Day 1 of Flower on my 1st Grow

[Downfoemythang]

Finally made it to flower on my first grow. I went with a 600 watt Digital Electric Ballast with a mini-sunsoaker reflector from HTG. Very pleased with the ballast so far (It's only been a day), smaller and quieter than the 400 MH (magnetic) ballast I have. I added 4' fluorescent lights on the side (don't know if it was needed or not, I figure it could help) I'm feeding them fox farm nutes according to their feeding schedule. I figure weekly photos would be the best way to show progress. I have one question; is it safe to take clones from a plant once its flowering, or do I run the risk of stressing them out?

Looks good. You can clone up until 2 weeks of flower. I just try not clone when the whiter hairs start building up. In the first week of flower is fine for sure. Take some clones. Looks good, I bet you can get that 600w real close

Thanks!
I got it about 18" from the tops of the plants. I didnt notice how much cooler the HPS was compared to the MH bulb.

White Widow

Here it is! Day 22 of Flowering. Yield looks promising to me, but what do I know. I'm guessing 9 weeks for flower. If anyone has grown white widow before, how long did they flower before they but it down?

Here are the latest photos. Day 32. The HPS light throws off the color of the picture a lil bit. It's probably way too soon to start paying attention to the color of the trichs, or maybe not, but opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks
