First grow (CFL), lot's of questions :D

Ditch the miracle grow... otherwise, all looks good.
go to lowes and get their sta-green soil. cheaper and won't burn your plants. I used it for this years outdoor grow. had 3 plants in a 5 gallon bucket, all bag seeds and have not had ONE SINGLE PROBLEM besides a minor spider mite infestation.
i didn't use veg nutes as you plants won't need them and it's a waste of money. some old growers just use flower nutes ALL THE WAY through and have noticed bigger yields and less cost's overall leaving out veg nutes. Also, pick up some miracle gro tomato nutes. use 1/2 teaspoon (they have a measuring spoon in there) the first week then go up to 1 teaspoon. 2 teaspoons seem's to introduce a LITTLE bit of nute burn for me. 1 1/2 i was feeding every other week then switched to 1 teaspoon per week, mixed in a gallon of tap water (ph 8+ and water was left out for the little amount of chlorine to evaporate. Had great results on my first grow. you COULD get a nute solution stronger and if you do start at 1/4 strength the first 2 weeks then slowly bump it up while keeping an eye on the leaf tips for nute burn. If you need help feel free to message me. I hop on here and there when I am not working. good luck

Thanks bro I appreciate it, was really impressed with the tight growth as well.
That's the second seed, the first was is straight up a toy to play with haha. Was near molded if not molded and then I transferred to soil thinking there was NO way it would sprout and sure enough. My girlfriend only wanted me to have one plant max but I convinced her to let me keep it but just small and flowered in a red solo cup.
So below is what she looks like now, topped and everything in a red solo cup... also nute burned >.<. She's stretched because I had to keep her in the same box and she's a lot shorter then the other plant lol.

Love all the advice man was enjoyable reading advice/tips. Had a little issue with nute burn even at 1/4 recommended dosage but other then that all has been great. I'll defiantly send ya a message if I got any questions. Thanks for stopping by

Looking good! I agree that veg nutes are over-rated, however, I strongly recommend against ALL miracle-gro products. VERY easy to burn plants with, and even with proper flushing leaves an N taste in the finished product. I use FoxFarm BigBloom/TigerBloom combo, with a molasses mixture in weeks 5-8, and its been working great. The GH and GO boxes are an awesome value, and Ive seen great results using their products, too. Keep giving her plenty of love and she will reward you greatly. Good Luck!

Here's Chiclet day 21ish of flowering and looking great. Had a slight Thrip problem that I was able to catch EXTREMELY early and deal with organic insecticides, hopefully they stay away for good. Trichomes are starting to form extremely fast and seeing new bud growth everyday .
