lol im the same way man

light leakage is basically any unneccasary light reaching your plant it can turn ur girl to boy .
and nutes always remember less is more!!! u should go 1/4 at first see how ur girl takes it, then go 1/2 and if she still ok u can go about 3/4
what nute sets are u using

Ok im assuming your growing indoors right?
so let say u have it in a closet in ur bedroom
when your light cycle is off
try not to turn on any lights in ur bedroom
light rays can sneak into the door cracks and beam onto ur girl
which can lead to Dennis Rodman looking things which is a bad thing.

I Keep a towel under my door a friend says it help block the rays

What is your medium? It will govern how many times you feed her...just make sure your not too careful with feeding so to speak... nute burn is bad, but Deficiencies can be much worse during flower... Feed her as much as she can take, just keep an eye out for burn, and when you see it back off and keep the nutes as is... I use about 3x the specified amount of nutes per litre of solution, the amount of nutes will depend on how big your plants are, and how hungry they are... Hope this helps, and light leakage is a problem, rule of thumb is no more light in your grow area than that of the full moon, However pitch black dark periods may increase yield.... Happy growing

No timer? Dont flower man...unless you watch the clock 24/7 and sit next to your plants... if so get ready for the longest 9 weeks of your life

next time id do 1 plant in a pot three times the size you got now, and personally id put more medium in your pots, right to the rim, you will expect growth in height by about 2 thirds during the flower cycle so they will need lotsa root space... Looking healthy otherwise.
