It looks as if two of the taller girls are more sativa based and different to the third strain (not sure what is supposed to be LR#2), at the very least are showing major pheno differences..

Smelling great inside the tent! The carbon filter is doing it's job well and has enabled guests to hang out, without any hint of what is going on inside the wardrobe.. :mrgreen:

Forgot to mention lighting situation... :eyesmoke:

I've got a 250W warm white 2700k CFL under wings, 48w cool white, 48w warm white and 27w warm white CFLs.

I've also just purchased some cheap 15W red/blue LED panels and will set these up shortly to try out their effectiveness for side lighting. Won't hold my breath as have no experience and they were very cheap - if anyone has experience with these cheapies let me know....

looks good, but dude, you have 388 watts of lights and your probably pulling what maybe 18000 lumens from these you should invest in an hps an pick up a 400 hps and get 50k in lumens and big chunky buds at the end. its worth it man. i went both ways with cfls and watching the buds fill out at the end is no comparison. Besides that looks great. after u get some time under ur belt look into scrogging those bad boys.

Cheers man. I'd love to put a 400 HPS in there but it'd just be too hot (I actually have one sitting in the garage...) The tent is very small, and ventilation is an issue. I don't have access to cool air intake or anywhere to vent the hot air out so I'm getting pretty high temps already.

Edit: Yeah I should've done a SCROG, to be honest I didn't even think about it until they started flowering and would've been too late. There is always next time ;)

How loud is your fan outside the tent?
Not too bad man.. You can definitely hear the intake fan ballbearings running when in the same room, but anywhere else, it's not noticeable. The outtake fan is inside the tent and is unable to be heard when the tent is closed.

Wow looks great. Im surprised that bulb is a 250w, the space looks small but pics can be deceiving. They're looking great for 38 days, are they auto or is this 12-12 from seed?

Cheers man. Yeah the bulb is massive, plus the wings literally JUST fit inside, and take up almost half the lighting space from above. They're autos, 18hrs light all the way through. Day 42 now, will up some pics :)

Thanks guys.

3 or 4 of the fan leaves on the bushy plant have got damage of some sort, only on one side/area.. Looks like a burn of some sort, possibly when I was feeding... Thoughts? Cut em or leave em?Al

Also a few closeups.. Still got a while to go.
Personal preference I guess, I always cut but that's just me. Other choose to leave, I just don't like yellow in some nice beautiful green color

Yeah, I might do it to be honest. Looks almost bacterial or fungal but overall it seems a burn of some sort.

Pics are just from a top microscope lens doubled up on my phone cam, takes a semi-decent shot and gives me an idea of how the trichromes are looking :)
