Also what should my humidity be at, its running between 50 and 60% at the mo.

Humidity wants to be higher during veg and lower during flowering.... I read somewhere that the last two week you should aim to get the humidity as low as possible as this makes the flower crystal up even more..
I like to keep clones and seedling between 75% - 100%
Vegetive plants between 75%-50%
Flowering plants 50%- >

All right Lu did you manage to sort out the bugs , Got out the grow bible and they recommend a pyrethrum based insecticide for getting rid of bugs , Will stay away form the Erin soil , Been using plagron bat mix at the mo and some good soil no nutes needed yet and 6 weeks in ,

Wot you think of the below for flowering have to get either 250 watt cfl 2700 €56 + €15 P&P or for extra 20 quid get the 250.00 watt HPS GIB Kit €75+€15P&P http://www.seamus-growshop.com/hps-kits_seamus_growshop.htm. How hot can the HPS get would I need to buy extra fans

willoco i sorted the bugs for now with the neem oil but it did a little bit of damage to the new growers but they will be ok, if i were you i would defo go for the 250w hps, much better light spread than the cfl. also can help with temps if you have lights on at night as it gets pretty nippy, the cfls are not very good at heating larger growing areas. i bought the gib ballast aswell and im very happy with it so id go for it if i were you. thats good to hear your plants dont need nutes 6 weeks in.

Yeah seen them alright... they'd be used for a kitchen or a bathroom..

If noise isn't a issue then go for it man... remember you'll need a carbon air filter

2 days hung up and my buds arent dry yet. Pissing me off!

Wow man.. give it time... 7 - 14 days and they'll be dry.....

Dont dry them too quick as it'll be harsh as fuk.. slow and steady won the race...

If you're dying to try a bit and have a microwave.... then you could always steam dry a bit..

Problem with the bathroom fans is they're not centrifugal (sp?), so they dont do pressure well, meaning using a carbon filter with them is near impossible cos they cant pull the air through them.

your right harrekin you cant use them with a carbon filter so im going for this kit
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EXTRACTOR-FAN-KIT-USE-GROW-TENT-ANY-SIZE-/250582211963?pt=UK_HomeGarden_Garden_PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN&hash=item3a57dd1d7b#ht_1613wt_905
then just pick up another clip on fan and ill be sorted, the plants growth does not half slow down when they are not getting enough air. works out at about 85 with postage so unless anyone knows where you can get them cheaper ill be going for that.
son of shiva those plants look great, lovely colour and the buds are coming along lovely, im about 2 weeks behind you and i cant wait till its over and start flowering the next lot.
