Questions about my plant

Hi. I'm a first time grower doing a closet grow with a single 4 foot plant in a 5 gallon pot filled with MG potting mix (yes, I know) 40 days into flower. For light I'm using a blackstar 100w UFO LED. My nutes are a 10-30-10 formula from a maker I can't remember and don't have the bag, and I feed every other watering or so. I water when the top soil is dry, about every 3-4 days.

The plant is a clone, and ever since I planted it in soil it's been growing weird. The first leaves from the new growth had only one leaf, and even some later shoots did the same thing. I even noticed one with only 4 leaves. Does this mean anything?

Also, a lot of the leaves are clawing, but aren't yellowing. A few of the smaller, less developed leaves are curving a little. Is this bad?

I don't have any pics yet, but I think she's also behind growth-wise. There's a decent amount of foliage and node spacing isn't far, but I don't have anything close the huge stacked leaves you see in other pictures that overlap to the point you can't even see through it. Also, maybe I haven't reached that point in flowering, but I have yet to have any real bud swelling. Though the white hairs are somewhat plentiful and concentrated. I suspect there's not enough light, and I have a 65w CFL to help supplement, but unfortunately can't use it.

Any help appreciated.

You don't have enough light, that's your problem right there. If you want to get a nice full plant, then you need better lighting. I would wait until you can get some money together and get an HID light. A 100w LED isn't going to cut the butter.

How big is the closet that you are growing in? A 150w HID will do more good than what you are using currently, so if you only plan on growing 1 plant at a time, then shoot for a 150w MH/HPS or a 250w MH/HPS. Here are a few that are relatively inexpensive: HTG. Good luck.
