24 hours light, 3 200w CFLs, no nutes, I water every evening. Fox farm forest ocean soil and miracle grow seed starter soil 50/50 mix with a little extra pearlite for better drainage

Bam! looks good..that soil will feed for at least 6wks
You shouldn't water it everyday. It will without a doubt cause you problems down the road. Over/under watering is easily the cause of most of the problem people have growing. Water until all of the soil in the pot is moist, then leave it be. A plant that size in that size container would probably need to be watered twice a week or less depending on the environment. Looks good though

Is rhat pot too small?

Looks like a 2 gallon pot. How long you gonna veg? If you're gonna veg longer than 2/3 weeks more that pot will cause you trouble down the road. I get by with 3 gallon pots as long as I flip when the plants are about 16" tall with 2 toppings (4 main colas). This keeps them under about 40" and allows me to use the 3 gal pot to finish. All just my opinion...

I can never get "gnarly" colas!! Al I ever get is little basic buds. I don't use nutes is that the problem??

HUH? Yes, that's part of the problem. How long do you typically flower?

Need more info as far a what you are growing in.But chances are good your lighting is the limiting factor.Soil typically takes a much bigger pot than soiless mixes.Nvm missed the part about the MG soil.

Yes , yes and of course, yes!
It takes a very, very well made soil mix to grow mmj to maturity properly with only adding water, and never in a pot that small.
Get you a proven nutrient line, and try using it at half strength. General Organics is a good start.
Best of luck.

Any suggestions on nutes?

@HookahsGarden suggested General Organics. I like DynaGrow. I use DynaGrow VEG nute all the way thru to harvest. I supplement a little P and K in late flower and of course CAL/MAG all along the way.

My suggestion is to get a quality 1 part like jacks or dynagro foilage pro either way you wont have to feed them for several weeks.

@Resinhound comment got me thinking, when you said you don't use nutes....did you mean you haven't used any yet? Or you've been growing for a while and in general you never use them? Because Resin is right, you're in half ways decent soil so you wont need to feed for a few weeks.

You dont need the bloom just Fp start em out light and follow the dosages on the bottle.2.5 -3 ml a gallon is what you want to work up to.Its pretty potent,start them very light.Dyna gro is excellent imho
