Just a little update, the oscillating fan stopped working yesterday (fell over) so some of the tops got a little discoloured from heat (eg. pic no.8 ) cos I didnt get to check them 
Hoping they'll be fine. Starting to happen in there anyways, lots of fresh growth.

They're still looking a little sad after their extended tanning session, but they've perked up and bit and I think are looking ok. I moved some of them around a bit today, smallest ones to where the light is strongest. Made a load of little mistakes this grow, next one will be perfection in comparison but anyways on to the pics!

I haven't read through everything yet just wanted to add something. Mg seed starting soil. You do know that seed starting soil has no nutrients in it at all right? Some brands will put in a minute amount of nutes to help people out that leave their plants in it for too long but the whole idea of seed starting soil is to start seeds in. Just start. If you were to try to start seeds in some ocean forest he first roots likely wouldn't last a day out of their shell, burnt to a chrisp, pot is a little more rugged, but still somehtng to think about

Well the bag of soil begs to differ, says it contains NPK and micros, but MG for some reason in their infinite wisdom didnt think Magnesium was an important enough micro to include in it (sarc). And when people say "hot soil", they dont mean it burns the roots, they mean it nute burns the fuck outta the young plants, not that it literally burns the roots.
Cheers for the comment shrig, Ill keep the pics coming, only 4 weeks to go now so should start getting exciting.

Oh crap, i was worrying about fitting 5 plants under a 600w in a 1.8x1.8x2m grow tent but after seeing you grow 9 in 11lt pots in .8x.8x1.6m it makes me feel so much better now lol.
So i should be able to fir 10 plants in my grow tent easily right? Under a 600w HPS?

Next grow Im gonna keep it to 6, space is necessary for heaters, fans, etc. Stuff I hadnt considered before. Plus the 400w doesnt really give the coverage I wanted, to illuminate all the 9 plants equally it had to be like 16inches from the canopy at the center which is too much if you ask me!
EDIT: And the only reason Id do 6 is because I dont wanna veg 4 plants long enough to make up the difference.

Cant find my digital camera but all the buds have at least doubled in size since I last posted pics. I got a reflector going for the CFL which seems to be helping. Also one of the tops is a Polyploid bud, look up some pictures of that, dunno how I got it but its just a MASS of white pistils and leaflets and I cant wait till it swells up cos its gonna be some nugget! Ill keep looking for the camera to gets pics up soon.
