Think Different CFL Grow

Hello there,this is the first time posting on rollitup,and wanted to start off with a grow i have just started.
The story is:
Got my 3 feminized Think Different seeds from Dutch Passion a few days ago and wanted to start 1 of them to see how well it behaves.
I am growing under my kitchen table(dont laugh,i dont have the space) and i have 6 cfl's(3 2700k and 3 6400k) that total to about 150W and 1 pc fan.
The pot i'm growing in is 4L and the soil is some noname brand i got for 2$,and added some perlite to it.
The nutrients i'll be using are BioBizz BioGrow and BioBloom.Havent gotten them yet but they will probably arrive in a few days.
Right now in my "grow room" i have a Norther Lights which is in it's second week of flowering.
Along side what i have now i am going to get another 2 2700k cfl's.
The Northern Lights lady has box next to the grow are where she sits the 12 hours of darkness,so the Think Different can stay 24\7 under the lights,although 12 of those she will split the space with the NL.
I know its kinda weak but i didnt want to invest to much and see how much i could get out of these 2 babys.
Keep in mind although i have grown 10 NL outdoor last year and got a great crop(to bad i had a few males that polinated my girls),i have never grown indoor.
Also the days to come i will get a cheap PH meter.
So....
Lets get started.

The seeds arrived a few days ago and after about 24-30 hours using the paper towel method i planted my baby in its 4L pot.
1 day later it sprouted and this is where i started taking pics.(Sorry for the quality of the pictures,my phones camera is pure sht.).

Forgot to mention that the plant is under a 30W CFL for now untill her second leaves show,after that i will move her alongside my NL.

O yeah and a pic of my NL :P

Day 10 Think Different:::
Ok...i'm back with some new info and photos on this grow.
Got the nutes i ordered a few days ago and started giving bloom to my flowering NL.

I will start grow nutes on the next watering on my auto ThinkDifferent,but ofc i'll only give 1\4 the recomended dosage.
As soon as i get 3-4 nodes i will LST this mofo and try to get at least 10 colas.Probably gonna be another week or so till she gets that big.
Looking at the bottom of the pot i see roots comming out of the dranage holes.Can't believe she has such a deep root when she is so small;I feel girl is gonna explode once she gets a few more leaves and has the energy to really grow.

Also i have a question for you guys.
As you can see in my pics the pot the TD is in is orage collored so light can get in.Is that a problem?I heard roots and light dont mix in together.Is this gonna be a problem?Trying to educate myself as much as i can so i can do it better next time.Ofc once i see more roots i will probably paint the pot black or at least cover it up with some black paper.

As for the Northern Lights goes it's doing pretty well(14 day into flowering(started counting the moment i saw white hairs,not since i started 12\12)),i even had to defoliate a couple days ago cause of thick foliage that was covering my bud sites.I dont think she minded;didnt see a reaction except more hairs the next day.Guess not a stress factor after all.
Another thing i was wondering about is the fact that NL pot is kinda small(about 2.5L) and the ground has sinked in a bit,so i was thinking if it would be ok to put some soil on the bottom of the pot.Will this affect the plants budmaking force to grow more roots ar will it flourish and be extra good for her.As i said i want to just lift the whole plant with all its dirt and roots when the soil is dry and add more dirt on the bottom,then just sit it over the new dirt;so no disturbind the roots at all,just pick up,put dirt,sit it back down.What do you muchachos this? :P
Well hope you like my journal and i will add more pics as soon as i see some new growth.
...nJoy...
