Looking good ManyClouds...keep doing ur thing, first starting off it's definitely a learning process lol. I started off using hydro and CFLs. Still doing the dro but I upgraded 2 months ago to HPS. As for your CFLs..Idk what ur $$ is like right now..but dude, if you could get to a Wally World or Lowes that has the 42 watt CFLs, get at least 2. I only say that because since ur in ur last couple of weeks, those two bulbs will help you out tremendously as u finish. I've used 13/23/26/42 watters and just the small difference btween the 26 and 42 is nite and day. Thats only if u got about 14-16$ to spare..they're cheap and will help u get more of a yield..and u can use em as side lighting when u get ur HPS.

That plants looks good no matter the set up but I saw earlier about a list of things/suggestions for ur re-vamped set up..I have a few ideas.

~400 watt HPS/MH Lamp + Heavy duty timer = $164.99

~Pending on ur hydro set up(I use rubbermaids/DWC set up) = $3-6

~Water Pump (Fish tank - Pond pump) = $5-100..or more (I use fish tank pumps from Wally World or any pet store..mad cheap!)

~Fish Tank Tubing = $1-10 pending on how much you need

~Fish Tank Airstones = $1-6 pending on the size..but these can be gotten from the same place as the pump..

~Net pots = $0.75-4 based on size of the pot, these have to be ordered online unless u have a hydro store in ur area

~Nutes = $$$ I just put the dollar signs cause prices vary based on ur needs..the brand..etc.

~pH Pen = I myself dont have one..I have a pH kit thing where u take water and put drops in to check, but I dont even use that lol Idk..never really had to and I can usually remedy most w/ water. But the kit was only a few dollars and too..types of it can be found where...oh yea..Wally World lol

So..right there I've gave u a decent list of stuff that's pretty much all u need to get going and it's all under $300. And here's a link to my old set up..https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/116704-my-cfl-grow-w-pics.html. All parts from Wally World and basic CFLs...I used to be able to pull close to a QP outta that thing..I miss her But enough about me rambling..ur clearly getting better and will continue to do so and if you have anymore ??s just hit me up..grow on brotha

Fungus gnats. You need to let your soil dry out more to prevent those. You can mix some neem in your water but may have to repeat for a couple weeks. If you're using Miracle Gro potting soil beware that tends to contribute to the problem.

wilting could be overwatering or underwatering whichever you are doing stop it haha
sounds like white flies?...ive seen em get REAL bad.. pretty sure they do feed off organic material in the soil. think i have seen people say they dont do much damage but either way i'd try to get rid of em first time i got em i used mosquito dunks...and they were gone in a day or two they have them at any garden/hardware store
also neem oil works bug sprays that are safe for fruits and there are a few othere remedys just look it up

She's officially halfway into Week 9, I recently learned that Sativas have growth spurts during its flowering cycle... Some days she sprouts new bud sites which pisses me off since they too have to mature. She is healthy though and 3-4 more weeks. Any good ways to cure??? I'm in no hurry I want to preserve that gooey skunk pussy smell she has right now.
