look like you have your own little stealth grow there looking good, good luck with the grow 
Thanks for the tips and comments guys. I'll be out of school by the time flowering should start. Does is smell at all during veg?
I'm gonna head over to the chem building tomorrow and get litmus paper so I can get a pH on the soil and water. It should be like 6.5 ideally right?

to get rid of smell
put a Ccarbon filter inbetween your plant and extractor fan.
the easiest way to make some is goes to a fish shop and buy some of those carbon rock things you use in a fish tank
and spread them out over the lower half of a disposable dish cloth
fold the top half over and staple all the edges
you should be left with a bag made from dishcloth with carbon rocks
some one's posted that bit before... i just couldnt find it.

no problems mate....
i noticed those little whit spots in your soil.
if they're slow release fertilizers like osmocote then stop using them
you want some ORGANIC fertilizer that isn't slow release
because when you need to change fertilizing methods for different stages,
such as flowering or harvesting,
they will still be releasing random shit.

pretty good start, you have a better set up than most when they come on here. as someone said the lights chould be closer, you should keep cfls around 3 inches from plants, and you can go closer closer with good ventilation.
if you can get a little more room in there it may be a good idea to start one more plant so you have a better chance of getting a female. carefull with the dorm scene though. good luck with the grow.

and if you want some new soil id recommend fox farm ocean forrest, my plants are lovin it.

no don't change the soil. Thats either perlite he is referring to or time released nutes. As long as you water yoour plant properly these will not harm your plant at all.
When you tranplant at flowering stage then I would switch to a neutral medium and add nutes seperately.

Thanks guys. I moved the lights to about 2 inches. I water it about once every 2 days; whenever the soil starts to dry out. I only wanted one plant just to see if I could grow it. If its a male then thats okay, I am just trying to learn for now. This summer and next year I plan on growing a couple more plants once I get the basics down. Ha its better than paying for the stuff.
