Default First time CFL grow using Homebox™!! With pics!

This is me and my bf's first time growing. I had ONE bagseed that I decided to sprout and voila, a plant!

We started the germination January 21st so it has been growing for 11 weeks. Today is the 3rd week of flowering (20 days) so it vegged for 8 weeks, flower for 3 so far.

The grow started with 1 13 watt CFL when it was a seedling but we read freakin everything about growing it seems and now we've got a cool little setup going. It's in a Homebox grow tent with 3 42 watt CFLs, 3 23 watters, and 2 4ft 40w tubes. Hopefully when those stimulus checks go out (THANKS DUBBYAH!) we'll be getting a HPS.

We're using Miracle Grow potting soil along with MG nutes for vegging (24-8-16) (after reading these forums people advise against MG but we didnt have any problems). We topped the plant once. She's now 20" tall and 23" across.

For flowering we are using Schultz Bloom Plus (10-54-10) and are adding Molasses every 2 weeks.
Also, we have a simple bottle with yeast, sugar and water for C02. We had a tank with a regulator (see first pic) but our friend needed it back.

We're just so surprised we were lucky enough to have 1 seed germinated and even turned out to be female.

Here's some pics.
The first one was from 5 or 6 weeks into vegg.
The second pic is a pic of the Homebox setup
The following pics were taken today (3 weeks into flowering).

We'll be updating with pics so stick around
