Newb with 1st AG Afghan grow

Just show and tell, really. I'm running a standard Pro200, stock lights, stock nutes, running 24/0 lighting to this point (just coming up on 7-1/2 weeks). This is 5 out of 7 seedlings (two were "stillborn," so to speak and didn't make it). A few older lower leaves have been trimmed off over the preceding weeks, and the new growth was clipped once at about 4 weeks to encourage branching, but that's about it. (The first couple of weeks growth was very slow, probably more than usual, which I think was due to the cool temp in the grow room, as it is in an unheated portion of the house and it was still rather wintry out, though things have warmed up now and growth has really sped up, as well.)

Considering I've done absolutely nothing special with the grow and that I knew (and still know) very little about growing at all, I'm pleased with the results so far. (My understanding is that this strain could flower after 8 weeks or so, so I can go to 12/12 lighting to encourage that in another week or so, correct?) Granted, things are a tad crowded. :-|

Am open to comments/suggestions, though. Next time I'll pay more attention to the details. (The pictures aren't the best ... photography is not my forte, obviously.)

wow man nice grow at the moment only have 1 plant growing in mine.
Thanks. Anything I get out of this first grow attempt I will consider "bonus" harvest, as I just wanted to try just a baseline, minimal- to no-intervention grow just using the standard AG. Any subsequent grows will involve some tweaking of the various parameters, but I just wanted to see what a vanilla no-fuss grow would produce. :-)

[apologies in advance if any dupes of this post show up later on (I already deleted one :-)), as the server kept hiccuping while trying to send]
