Girls are starting to look good and sexy, a few mutant leaves hear and there but overall new growth looks good. This is my first time using amended soil (roots) and using just water for the first few weeks to establish roots kicks ass! decided to add the best pic (least blurry with my shakey ass hand 
) I could get of a vortex bud 5 1/2 weeks into flowering.
Happy toking boys and girls.

Yep, most people buy a mogul that can be hung vertically and hang them from chains to make it symmetrical, i'm just a lazy bastard and decided to play bend the metal with what held my reflector in place.

waxxy, whats up with that piece of ducting over your light?
I'd think you'd have better heat control with the fan under the bulb blowing upwards

If i could find a fan, i would love to, but my odd bulb placement won't let me fit anything I've seen locally... the closet's temps are constant 72-76 when lights are on so i'm not stressing at this point i just don't want accumulated heat. Its an unused room that sees no ambient heat and its 30F outside.
I feel the bulb is keeping these ladies happy! I doubt the fan is doing anything but moving random air
, I'm adding another 600w HPS horizontally when my other soil girls are done, it will have a cool tube with a vortex and controller, i'll staple the ducting as close as possible to the vertical burning MH and regulate temps and cool both lights.

What about a fan on the floor blowing upwards towards the bulb? (seen lots of folks do that in vertical grows).If i could find a fan, i would love to, but my odd bulb placement won't let me fit anything I've seen locally... the closet's temps are constant 72-76 when lights are on so i'm not stressing at this point i just don't want accumulated heat.

I can't fit a fan under the bulb at its current height. I have been looking around town for a fan that will fit, but with perfect temps should i be stressing? The bulb will be hot as fuck when the plants get closer so i'm doing what I can atm. I'll be home in a bigger city next weekend, if two people commented on it i might as well do a more thorough search for the right sized fan...
