I use a CFL to get them going..you can put a CFL within 2-3 " of a seedling top..same to keep soil warm before it pops..The plant can't see light until she breaks ground; then she goes hunting for light..I keep the light on for 24hrs a day until they surface..then 18/6..I also use a transparent...
Depends on your light..My led's are as follows..BTW..12/12 to the end..some reduce it further, but I keep them at 12/12!
From my LED Manufacturer:
Germination-------------24-30 inches
Vegetable -- --------18-24 inches
Flower------12-18 inches
Advised Lighting Time:
Vegetative Stage...
You can use any soil..not familiar with the flower soil you have though.
Soil usually BUFFERS PH, so you want a soil with a PH of around 6.5 if possible..
You should do some reading before you decide on nutrients talk to your grow shop..(Think Tomatoes when you talk with them)

Good..Get as COARSE Perlite as you can find, within reason..
I mix about 25% Perlite in with my FoxFarm Ocean Forest soil..Some use even more. It is important to mix it in thouroughly.
There are NO HOLES in a fabric pot..They are not needed! A fabric pot will simply let water run out from...
You're welcome!:Namaste:
Ventilation should allow an exchange of air in the grow area..I use an extraction fan to remove stale/humid air from my tent.Also a couple of small (6") fans blowing gently across the plants helps prevent certain pests and mold..Also makes the stems stronger (like a...

Man, that's a lot of questions..LOL
Flat white is a good choice..Mylar is better
Humidity can be controlled with a de-humidifier for high RH and a Humidifier for low RH
I like FoxFarm Ocean Forest soil myself; No need for compost with that!
Soil ph should be between 6.2-6.8..Change using...
GrandDaddyPurple is a VERY short and bushy plant:)
Not sure if I can mention seedbanks I use, because they are not forum sponsors..
Google GrandDaddyPurple seeds and they will show up..(I only buy Feminized myself)
If you wish, PM me and I will give you the few seedbank names I have been...
Nooooo
Soil grow water PH should be between 6.2-6.8!
You should maintain correct PH, since some nutes change it drastically.
BTW: Unless it the picture, your light is way to close....Maybe 18-24 inches is better at this stage..JMHO
Not so sure this has anything to do with scrogging in soil..(My soil = FFOF)
I scrogged, flushed with no issues and recently went to harvest..:)
My nutes are: Canna Terra Vegga, Canna Terra Flores, Molasses 10ml per gallon every other watering all the way thru harvest..and Ginormous bud...
If you look, I was first to answer OP's question and continued until you chimed in (More opinions are usually better)..I didn't want to see this degenerate into a mess, so for the OP's sake..SEEYA!:Namaste:
Different opinions are healthy I guess..I am quite surprised that you think that soil is ok!
Poor thing is badly nute burned and probably has damaged roots to boot!
IMHO, burn would have happened anyway due to the "food" in the soil, but probably less than after adding the Advanced to the self...
Yep..Bad SOIL..Look at the lower left side of the bag.."contains enough food for 3 months:(
Kinda like a Miracle Grow Knockoff..LOL
Up to you how many times you flush..it will be stressful for your plant, so maybe 1 flush to see how she fares.
Time will tell..these plants are pretty resilient...
