They are, boxes and books are underneath the pots to raise them to the level of the lights. As of right now there is 1 fan exhausting from the top, and 2 passive intakes on the bottom. More fans are in the mail.

we've got a thermometer in the box, temps are good and consistant, your plants look nice, an emergency blanket would help with lighting if u secure it to he walls similarly to our box, btw me and ping pong are roomates

Looking pretty good man. We have pretty much the same setup, and we're using pretty much the same methods. My grow is in my sig. I'm subscribed though, I enjoy comparing similar grows, especially when one's mine. Hah. Anyhow, things look good. Nice LST job.

Thanks bud, we are geminating 2 more bag seeds because the white widow didnt work out. They are either both durban poison, or 1 durban poison, 1 trainwreck.

Trainwreck is some wicked shit man. I've had some crazy nights with big sacks of that shit. Anyhow, hope the Widow works out good.

nice man, i hope to do something similar in time. any way here are some new shots of the plants. we struggled with our schedule and ended up having to leave the plants for 4 days last week without care. one died but the two that recovered after 10 days look to be healthy.
The tall plant 'Ruby' has female pre-flowers which makes me say wooh...
the smaller plants are durban and wreck but we're not sure which is which
We just topped ruby and the bushy plant was topped a week earlier.
they are staged so that the lights are perfectly set above the plants
the older plants are about 2 months from sprouting and the younger 2 are almost 2 weeks old.
What do u think?

Question, the bushier plant got topped down to form 4 main colas, it seems to be working but it got very stressed during the time of its cutting. would it be reasonable to drop the plant just a little further from the lights in order to provoke stretching in the canopy? i want to uncrowd the plant some.

Photo Update: June 1st
These photos are of Ruby our biggest plant. Since our last update we have installed an additional exhaust fan on the top, as well as AC in the room. That combined with bigger pots have led to a lot of recent growth.

Only advice is mount the lights sidways and you can get more light off of them
