Welcome:jointsmile: Looks good so far. :thumbsup: Ph should be between 6.3 and 6.8 in soil. More info here http://boards.cannabis.com/plant-problems/153522-soil-runoff-ph-flushing-correct-lockouts-why-how-do.html

Start nutes half strength at about 4-5 nodes, no earlier. This also depends on what kinds of soil you are using (Miracle Grow?). Best to use a potting soil that does not have nutrients in it already, so you don't have to guess when you need to start giving nutes.

For nutes I'd stick with a brand made for Cannabis. Fox Farm or Canna.

Transplant when the roots start to grow out of the bottom of the cup's drain holes. http://boards.cannabis.com/basic-growing/151941-importance-continuous-canopy-its-all-about-efficiency-baby.html

Temps should stay under 85F... Ideally 70's... Higher temps can slow down growth. What kind of ventilation you got?
