Thanks man. Just a case of building up adding a bit at a time. Im looking for a new lighting system for my grow tent, prob going to go with a 400w HID's, which i will switch to in a few months.
going to continue with the auto's till then.

Ok short update checked on the speedy today and the slowest growing of them has turn out to be a male (little bastard) so he was swiftly dispatched from the grow room.
the other three seem ok after the transplant, hopefully smooth sailing for here on in...
