Criticize my gro please

About now, the plant is about 7-8 weeks old. I used a 3 liter bottle of soda that has been duct taped to keep light out, and has 5 holes in the bottom, and about 5 wholes all around the sides towards the bottom.

Its still in my old hydro setup in the net, Its a good way to get a run off reading for PH level because the water drops to the bottom of the bucket :rasta:

Using this 3 liter bottle, The top of the soil seems dry 3 inches down already , and its only been 2 days since I fed it (did a flush with nutes to get runoff ph reading) Should I water it again? or wait an extra day?

Another thing, I been doing 18/6 light schedule from the begining, and last night took off the timer and plan on doing 24/0 . Is this okay or Is that a no no? I been reading through the forums and alot of mixed reviews.

is that fan blowing directly on the plant?

24/0 is fine, or 18/6 or 16/8. there is no definitive answer, sorry.

Yes, it is blowing straight to the plant, Will get an osculating one soon. What are the negatives of having the fan straight to the plant?

Ive read that a fan blowing directly on the plant could burn the leaves.

I think we have the same fan, the el' cheapo from walmart with just an on/off switch, right? I use mine to circulate four plants now. They're all under a foot tall and it works fine.

The fan does not have to blow directly on the plant as longs as it makes the plants wiggle just a bit. You only want the leaves to rustle around a bit and the plant should not be bending at the stem from the strain of the wind. Just a cool fresh breeze to help the plant grow a somewhat stronger stem is what you want.

Should I put holes in the bottom of the door ? or add another pc fan blowing air in?

Yea it's the cheap walmart fan. 3$ LOL

So I read it's OKAY to put the plant on 24/0 but is it OKAY if The plant is used to 18/6 and I changed it to 24/0 like at 8 weeks in veg?

It shouldnt hurt them. I noticed last night that my timer that was set to 18/6 had been bumped or something cause it was on 23/1 and i dont know how long it was like that. Three or four days prob, if not longer. It didnt hurt mine any. Adding more ventilation wont hurt anything but as long as ur temps stay under 100 at plant height u should be ok, under 85 is better though. LMAO the cheapo fan from walmart and pc fans are what im using. The cheapo n the box and one 80mm exhaust and one 80mm intake, ducted and filtered. The 4? duct is only 3mm biger than those pc fans so it zipties on nicely :thumbsup:

before you worry about intake do you have any exhaust?

Some folks told me to use 2 100Weq per plant
also, it is bad for the plant to get the fan directly as they said just to be able wiggle the leaves.
I see you got the same problem I had... it looks like the plant's leaves are bending, that could be overwatering or some pH problems.
also, it is not adviceble to transplant more than once or maybe twice =S
here are some pics of my failed attempt
