Help With My First Time Closet Grow??

I'm on day 5 with my grow and i'm looking for some help with:
when to water my clone?
how much to water?
when to start feeding it nutrients?
what nutrients will i need?
don't currently have a fan, will i need one?
currently using a Ecosmart 120 watt Daylight CFL bulb.
using foxfarms soil, light is 18 inches above plant.
light is on 18/6.

Any suggestions please??062811214720.jpg062811214748.jpg062811214615.jpg
 
Let it dry all the way out, lift it, and remember how that feels. Thats the easiest way to tell if it needs watering. If you can get a similar sized pot, fill it full of fox farm and feel how heavy it is compared to the plant.

water it till water comes out the bottom. If you don't have a hole, drill one.

Nutes start at 2 weeks in 1/2 strength of what they tell you for 2 weeks. then gradually up the strength

Yes you need an oscillating fan to strengthen the stems. This can be a cheap one however

Bring the light down to 2 inches above the plant. It looks like your having some issues possibly with heat though. Unless that burn mark is from nutrients
 
Thanks man the helps really appreciated,
besides all that does the plant look like its in koo condition?

and so after i dry it all the way out, just pour water till it comes out the bottom?
 
get it closer to the light, to be honest plant looks kind of shitty, will need alot more light when it gets bigger my plant got droopy when i didnt water it, its fine now, they still dont like that much water
 
Ocean forest has nutes in it. 3 or 5 gallon pots will hold you over for a month with no added nutes. I know it's counter-intuitive, but don't overcomplicate your first grow by following what an expert does, keep it as simple as you can. Ocean forest, distilled water, and some lime or cal-max will get you through veg without dead fanleaves. In my experience, this is far better than feeding your plant some cheap powdered tomato nutes and throwing your ph out of whack.

For first-time growers, I'd recommend a cannabis-specific nutrient line. Yes they're expensive and yes you can get the same results by mixing your own, but rare is the noob who doesn't lock out nutrients with too much of one thing over another. I've found that I don't have the time or skills to go cowboy with my nutrients, so I stick with what works.
 
I usually mist my plants on the days I don't water, just make sure they don't collect large water droplets.. i've had them cause a magnify effect from my light and burn my leaves.
