Ok so I'm new to the grow game and learning as I go. I started by doing the basics i.e. organic miracle grow potting mix, water, and aquarium grow bulb. I've refined as I've gone and now have my beauty under a 4900 K LED bulb 24 hrs a day and water once a day when the soil drys(seedling small 2" sprout). After my dog knocked the pot off my fence during a beautiful sunny day we were having, I did all I could to get it back into the pot and under some soil as soon as possible. The little lady(I can hope) has since managed to remain erect. Thinking it could help I sprayed a diluted organic miracle grow nutrient on the leaves. Sure enough it seems to have interfered with the resin glands, and I notice the large crystals that were coming out are now very small. Also, I think I may have given the plant a slight case of nutrient burn with the leaves turning away from their beautiful green towards a slight yellow. Realizing this is the perfect opportunity for me to restructure my setup now that I've learned a couple things, I ordered a hydro kit and flora series nutrients last night. CAN'T WAIT!!!! This is also where I need help. I want to start with just a simple setup, the old 5 gallon bucket design. My big question is should I go Ebb and Flow or what I thought was called "bubbleponics"? The Ebb and Flow everybody says is easier, but isn't there a system where the roots lay in a continuous bubbling nutrient system? This seems the easiest for me. Any tips y'all could give me before I start my setup would be much appreciated. Also, any insight on the bulb I'm using:

I thought the package I bought said 6200K daylight, but I suppose I was wrong. My plant doesn't seem to respond to this as well as one of the more simple/cheap twister fluorescent light, I believe was a 810 lumen, that was in it for a day. I know these are cheap bulbs, but I started this with the idea I could do it cheaply and practically. I'm looking at getting some LED grow panels right now, but in the mean time this is what I'm working with. What bulb type for screw in socket's is the most effective?
I'll try to get some pics of my little hobo setup on here.
