First Timer - What am I doing? *Pics

[dukesdean]

I'm a TOTAL n00bie... Have whats looking like a female (as far as I can tell.)

6 weeks old, 11 inches tall. Lower leaves are yellow tipped, upper leaves look OK. Never "topped/trimmed" ... on it's eighth set of leaves. What now? Do I trigger "flowering"? Am I impatient? Am I doing something wrong / wasting my time?

Please have a peek and give a 'first-timer' some comment. Do things look alright at first glance? Any comments appreciated, be they brutally honest (negative) or positive... as long as they come from a bit of experience.

Total bargain-basement setup...
Soil: Miracle Grow Moisture Control
Seed: From an old bag o buds
Light: 150w flood (I know, I know)
Space: Attic, fan-cooled
(Amateur, all the way)

Fill your water can a day or 2 before using the water with a tiny pinch of baking soda, so that it goes stale fluoride and chlorine will mostly evaporate.
Add a teaspoon of molasses to a gallon of water, and use as fertilizer . you will also need a Hid lamp, Hps would be great. leaf feed using 7-10 drops of seaweed extact or fish emulsion per 16 ounce spay bottle, Spay when light turns on just enough to wet the plant once a day,for bugs and fungus,before the flowers come mix some neem oil 1 tbl spoon to 16 ounce spray bottle add a few drops of( NON) antibacterial dish soap shake while you spray. and stop spraying them when you see visual buds.Carefull not to get a drop on the bulbs if using any hID.If cant find neem oil, use 1 t spoon of sesame oil, and 1 t spoon of fish oil. I hope this helps, as soon as you can you need too find some better seeds or clones, the one you have will be good though not a waiste, but not the best for a starter gardener. Study this guide, and you will be on your way. Do use just water on them at least once a week.:smokin:
