspoons... when i give it nutes i usually put 5ml per gallon like the instructions say... dunno if thats right or wrong, or if i should be increasing the amount of nutes i put in the water every time i feed it??

also my flower box is almost complete... it would have been done tonight had i thought to check if the power supply i had for it was working... it was not.. and i also ran out of tape... and tested the cool tube with my veg box's power supply and i definitely need bigger fans for the tube... temperatures were hitting mid 90's in the box after only 15 minutes (damnn 400w heats up like crazy, also have no vent fans installed to the box yet)

point is i cant put the plant in a bigger pot because it doesnt fit in my veg box, its getting very hard to position the plant so that leaves dont touch the walls (at least 1 or 2 leaftips touch no matter what)... im trying to get this damn flower box up n going asap so i can just move it under the 400w, into a bigger pot, and give it tons more room... aiming to get this moved n box going by friday maybe sooner but doubt it (scrilllaaaa)... what do you guys think, is it cool if leafs feel like they might be in a moshpit for a few days?
