First ever grow 400w veg/600w flower Blue Cheese!!!

Hello RIU community this is my first ever grow. I am growing a Blue Cheese plant that i got from a friend around the age of 2.5 weeks. i lst'ed her right away and put her under my 150w hps set to the gas lantern routine left her under that for 2 weeks. Then make the leap to buy a 600w dimmable ballast that i set to 400w for veg and turn it up to 600w for flower. Using botanicare pure blend pro grow formula in distilled water with CalMag+ in organic soil with a 6in inline fan for exhaust, dual 7in fan for intake and a 12in oscillating fan between the light and plant for heat control and to make my little girl strong and healthy.

When i first got her(Before and After Lst'ing)


1 week After switch to 400w for veg


now

nice looking plant....great job!

Thank you widowmaker31, she is growing so fast that every time I look in I'm always amazed by her. Also I'm wondering if its OK to leave the lower leafs that are below the canopy or should they be cut?
