Your girls are looking fine and that yellow vein is nothing, it's just genetics of the plant I imagine.
Haha cdd you need to chill a little, a good method of keeping your temps right which I forgot to mention is to run your lights at night if your not already, in winter grows. That way you won't get much colder temps during your dark hours for plants. 12/12 in winter I would run lights all night to keep the heat up and in day woulda put extraction fan on a timer doing cycles to rotate air but not encourage as much cold air intake, saves you having to run a heater as much to keep your temps up.
I learnt this about keeping temps cooler in summer also, better to run 5pm-11am as it avoids the hottest part of the day and at night temps tend to drop which keeps my temps in a much better range. Your plants can handle up to 10 degree lower temps in dark period but better to keep the temp more consistent.
if your not doing this might want to consider giving it a shot, you just run your light 24 hours through your dark period and the next day switch to the new light cycle. Same as running 24 hours of darkness and fresh water flush going into 12/12 flower.

Your grow looks great titoM but seems like you could have done some pruning underneath, cfls are only really effective light on top part of canopy as they don't have as much penetration as hps I believe, so if you pruned the underside of plants it would put more of the plants energy into developing bigger colas rather than popcorn nuggets in lower growth..
it looks good but everything I've read about flowering in cfls says increased yield from trimming underside of canopy, what's your opinion?

Yer learn as you go, there are some people growing for like 30 years here in Australia I would love to rack their brain, but it's so hard to approach the topic of growing in person with people. Stupid laws, used to be allowed to grow 10 plants here with no repercussions other than a $50 on the spot fine, and your plants were confiscated, prohibition sucks balls.
the fact we need to hide our grows away and worry about power usage and smell, doesn't feel right.
Grow on and enjoy it, great hobby and very satisfying results

I agree it's pretty fucked up that growing a plant could take away your freedom.. Actually it's more than pretty fucked up imo

You know the part that makes me shake my head is that I have worked since 14 and paid taxes all my life, and never asked for a free hand out from the government. The people that make the rules and laws are paid by my taxes and then the people that would enforce those rules are also paid by my taxes.
I don't make money from it and we contribute to other peoples livelihood by buying lights etc. Who then also pay taxes, can I say screw you I'm not going to pay taxes because I don't like what you use them for, of course not then I would go to jail for tax evasion as well...absolutely ridiculous.

In all reality it's not a law to have to pay income taxes..

why do you not make money from this? Maybe you cant but I grow legally and I sell legally, everyone that can should.

Unless you live in Iran (legal to cultivate), India (legal to cultivate with a gov license), Netherlands (personal use only), Spain (situational), Switzerland (situational on location), Canada (medicinal license, possible that its being revoked in near future), Uruguay (legal from April 2014). You are in fact not legal according to your countries main legal and judicial system and could face criminal conviction just like every other country where it is illegal.
Know your rights and know your legal system, cultivation for your own personal use faces much less severe penalties in countries where it is still illegal but may have become decriminalized in comparison to supply or intent to supply which holds more strict penalties and consequences.

Maybe where you live perhaps, but here if you don't pay income tax you go to jail, or must pay back the tax department.
