Take a trip to a garden store if ya can, they should have a wide variety of soils to choose from. Yes I would invest in a PH tester. I found that w/ Pro-Mix + my nutes my ph Stayed between 6.6-7.0. You will also find a wide variety of ferts and nutes, and should ya want to use the net to order I recommend TheBigTomatoe.com cheap and shipps fast.

put some lights around the side of the plant and not just on top, thats the beauty of a cfl grow. you can put the lights about 3 inches from the plants and be ok. how are your temps and what kind of ventilation do you have?
dude i know its tempting to cut them off but don't do it, i did that and learned my lesson. it puts alot of stress on the plant and it redirects energy from upward and outward growth to just trying to regror what you chopped.

Do not cut them, just neatly tie them down, or back. Do Not Cut Them. Your girls look great. Goodluck when ya go to flower. I'll be back to check in.

ok so her name is "Miss Pretty Lady". she started off in a peat pot with another plant. on a 18/6 light ratio after 3 days i moved her out in her own pot with about 6 inches diameter and 5 inches tall. she was in a small room only about 19 inches high with two 6500k 26w cfl's on her. she was in that room for 40 days then she was moved to a metal cab. where she is now. she went under a lot of heat stress so i HAD to cut her fan leaves. during this process she bushed out and grew beautifully. now shes growing off of 4 6500k and one 26w 2700k. it gets about to 85 degrees during the day and 55-60 degrees at night. there is a constant fan blowing when the light is on which the light ratio is still 18/6. today shes on day 62. i will flower as soon as i get the bulbs. thank you for you interest and enjoy.

Well being that your not flowering her yet, I would not worry about bushiness. She is going to stretch out and grow once you switch to 12/12 light cycle.
I had a similar problem w/ the light not being able to penetrate the lower half of my plant. My solution was to space my girls out as much as I could and jerry-rig a light bulb to the bottom of cab pointing up... doing this helped me tremendously.
Do not cut the fan leaves... your plant will need them.
