Hey girl! I believe you want an anchor at the bottom going the opposite way of where you're taking the top to hold it in place... I assume this is so it doesn't disturb the roots. Otherwise... looking good!

If you are going to feed them with the grow big and big bloom only use 1/4 strength to start out but wait till about Day 21 to start then increases with every other watering till at full strength!! I use FOX FARMS TRIO and it works great in Veg but the Tiger bloom never seen any results really but the Veg Neuts are on point. Hope that helps a little . Live-Love -Learn

Hey checking out your grow . Looking good.
Tip I find using fox farm it is better to let mix sit for bit before you ph . Then before you water make sure the Ph is stabilized . Fox farm tends to drop in ph so 6 is good by time it soaks in to medium it will be 5.8 or so
Another tip sense you are using LEDs . Did you every try using a heat mat under your pot . This keeps you soil at a better temp (25-27 c) to form bacteria which in turn will break down you nutes better so your plants will uptake it better. It also helps from ph flux .

Meg- did you just continue In the group flip?? Lol
Just had a chance to catch up here .
Your plants have sooooo many crystals I wouldn't change anything you did lol.
The big bloom has no nitrogen so you can use as much of that as you want the whole time from seed through flower and it won't burn anything .
Grow big is extremely strong and I use it maybe once every two weeks if I'm in a plain soil like pro mix , but the ocean forest or happy frog has enough nutes keep them happy in veg .
But seriously in the flip thread your girls look like snow covered mini xmas trees ! Keep on keeping on !!
