Stop trying to spend money/make money

Start learning how to grow

Get some sticky traps. Nats ain't that big a deal.

There is a subset of humans that are infected with this grow bug. Welcome. Your enthusiasm is contagious! I would do as @Lenin1917 says as far as nutrients/feeding. After setting up the tent stand in it with lights off and all equipment on. If you see light, TAPE!
I believe you have a reg seed. You can veg as long as you want.

Stay out of hydro/grow shops as much as possible. You can't buy a good grow.

You are getting good advice from @Markshomegrown as well.

You are participating in an ancient art. I am very happy for you.

You will grow lbs of great cannabis!:hump:

I would take some sharp scissors to the plastic water bottles once you see roots formed around the sides ids also try and block light to the root zone.. the bigger 5 gal bucket still needs 10 days at the least before you transplant otherwise your soil will seperate frome the root mass, make a mess and likely stunt your plant

Just seen the reply's, you want to soak the root mass as much as possible, turn the plant upside down, and gently go around the pot squeezing the sides in, use one hand to support the main stem between your fingers, the plant will slide out of the pot, may take a few minutes,

About the LED, 12" could have been too close to the canopy and 18" may be spot on, I was guessing because I have used the light before.
sorry about the late reply.

I topped the plant and the pots pretty heavy should I drill some holes for drainage or is it straight

You do need about 4x 10mm holes in the bottom or you could drown the root mass, the root mass needs to start drying out 30 minutes after watering the plants( the roots need air)

yes I would remove the 4 top large fan leaves, this will cause the canopy to bush out, you will have lots of top shoots in about a weeks time

25w ft2 is the lowest you want to go with a cheap led.

I managed to fill a 2x4 with a single plant at 11w/ft². Ended up with 4.5oz. I've plenty of mates with 40w/ft² that yielded less so I'd say a big part of it is environment, genetics and care as well.

It's actually crazy what cheap LEDs can do these days. Was completely unexpected.
