Added nutes (Grow A+B, H2O2, Aquashield, B-52, Voodoo juice) all under 1/4 of the recommended power, PPM- 460, PH - 5.4.

#1 Was a bit overburned by the H2O2 solution but seems recovering now, pic 3 shows new growth in the area where the fimming was

Finally my inline speed controller arrived, now that its quiet I can turn it on 24/7. This plus adjusting my 2 inside fans stabilized the temp/humidity jump that the tent suffered from days ago.
#1 was fimmed early - Pics below.
NL #3 was replaced with a seedling I found growing in my soil. - Unknown strain.
So far so good. PH is stable around 6 and temps are 70-81 degrees.

NL #3 seem to given up but that alright, 4 plants in total is more than enough for my grow
