Poker2 - Grow Log (First Grow!)
I really hope you re potted while your lights were on? Also do not give water till your plant is dry. Period. Or you will activate the ferts in that soil and burn the shit out of your plant. Only give water and less is more!

At the same time you are sticking your finger down into the soil, you will think it need water, in less your finger is 12'' long. So you over water and over fert at the same time, not to mention that roots that are in water all the time get no air. Plus its a good way to get root rot.
No water today. I would wait till you pick up the pot and feel how heavy it is after you water. Then in 4 days pick up the pot, feel how heavy it is. Plants like to dry out at times, but your keeping your soil wet, could be the reason your plant is not growing like you think it should be. ex. Last year i was getting my seeds popped and ready for my outdoor go round. Well i didn't add perlite so when i transplanted them to bigger pots, i found they had their roots in mucky wet soil that would had killed them if i had not caught them in time. Lose the trays from under your pots man. If i can find the pic of what they looked like before i fixed them, il post it.
And reason i wrote so much is because thats what was needed. Found paint in the garage and a bigger pot, cool. Plus the hood you made looks ok, but if ya can, try and move it closer to the lights so it will reflect the light. And surround your plant with the painted card board to give more to your plant.
What did your roots look like, did they smell bad?
Il be back in a bit:rasta:
