I replied to a similar post a few minutes ago. I'd encourage you to read that. Reply here or there if you have any questions. Others may have different advice.
Your plant looks good, especially for your first time. I see what looks like burnt tips. That could be the soil too hot. (Unless it's organic, I think it's more common to run with soils containing little nutrient and adding nutrients each watering.). The leaves look cupped. That could be heat stress. What kind of lighting do you use and how far do you keep it? (Sometimes I think mg def when I see leaves doing weird things.).

Lol thanks for the reply. Ya it's from the light, I went to work and had it really close. Got home seen it burnt. It's only 2 24 watt CFL. I have them an inch away.

Fox Farms Ocean Forest has a lot of nutrients in it. I also use this soil. For me, I find that I don't need to feed at all in the veg cycle. Just transplant on time. For flowering, many people will tell you many different things. Since it's your first time I would try something easy like fox farms, botanicare, General Hydroponics/Organics, the list goes on. My first time I used House & Garden, no complaints. Remember when feeding your plants, less can be more. Remember the instructions on the bottle are written by a sales team who want you to use the MOST you possibly can without killing your plants.
Good luck =)
