Hello everyone!
I'm new to these fourms so correct me if there are problems with my post. I'm looking for a little advice on how I should continue caring for my plant. I suppose I give you the info on it so far.
I started from a single bagseed that came from some really good bud. I don't know if it makes any difference but I found two seeds in a 1/2oz. I germinated it for three days in a dark place, moist paper towel in a bowl with a lid. On October 20th I put the seed into soil. The soil is Miracle Grow Moisture Control its nute values are .21.07.14 and says it's to feed for up to three months (Which is why I grabbed it, stupidly) It contains little hard coated liquid filled balls about the size of a plastic airsoft bb which I'm guessing are the "time release" nutrients. I've read that this soil isn't the best and many people have problems with nute burn in the first two weeks that kills their seedlings but I've also seen threads where people have grown nice buds with the stuff. The plant has been on 24hours of two 2500k 28w daylight CFL bulbs since in soil. Its also getting good ventilation all day although I don't have any fans directly on it just one sucking air out the top of its 1.5'x1.5'x4' box. I've been watering it usually around two to three cups of arrowhead purified water at 1am every other day unless the soil feels moist an inch down in which case I've skipped that day. Temp has been around 85-88 in the day and around 75 at night. It's in its fifth week today and I'm starting to notice yellowing edges on the bottom leafs again. It's first jagged leafs also turned yellow a week or so back and when about 50% were yellow I clipped them. Is this yellowing of the lower leafs normal? if not what could be the problem?
Umm also I've been playing them 3-4 hours of classical music almost daily with ipod headphones if that helps 
Here are some pictures of "her" (knock on wood) progress attached if I got it right.
A few questions I have are since there are nutrients in the soil would it hurt to add any? I picked up some molasses for plants from my local hydroponics store. It says it has 3% soluble potash (K2O) on the back label. I am gonna try to ween it onto this. I don't have a ph meter or ppm. I just had some marine ph test tabs I used to tell that our tap water was way to high to use.
Lastly I was wondering if I were to switch to a 12/12 light period to sex the plant at it's current height would I be able to continue back to the 24hour of light after discovering its sex? Or would the bag on the lower branch method work better for me? also I've read that most plants double or even triple their size in growth in the flowering stage is this true? any ideas? thanks
