150w 2.5'x1.5'x1.5' mini cab-grow - 1st time

hey man looking great!!!loving the cabinet and the LST, im doing the exactly same thing with a 250w cfl and im probly two about 2 weeks behind you. check it out in my sig and give me your feedback. cheers DW

I think the deformities are from when I "topped/FIM'd" them - I may not have done this properly, and so the part I clipped is growing back awkwardly. I will raise the lights though since the leaves have seemed rather dry to the touch... The soil I'm using is what I had on hand: it's .07/.01/.03 NPK, mixed in as 30% perlite/30% vermiculite/40% soil.

I am concerned about the nute burn I was experiencing earlier, but number 1 has yellow leaves now without the banding, so I think it is experiencing a lack of nutrients (due to its age). I will introduce a small amount of nutrients in the next watering, and for now I am foliar-feeding trace amounts so that it doesn't suffer.
