Help My First Grow Ever

Week 1 7/15/20-7/21/20: Hey everybody! This is my first time growing. I’m a medical patient and recently moved and prices are way higher here. I’m growing in a super soil called Stonington blend from Coast of Maine. It’s made for cannabis and they say you don’t need to add any nutrients. I find that hard to believe but we will see. Seed sprouted after soaking in water for 12 hours then paper towel method then placed in Stonington blend soil as soon as popped. I placed a water bottle cut in half over seedlings and lightly spraying each day. I don't know what strains they are, I only use Indica Dominant strains so not sure. My Vegetation Light is a 3 piece reptile light that has 2 LED light bulbs and 1 Florescent. I also have a cheap red and blue plant growing light. I open the vents on bottom of tent and have a fan pulling air out from top.

Week 2 7/22/20-7/28/20: Lightly water when top inch of soil feels dry. Nothing else much.

Week 3 7/29/20-8/4/20: I will be buying supplies within a week. Please help me as I am learning everyday. Thanks and happy growing! I am leaning more towards organic but open. I am planing to Main-Lining the plant, when should I top?

Week 4 8/5/20-8/11/20: Day 22 8/5: Nothing much today. Day 23 8/6/20: Slowly watered until it runs out bottom. Seeing white hairs coming from Barrel (LEFT) Missy (RIGHT) is growing faster and thicker. Day 24 8/7/20: Played music. Spray tent every now and then. Day 25 8/8/20: Big day today. I put them both in new 3 Gallon fabric pots. Bought some nutrients. Liquid Squid Fertilizer from Coast Of Maine 2-3-0, I added 2 Tablespoons for 1 gallon of water and watered both after transplant. I also bought another nutrient Fish Bone Meal 5-13-0 Buds And Bloom from Coast Of Maine for later. Please and thank you for all the help! I feel they have been stressed enough for the day. Day 26 8/9/20: This morning they look great! No signs of stress or discolor or droopy or anything, Very happy for my first transplant.

It grew like a weed lol. Since I put the seed in water it has just been wanting to thrive! No issues growing this plant. Using the super soil made this just a water only with light nutrients.
