Same setup as my first grow, ended with me having to take an emergency trip and not having anyone to take care of the plants, except that this time I'll be sticking to one kush plant. Always open to suggestions. Yes, I know HPS would be better but unfortunately this is the space I have to work with.

15"D x 15"W x 30"H cabinet
5x 26w cfls
4x 4" exhaust fans
Fox farm nutes
Picked up the clone and planted it today

Current setup:

3 day update, about to start the LST soon. Should I wait a few more plain waterings before I start to introduce nutrients or should I start my next watering?

Its been 4 days now since I planted the clone. There are some canoe leaves and I'm not sure why. Over the 4 days the humidity and temperatures have been:
Temperatures: 75-82
Humidity: 35-46
I haven't watered the plant since I planted it, but plan to within the next couple of days, and might introduce Fox Farm grow big. I also bent the plant last night before I watered it to begin the LST. Here's some pics of the LST and the canoe leaves...
This is the bend last night:

Here's it almost 24 hours later:

Here's a shot of the leaves:

i say shes big enough ta handle nutes, just make sure ta introduce them slowly like half strength then 75% nd thn full. But nice healthy lookin plant man, you know the strain??

Plan to do 3/4 strength nutes for the first couple feedings. As far as the strain I know she's kush, long story short my local collective lost the tag with the name.

Thinking about picking up a second clone today. What do people think about adding a second plant with my current light setup? Would it be enough. I plan on switching to a larger cabinet come time to switch to flowering as well as a 90w let plus my cfls.

9 day update:
Temps and humidity have been averaging 80 degrees and 30 percent. I know the humidity is low but I have to use my fans in order to keep the temps down. I'll be adding a cup of water to help with the humidity. She's had 1 watering with nutes, not at full strength, and seemed to take it well. Continuing to LST her. Still curious about what people think about adding another clone under my current set up for 10-14 days until I get a bigger cap and a 150w HPS. Here are some pics of her.

13 day update: Watered her last night and she seemed to do well. Came home today and there were no more additional brown spots so I'm going to say it was the nutes too soon, too much, or both. She even seemed to grow, woo! Really need to start bending the top around the edge of the pot to prevent it from growing sideways.
Her she is as of today:

update:
Added 3 more cfls today, now I'm running 6x 26w 6500k and 2x 23 2700k for vegging. Also changed my grow setup. Still have to go buy a roll of reflective from the hydro store tomorrow to cover the walls. Thinking about taking the fan behind the plant now that I have a humidifier, and I feel like there's too much air moving with the humidifier plus the other fan. Any comments on this? Also now that I have a larger floor space, I'm almost positive about picking up another clone, as well as planting both in larger pots. However, I'm a bit concerned about transplanting a LST plant to a larger pot. I'm assuming this would be super stressful on the plant? Here some pictures of the new setup, as well as plant.

Just found this, greenmoney ... imo you are overfeeding. the leaves are dark green, sort of fleshy and curvy, and the tipa are starting to burn ... too much N. I really recommend just watering, no feeds or nutes, for a week or two. let her digest what's in her bulging belly ... cn

thanks for the feedback. I've stopped feeding nutes after the brown spots developed, and am now just feeding water. I was dealing with super low humidity and high temps for awhile until I switched to a larger cabinet and added a humidifier. I've also removed the other fan so now its just the humidifier in the lower section and an exhaust fan up top. Also added mylar to the walls today. Temps are around 80-83 and humidity is 54-56 now with my current setup.
