Thanks for the comments everyone!

Well... I moved the smaller 125w light last night. I moved it down so instead of them both being above the plants the big ones on top and the little one is at the side - Im hoping this will let the light get to more of the plants. I opened the cupboard today and noticed the growth already so Im thinking they like the new set up! (Its also been put like this for the benefit of my little el nino babies that you might have seen dotted about the cupboard every now and again. Theyre about 7-10 days old now but are still just a side line, not sure what Im doing with them yet coz theyll need 12/12 light at some point...)

The pic of the one out the grow-room is D, hes so wide and bushy! Question tho - B's balls are opening up to reveal 4 little dangly bits. That doesnt mean he producing pollen does it? There doesnt appear to be any pollen, are they meant to open up and then they produce pollen? Ive taken him out just incase. Theres a close up pic of these balls, dont know if you can make it out...

Theyve been smelling a bit now for a few weeks, they started off like tomato plant smell and became more and more weedy, now they just have a nice mix of each, nothing too strong... yet!

A is having some problems tho :( Some of her leaves are going brown and patchy. Hoping its some sort of defficency or pH problem and not a disease. Hopefully getting some stuff to help pH and some nutes etc soon...

Mostly the bottom ones but some around the middle too :(

Theyre only making my room smell a bit at the mo. I live by myself so its only really my mum coming round thats a problem but the amount of times shes come round when theres been smoke everywhere... dont think she'll notice / mind. Might be a good idea to have some insense stashed somewhere tho

The girls got repotted last night. The tubs arnt that much deeper unfortunately but they are wider so they can spread out a bit more.

I got some calcified seaweed and mixed that in with the new soil. They seem to be settling in OK. I also got some more nutes that are fot tomato plants but what the hell.

The boys are pollening, Im just waiting for D to oepn up a few more flowers then ill get some pollen and kill them when I can bring myself to do it / be arsed.

Weird thing - when i opened the cupboard after their sleep Crystabell had little water droplets all over her leaves. Im thinking its come out of her as there cant be anywhere else its come from (unless the air) but its only on Crystabell!!

Photos are roots, roots, C, A, G and all together

Not sure what 20oz is in bottles! They were 2 litre bottles. It took 20 litres of soil to repot them so thats about 8 litres of soil each now.

They are about 1 month old now - halfway! The AK-47 one looks good, I like the look of Lowberry.

I tried pollinating a couple of bits last night, didnt seem to be actually getting any pollen on them but I probably did and I didnt want to overdo it.

You should probably get another CFL and then when flowering convert straight over to the red spectrum as the blue spec has more eneregy. Other than that you look real good
