Yea I was on an evey other day water in the small cups now will probably go every couple days and I got some super cheap soil says its organic though .02/.02/.01 ....wholly ef im blowed anyways gonna run 5 55watters at 2700k above scrog 2 32watters at 2700k an 2 26 Watters at 6400k for side lighting during flower for veg I would like 3 more 35 Watters at 6400k so thats lighting as far as ppm gonna try my organic sugar/yeast co2 just because well... I think it will help 3 1lts should produce enough between them to produce a constant increase of at least 500ppm which hey every little helps also getting a 12" fan in there blowing up through plants through lights to exhaust up top right now ph is at 6 and plan to start adding nuits on day 14 plan on veging till they are approx 12" high after fiming a couple times then hope by that time I have the nuits to flower then set up the scrog but of course that's if any of these babies are females im hoping for two see what happens but I think im pretty set on this method for this grow

So going to 18/6 does it need to be pitch black for the six? Since I dont have my fan in my closet I like to keep the door open while im at work they have been on 24/7 but now gonna turn off the lights during the hottest part of the day should I close the door or keep it open so it stays cooler temp is 85f-90f with door closed 78-82 with it open

I don't worry about light leaks in my mom/veg room.
As long as the plant(s) get 18 hours of direct light they should stay in veg. I would only recommend 18/6d for plants that are to be flowered.

I only worry about light leaks during flower. Seems to me with your knowledge of growing other plants you will be fine. I never grew anything until last Aug., and I haven't lost a plant yet; just using tips from RIU and common sense. So I'm sure your grow will rock for ya!

Growth at nodes will be side branching.
