How should I adjust the nutes? Surely going to that strength will be too much at this point? Should I keep doing as I am for now until they are little further along and then increase?

It all depends on what kind of nutes you intend to use. I wouldn't stick with the AG-supplied nutes. Find something in liquid form that's meant for flowering and start off with 1/4 of what they recommend on the label and then increase it by 1/4 every week.
I'm using GH flora series and following a schedule someone else put up. Just converting for my amount of water. I leave town on Wednesday so Tuesday i will change res. They will be about 10 days old. I will up the nutes a little bit
I do mostly DIY= cheap stuff from HD/Lowes + other stuff which must be gotten from hydro stores or on line
Before I could afford quality LEDs, I used a 4 bulb $20 vanity fixture + hooks to hang and LED spots (mixed CW + WW)
Spider Farmer appears to have the best inexpensive lights SF1000 is not much more than what I spent on the vanity/LED spots

I dunno why the other post messed up. Nice. Yeah I've found some good stuff at Home Depot. That's a good idea for the lights. I would do something similar to you just can't right now unfortunately. In the future I will definitely improve my set up. I think i will have the ability to go more all out outdoors this spring. I have a greenhouse and have a compost pile going to get ready
Does this look okay? The vein color is kind of worrying. Everything else seems great though

One leaf on the left seems too heavy to be held flat out as of this morning. Anything to worry about or will it correct itself?

It should be okay. You might want to get an oscillating fan on them lightly enough to make them kind of dance. The wind from the fan will help strengthen the main stem. If you don't have a fan, you can manually give the stems a couple of shakes a few times a day.

any light will work on babies that small. i agree with whoever said you cant flower with them lights. if you would like to try , then yes , start 12/12 right now. Everything i see , looks good. You can easily veg for a couple weeks in light like that ....you'll just need the intensity x10 for flower. (even 10 cfl's is better then 3) You can safely put 20 , 40w bulbs on a 6 strip and be fine. Any of them strips can handle 1500watts before getting hot and unsafe. Me not knowing how your shit is ran , i would keep under 1000 watts to be safe. Be creative .....build your own "domes" to put the bulbs in...ect.. Good luck !
I've got a small fan but not oscillating. So I run it for 20 minutes or so at a time and then give it a break. But definitely need one

Yeah I've been looking at bulbs to upgrade. I'll probably let it grow for like 2 weeks longer, do some lst and bring to flower. Got a space issue
First pic when I left Wednesday and second is today (Monday). I should probably do light stress training before the stem gets thicker right? Plus it'll get all the growth in the lights

Yeah definitely. You can use a small piece of scotch tape on one of the tips of your longer leaves and just tape it down to the side of your AG.

I wouldn't remove any of the foliage unless you really have to. The best thing to do is watch some youtube LST tutorials to find our what will work best with what you have. I suggested the tape method because I don't think that drilling holes in your AG would be a wise move.
