Righto... had a set back with my inline fan blowing up. But I won't let a little thing like that put me off lol
Wired up another PC fan in it's place and it's performing horribly... but it is moving the air albeit a bit slowly. Temps are not overheating so it's okay for now. Not sure yet about the off cycle temps but I'll work that out as I go.

So my cab is now a veg cab and my girlies have moved down to the flowering cab and are looking quite lush in there against the mylar.

Noticed lots more pistel growth last night, so much so that my tops are now looking like the start of actual buds!

My propagator has moved into the veg cab too, so the wife is happy. Not so happy that I've cut up her lamp lol but it's swings and roundabouts innit - I'll buy her a new lamp ;) one day...

Aye it's all good from the cumbercamp bro :)
The seeds, I'm sure you've seen in the other thread, have been planted and are sitting in the Root Riot blocks in the tupperware.

As for the changes, I'm expecting daily dramatic changes now they have their proper home and a better bulb. Lots of stretching and lots of pistel production. Within the next month they're supposed to double in size!

The ones that my mate grew from the same bag had pretty sizeable buds on the top cola's, a good few inches tall. So I'm hoping for at least similar from mine :)

Thanks for the confidence strongy, it's much appreciated :)

It really does feel good seeing the results of my hard labour and knowing that the community condones my actions lol

My first grow, so far, is going really well. I'm very happy with it :)

Thanks man, yeah I'm proper stoked to see some flowers appearing :)
They say that as soon as you start seeing pistels, their growth just goes mad. It's true!! there was only a few the other day and now there are proper flowers :)
Really enjoying this experiment so far and can't wait to smoke these babes lol

A quick pic of the lower cab with the doors shut. I realised that I hadn't shown this yet lol
You can see how little light is escaping. I'm in the process of fixing this so I can go in there in the day time to faff with my veg cab :)

Thanks for the props people :)

However, bad news today. Just went out there and the PC fan I've used as an exhaust fell off... it fell right onto some new bud, still powered of course... There was chopped leaf everywhere!
I would have loved to have seen my face as I opened the door! LMAO
Thankfully though, no real harm is done. One branch has been supercropped and still living (I guess this is a good test to see exactly what super cropping does eh) and a few fan leaves looking a bit less. But overall, it's still okay... phew!

I've moved the fan (pfft) to sit over my intake on the floor as you can see in the pic. At least there it's sucking in some warmth from under the floor, I guess the exhaust will just have to be passive for the now...

The green pics are of little scraggler, it's confirmed FEMALE!! woo!!
You can't really make out the little pistels in these pics, but they're deffo there! :)
