Slow growing, down side leafs dead, your opinins will help

Hello and please take time to read all this info about my plant so you, pro growers, can give me some advices.

Pot size : about 1.5 KG.

Watering : Every 3-4 days ( when the soil is dry, I test it with my finger, " dry when finger clean " ) I use about 400ml of normal water for my 1.5 KG pot. ( 400ml / watering ).

Nutrients : Every 7 days, I use universal nutrient ( 7 in 1 ) fluid dissolved in water.

Soil type : special growing soil + perlite, soil details: organic matter 55 - 60 % moisture 65 - 75 % mineral salt 0.7 - 0.8 % mineral nitrogen 50 - 150mg / kg soluble potassium 100 - 150mg / kg

Light setup : 3 CFL ( economic ) Light bulbs, total real 113 Watts [ about 500 advertised Watts ].

Light system details : I used just 23 watt CFL bulb for 1 week after Sprouting, after 1 more week I added another 45 watt CFL bulb and finally after 3 weeks added another 45 watt CFL bulb, now I have 113 Watts.

Light program : 18/6 Lights ON. [ 18 Hours Lights ON / 6 Hours Lights OFF ]

Temperature : Constant 26-27 °C ( celsius degree ).

PH Tester : I don't have one at the moment. [ Very expensive in my country ]

Pot setup : The growing pot is inside a box that has some large air holes. ( no air fan at the moment just big holes so that air can go in and out ).

Indoor setup : The plant is in a room that has fresh air 1 time / day ( open windows ).

The pot : the pot has many drain holes in it as you can see in the pictures.

Plant : The plant is about 8 weeks old.

Transplanted : 2 weeks ago I've transplanted it to this 1.5 KG growing pot.

Overwater : My plant suffered about 4 shocks from overwater until I learned how to water it correctly.

Air fan : Installed an air fan [ fresh air cooling system ] that is working 3 - 4 hours / day when the temperature gets high.

Here are some pictures :











My questions :

1. Should I use nutes more often ? Like 3 days ? Because I see my plant likes the fertilizer very much.

2. Is it ok to have that dead leafs at the bottom ?

3. Anything that could speed up my growing ?

Thank you very much and sorry my English !

Looks pretty healthy. Them lower, dying leaves looks like they maybe had excess nutrient solution/water puddled on um after feedings/waterings, or have sat on wet soil couple times. You can remove the yellowed ones. I wouldnt give nutes any stronger, its close to having too much nitrogen.
Looks good!

looks fine for 8 weeks,them small bottom leafs will die,id just clip them very bottom dammaged ones off so air can flow better

It's not bad but I'd flush to make sure, it's burn so that part won't return green no worries. If you plan on trans planting add dolomite lime to you soil 2-3teaspoons per gallon used. Since you don't have a ph tester the lime will help balance your out ph. Looks healthy though and add more lighting if u can. To help not run into problems feed when she tells ya, over nuteing can lock out nutrient balance. Wanna grow faster u need more light, low lighting will give u airy buds also

that plant should be WAYYYY larger for 8 weeks, should be 3-4 feet by now (or equivalent with lst, whatever). once it starts showing new growth I would switch to 12/12

He's using 3 cfl's so growth is slow, but the node spacing is tight which is good,

12/12 like 12 hours light on and 12 hours light off ?

yes, 12/12 is FLOWER mode, you have to turn it to that if you want buds. and there can be no light leaks.
