Hello and please take time to read all this info about my plant so you, pro growers, can give me some advices.

Pot size : about 1.5 KG.

Watering : Every 3-4 days ( when the soil is dry, I test it with my finger, " dry when finger clean " ) I use about 400ml of normal water for my 1.5 KG pot. ( 400ml / watering ).

Nutrients : Every 7 days, I use universal nutrient ( 7 in 1 ) fluid dissolved in water.

Soil type : special growing soil + perlite, soil details: organic matter 55 - 60 % moisture 65 - 75 % mineral salt 0.7 - 0.8 % mineral nitrogen 50 - 150mg / kg soluble potassium 100 - 150mg / kg

Light setup : 3 CFL ( economic ) Light bulbs, total real 113 Watts [ about 500 advertised Watts ].

Light system details : I used just 23 watt CFL bulb for 1 week after Sprouting, after 1 more week I added another 45 watt CFL bulb and finally after 3 weeks added another 45 watt CFL bulb, now I have 113 Watts.

Light program : 18/6 Lights ON. [ 18 Hours Lights ON / 6 Hours Lights OFF ]

Temperature : Constant 26-27 °C ( celsius degree ).

PH Tester : I don't have one at the moment. [ Very expensive in my country ]

Pot setup : The growing pot is inside a box that has some large air holes. ( no air fan at the moment just big holes so that air can go in and out ).

Indoor setup : The plant is in a room that has fresh air 1 time / day ( open windows ).

The pot : the pot has many drain holes in it as you can see in the pictures.

Plant : The plant is about 8 weeks old.

Transplanted : 2 weeks ago I've transplanted it to this 1.5 KG growing pot.

Overwater : My plant suffered about 4 shocks from overwater until I learned how to water it correctly.

Air fan : Installed an air fan [ fresh air cooling system ] that is working 3 - 4 hours / day when the temperature gets high.

My questions :

1. Should I use nutes more often ? Like 3 days ? Because I see my plant likes the fertilizer very much.

2. Is it ok to have that dead leafs at the bottom ?

3. Anything that could speed up my growing ?

Thank you very much and sorry my English !
 
1.Your mix has nutes in it, no need to add more for at least 2 months.
2.Leave the leaves till they fall off themselves.
3.More light
Bonus. Switch to a fabric/air pot(they are awesome) or put bigger holes in the bottom of pot
 
You defenitly want to add more light especially when you switch to 12 on 12 off , what soil and nutes are you using?
