Ok so i finally grew some balls and decided to grow indoors. I bought 5 feminized nirvana white widow seeds and planted 4 of them.

Grow Specs:
4X40 watt fluorescent lights 1 day light/1 cool white on each fixture on for 18/6 hours
400watt HPS for flowering stage 12/12 hours
Pro-Mix orange bag (not sure the name of the pro-mix)
Miracle grow 20-20-20 fertilizer for veg stage
Miracle grow 19-30-19 fertilizer for flowering stage
4'x1.5'x5' grow space
2 fans
humidifier

On the 14th day i fertilized my plants with half strength fert and seemed to react nicely to it.

pictures are as followed

Here are my week 3 pictures, i plan on giving updates every week with pictures.

No problems so far, a very small amount of yellowing at bottom of two plants, nothing to worry about, temperature is still a little high in the upper 70's and lower 80s, and my humidity is at 55%

edit: Oh and my fertilizer for the flowering stage is actually Miracle-Gro Bloom Booster 15-30-15 not 19-30-19

So I am on day 35 now and no problems so far, i use 20-20-20 full str nutrients every 7 days and i am starting to water them every 2-3 days and my plants are loving it. I think im gunna let my plants go for another week in the veg stage and then force them into the flowering stage because of space availability. I will be using a 400 watt HPS with lots of air circulation. I am hoping that the squirrel cage fan i am buying to lower the temperature of the room so there will not be problems later down the road.

I topped my plants a little over a week ago and the new two colas are growing in nicely as the last two pictures can show

pictures are available

Ok so i bought a 400watt HPS/MH ballast and reflector and i put the plants into the 12/12 flower stage and its been 3 days so far, i can already see the two white hairs showing they are female. I just watered and fertilized them today with 1 gal of water each with my last time using 20-20-20 nutrients. one of the pictures shows the plants having light brown / yellowish spots and idk if it has something to do with the PH or if my light is too close.

The PH is 6.8-6.9 in soil. The light is 22 inches away from the canopy, and the temperature in there is between 77-80F during light hours.

If anyone knows please let me know

Day 10 of flowering and the bud sites are starting to show their white hairs at the tops and nodes. My camera sucks for close ups so until i find a better camera to borrow i cant take any close up pictures.

I also trimmed some leaves at the bottoms of the plants that wasn't getting any light. I still need to do some more trimming later

Here are the updated pictures
