That's looking better than last night, it's a good learning curve for you though you might not feel that way lol, the next time around you'll have a better idea of what to expect and can plan accordingly, a little hands on experience is worth a ton of reading, your doing well for your 1st grow well done!

What substrate are you using?

IMO it’s too much and too low now. When it spreads out it’s going to be a bitch to water. I tie my bottom tight and then slightly bend toward the outer edge. More of a smooth arc. You have a hard bend at soil height

I agree with this. Every couple days I tied the top of the plant to the frame of the tent so that it grows more circularly. Nothing too crazy and my lower branches are growing out towards the light. Right now its pretty close to full on bonsai. I'm also new but my plant didn't require any serious bending to accomplish the same task.

The amount of hand feeding I do doesn't warrant making anything automated, I keep a funnel pushed into 3ft of garden hose for any feeding that's awkward, it makes hand feeding easy on the back.

I have FFOF mixed with perlite, they haven't had any additional nutrition as of yet. Was thinking about giving them some FF grow big in the next watering.
I'm using mars hydro at 75 percent. I want to go ahead and turn the lights up, but wondering if I should wait until they start flowering??
