My First Grow

Let me start by saying I went to a friends house and saw his grow rooms so I decided to grow my own. I researched for about a month on what I was going to be able to do in my house.
My setup is as follows:
4x8x8 tent with reflective interior
2x1000w HPS in Cooltube Reflectors w/470cfm fan
1xCharcoal scrubber about the size of a CAN66 with it's own 470cfm fan
1x6" Clip-on Fan (Pretty much useless only reaches plants in the first half of the tent)
1x19" oscillating fan that I decided to get after a week of running the Clip on

I have included pics of my setup and my plants on their 4rd day of 18/6 cycle in 4 gallon pots of 3:1 Supersoil to Vermiculite.
I have 13 White Widow Clones.

I added 2 ExHale CO2 bags because I wanted to see if they helped and I didn't want to invest on an expensive CO2 setup on my first grow. At 31 bucks a piece I didn't think it would hurt anything to try the bags. I started using organic nutrients somehow I was convinced by the rasta dude at a local hydro store to use them instead of "foxfarm chemicals". He sold me 1 bottle of Earth Juice catalyst, 1 bottle of Sugar Peak Veg, and a bag of Kelp. He gave me instructions on how to use them and said he would give the rest when I was ready to flower. Cool informational guy.

I have included pics of the plants and the exhale bags. Plus a pic of a Thermo/Humidity meter I bought at walmart for 7 bucks which shows me the high/low for the day.

I was going to go 4x4x8 but my friend has 2 whole bedrooms setup. And my other friends went with me to buy the equipment and convinced me to go 4x8x8 and when I was at the garden store the worker offered me 2 complete setups for 1400, only thing was some of the items were used for 1 grow so I bought them anyways. When he delivered he gave me new bulbs and ballasts. I sold 1 setup to a friend for 700.

Seems like they've grown quite a bit but the pics don't do them justice those ExHale bags must be doing their job.

Well they are into their first week of flowering. I also took one of them to be a mother before I flipped them. I made a DIY Aerocloner, some cutting were taken from mother but still waiting for roots.

Also having small issues with humidity. Need to find a dehumidifier soon currently using DampRid but it is not fixing it to the level I want. On another note also ordered Purple Power Plant Fem seeds which should arrive soon.
