hahaha dam. so this is what i got planned i change the pots, add a 50/50 perlite soil mix, add more light, add a small fan, water every 3 days, and keep light from hittin the roots. i should be good after that right?
dunno about watering every three days, that could be a little bit too rare - i do 2 times every 3 days, but with a bigger pot, so if I were you i wouldnt change the watering schedule. also if ur tryin to get rid of the time release nutes u have in there (which will fuck up any following nutes) then u should do a couple flushes before you transplant to the other soil.
Also the wattages on cfls are often misleading, whats important is to read the lumens (which i know nothing about) or the Kelvin - right now you should be using at least 5 6400/6500K cfls. this simulates the summer light spectrum the plant is used to. Your lights are probly the right type though i think, but it never hurts to double check the spectrum
peace, and good luck
