Avoid leaving the plant at the windows,
once the sun goes down as the temperature swings to much
include 2 more bulbs and ensure are cool white at 6500k
and the other 2 warm white or 2700k, for balanced growth

I agree with Dutch. Once you transplant bury the stem a little deeper. Also I've used a silica supplement that strengthens the stems and plant overall. It also makes it more resistant to disease , pests and drought.Dyna gro has a good silica supplement.

Not sure about the master pack. Haven't used it personally. The advice I was given when I first started growing was "keep it simple". All the starter packs have too many nutrients for me. I prefer a simple 2 or 3 bottle nutrient line up like Fox farm or general hydroponics. But you have it so don't waste it. Tell us how it works for you.

Shake the shit out of it. Don't break branches but shake it real good, when you stop the plant should look droopy and it will stand back up In several hours. You can also twist them with our thumb and fore finger. some people pinch the stems or bend them but I don't recommend it. You don't want to kink them off. You can also prune it real hard and let it grow back. Fans also help they get the branches moving thus strengthening.
