its going well. they dont seem to be getting any fatter at the minute. quite slow progress. ive had a bit of a camera issue i have taken a couple but nothing decent. the buds have a nice fruity smell going on. ive also changed my mind on the hps. its gonna cost far too much too run to be justifiable. its doubling my energy usage just for one grow light. its ok during flowering at 12/12. so just got myself another 65w 2700k cfl and im moving my cupboard into a walk in wardrobe as its a slightly larger space and i can stick a carbon filter in with an inline fan to get rid of the smell as my neighbor complained abut the smell and asked me to smoke a bit less. im also building a custom hood and some side light stands to have the 23w cfls on so i can have lights in the middle of the plants as well as above. im gonna be doing this over the next few days. so ill take some pics and post them as i progress.
heres the few pics ive taken today. excuse the blurryness

the one in the orange pot is my ww bagseed vegging. i topped it a week or so ago to get 4 main colas. took a couple days to recover but as you can see is growing quite vigorously now. the tall plant is my healthiest plant by far. the other one at the same height has some serious mag def that is killing off all the fan leaves. ive given some epsom salts and molasses in the last 2 feeds (epsom only once) gonna juts give her water for the next few feeds and see how she goes. need to get that ww into its final pot so i can start the scrog. waiting on the wood to arrive to build my scrog screen. should be here 2moro though. will post a small drawing of what my new setup will look like
Looks like your coming along nicely. I love when they start to flower, It's an exciting time I'd pay special attention to that neighbor of yours. Not sure what your relationship is with him/her but I find that a neighbor that will complain about some smell will sooner or later become more of a bitch about things. Best to get that odor problem in check asap. (Im sure ya know this though, heh).
What kind of camera are you using? Does it have auto focus or some such thing? it looks to me as if it is focusing on things in the background while the foreground is out of focus. I know my camera does this as well. I get a "green square" that pops up and shows me what it is focusing on. In the past it used to focus on people in the background and totally ignore the actual subject!
I hear you with the HPS as well. For the electricity it is going to hog (plus the heat problems it will create for me) it was just worth it to go LED. I dont care what otehr people say about LED, they all have their own agendas. Its, cool, quiet, cheap (to run) and effective. The only downside is a higher initial price. (Which is negated by your first months electricty bill heh). I plan on getting more in the future.
Oh yeah, I know I'll porbably have to suppliment my next grow with some Cal/Mag because with auto's and LED that seems to be a problem. This is what I'll be using:
Botanicare CAL-MAG Plus.
