Day 27:
Made a CFL rack for now to increase lights to the plants. Purchased 12 27w 6500K from Home Depot, wired together. Wrapped mylar emergency blanket around cardboard and placed on top to reflect light back down at plants. Doing this seems to have increased my ambient room temperature by approx. 10 degrees-going to have to improve ventilation. Sorry the pics kinda suck - my cellphone camera does not like all that light, lol.

Playin video games hehe...Rented Sacred 2. As for the girls, see for yourself! Picked up another fan as well - it's one of those tower oscillating fans, blows directly across the lights - seems to be helping keep the temp down. Ordering my HPS tomorrow! I am gonna stick with the fluorescent tubes for seedlings though, and CFL's for vegging. I like the results!
Day 32:
Plants are doing amazingly well. FIM was successful! Fed first nutes - Miracle Grow Organic, at half strength - as well as some molassas at 1 TBSP per gallon. I love growin these plants!

Day 36:
FIM done to plant number 2, as well as repotting - hoping the fresh soil will pick up the growth a little. Added fresh soil to the other two as well. Bought a 6" inline fan, 250cfm for room exhaust - will install tomorrow.
Burned a leaf today on plant 3 - they grew up to the lights during the course of the day.

Hey thanks!
Everything looks good since I woke up, except for plant #2 - it's definitely in shock, damn maybe I killed it - looks all wilted and limp.

I think it might make it, amazing little plants! The first two pics are what it looked like this morning - the last is what it looks like this evening.

Day 37:
The plant growth is really thickening now. All three are FIMmed and I believe the middle one will make it. Here are some new pics as of this morning, you can see a couple burnt spots on the two larger plants where they grew up to touch the light - coffee cup in the picture for size reference. This evening the two larger ones will get their second dose of nutes and molassas.

I count from the day I planted the seeds, as of today 40 days from seed. I'll probably put up more pics on Monday (they'll be 6 weeks).
Thanks!

Day 40:
I got lots of goodies for all my babies in the past two weeks, I'm so excited! Fans and ducting, glass and flanges for homemade air cooled hoods, most exciting of all though, I have two 400w HPS on the way, and my first good batch of seeds! I ordered 5 feminized Trainwreck, with a free California Hash thrown in, from The Attitude - yay! Picked up a handheld microscope from Radioshack this evening as well. While I cannot tell the sex of my plants yet, I'm stunned by how beautiful even the fan leaves look under the scope - like little diamond fields! Yet you can't see any of it with the naked eye...
My droopy baby seems to be coming out of shock now - very happy about that.
