Hey db
It's my first grow too (I also got the free blue hash seed but it didn't sprout, just as well, I wouldn't have had enough room).

I'm using 600w lamp with a dual spectrum bulb I got included with it.
I germed the cali on 13th June, transferred to a pot 3 days later, and it sprouted the next morning.
Started vegging ~24th July and vegged for a month.
She was about 15 inches when I started flowering, and she's grown an inch or two since then.
Had a bit of a problem with her being in too small a pot (wasn't expecting the extra seed) but I repotted last night and she's doing better
