Hey man I'm on my first grow too and started in a 4 gal tote for 2 plants and the res full was 2gals. After 4 weeks of veg under 92w cfls I had nice little bushes. Check my threads. You'll pretty much see from start to where I'm at. I can't give much advise but one thing I'll never do again is put different strains in the same res. they deff battled for nutes and grew at different rates. Good luck homie it's so much fun watching these grow.
Ps deff go with at least a 400w hps for flower.
Also my pH never drifted + or - 10 at most 5.6-6.2 but it's good to let it drift a bit. If your not using calMag I suggest it. I wasn't at first and saw it come week 3
Hey man I appreciate the feedback!!

Update:: here's my plants after I just bent them over for the scrog. I've never done this before tell me what u think
First the grow looks great. The plants look healthy and I say just don't bf it to death and mess it up.

Second. I have education in electrical. It may just be me, but, when I see all them lights and adapters being used it just screams fire to me. Just a personal thing. I personally did CFLs my first grow and built a fixture to hold 4 of those ginormous 65(actual) watt CFL's, soldering and everything. It worked fantastic. But, been using LED since. May try a HPS someday, but since I only do one plant, seems overkill. My LED probably pulls 100-140 watts tops.

Just me, I would def go a different direction with those lights. Probably 99% safe and ok. That 1% is a mother fucker tho. Other wise your plants look great.

Peace and best of luck.
