 RasJephs First (serious) Grow! Guilt Update with new pics (jewelers loupe)

So, I'm assuming a bunch of you know my story from the other threads you've been helping me in, but heres whats up for those of you who missed those 
Due to recent changes in my life, I have a newfound "fuck it" outlook. I used to have a handful of responsibilities and things I cared about too much to grow. Now its all gone, and I'm willing to risk going to prison (not that I want to, but now I'm the only person I'm responsible for, so I'm ready to go!)
Anyways. I plan on starting only a few seeds at a time - my lighting and space are limited for the time being (future grows might get my whole closet, but I wanna get some experience before I go nuts).
I've got some seeds coming in the mail from a generous donation  
I have purchased a bag of Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil, as well as the liquid Fox Farm soil nutrients trio. I'm also waiting on them to arrive.
I plan on vegging under CFL's until the plants are the size I like them, and then switching to my 150w HPS for flowering (prolly with a few CFLs on the sides.)
I'm going to start the seeds off in your common 16 oz party cup, and then move them to a slightly bigger container after two weeks, when I will be introducing them to the FF Ocean Forest soil. I'm not sure what I'll start them in...coir is all I have on hand, so if thats not a no-no, I'll do that.
Things I need to pickup (mostly a reminder for me)
1. Wall timer
2. Bigger pots
3. One more power strip
4. Perilite to mix with the soil
5. PH test strips
Anyway, I started my log today, because I began the first stages of getting it ready. I painted my cabinet (which I have been using for my cacti for the past few months).
I've gotta say - WOW! The white paint REALLY, REALLY made a difference! I can already tell its like 10x brighter in there!
BTW, in the middle, I have an option to have a shelf in there. I think I'll go with that until the plants are too tall :] Less light lost in a big area. Strangely enough, the middle section that you see (the bar that goes across) was already painted white...makes me wonder what grandpa used to use this for before he gave it to me  We'll never know.
Edit: Sorry for the cellphone quality...I'm charging my camera now. I always forget

Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

YOu can also try try a more simple LST.
Just pull it over from the bottom side, instead of a screen pushing it from the top.
This on was split at a few veg weeks, and I pulled this split-horn look at flower wk-1.
These Bk's are gonna bud nice!

Nice plant period. I did my LST a lot closer to the ground just cause I had no clue on how high it would want to get. But letting it get taller seems to have allowed you much easier clean up and training
These are two different plants but you can get the idea RasJeph.
 
training like this distributes the growth hormones so each side branch starts to go up instead and becomes a cola of it's own. today the small one has 3 spikes shooting up and many more on their way.

Its all here. Germing 5 seeds right now...hoping for 3. If I get all 5...I guess I could figure out something to do with them...I can't just off them
A few more changes to my cabinet today, and as soon as these seeds pop, its right into some coir!
Update when the seeds get outta the dirt :]
Edit: Pokemon curtains, penguin sheets...ugh. My girlfriend may have moved out, but her attempts to cute-sify my room didn't.

I got a burst of inspiration today, and converted my fucking closet lmfao.
My homie helped me make it...the bottom is my beer pong table, sawed off a little lol.
The bottles in the back are the quarts of FF nutes, for an idea of the size.
I started germing a few more seeds...since I expanded my space
I'll have to get some more lighting...but now I can cut some clones and have a mother too. I won't utilize this whole space at all...for now

An update, as promised. Again, sorry they were so slow. Also, important questions at the end!
First we have my favorite lady - Betsy. Shes one month old today, and one of the AK x D autoflowers. Shes getting pretty smelly, and still has a lot of time left 
Next up is Ivory, my second female AK x D. She showed her sex today, so I can guesstimate that she is about 16 days old (thats how old Betsy was when she first showed sex). Transplanted her this morning into a bigger pot.
Next up is Sandy, who is only 2 weeks old. She is a Troublemaker. Doing nicely...the last plant I didn't have in a bigger pot, so I moved her over this morning as well. Hoping shes a female so I can use her for clones.
Finally we have Robin...Robin is ONLY TWO WEEKS OLD (no shit!). She keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger I can't have her much bigger than this, so I decided to change her time to 12/12 now. I cut some clones that I'm hoping will work out, so when I find out if shes a female, I'll have some leftover to make a mother out of.
As you can see, Robin is a bit sick. I'm not too sure what this is, but I'm sure one of you guys will know what it is, and what to do. Thanks for any help you can offer.
One final question, perhaps the most important. I planted Robin in some very, very, very cheap soil. I "didn't want to waste" my FoxFarm...now I'm realizing that was fucking stupid, and I should just go for it and use it up - thats why I bought it.
Trouble is, shes in the biggest pot I have for her. I'm not sure exactly where her roots end...I can't just drop her into a bigger pot with FF in it...so, how do I get her out of this shitty soil, dump it, refill with FF and put her back without hurting her? She hasn't been in this new soil for more than like 4 days, thank god.
Is it possible?

Well, I feel really bad...because the donator of these seeds simply asked for a grow-log in return...which I have been neglecting 
I feel really bad...its just...ya know...
So, heres some zoomed in pics from my loupe. Apparently, the camera sees it differently than the eye...because I see it a lot more zoomed in 
Ah well. They still came out badass. These are from Ivory, who is 2 weeks behind Betsy...but she looks like she ended up aging faster.
So, from what you see there...would you call the trichs milky, or clear? I can see them closer, but I can't really tell. I assume I'll be able to tell milky from amber, which is what my main concern is anyway.
