Looking good man. I'll have to check em out when I up for Christmas. Btw you should start looking into organic growing. And I don't,ean "organic bottled nutrients". True organics, mixing your own soil with organic amendments like alfalfa meal, bonemeal, compost, etc. it's basically just mimicking nature. I've had success with it here in Cali. All you have to do is water your plants with dechlorinated water, no mixing chemicals or checking ph, ppm. All the nutrition your plants need is contained in your soil mix and the microbes living in the soil cycle these nutrients into a plant usable form. The city has a pretty badass organics section. You should check it out. Let me know if you want more info

I think i saw a pistil on each on but my imagination is prob causing that and i ordered a 200mm 125 cfm 800rpm pc fan that i will use to create my own carbon scrubber and the cabinet is 35cf so it will cycle lots of fresh air so ill be able to run it at 400watts

Don't be surprised if that fan isn't quiet powerful enough with that 400W in 35cf. We're not using the whole 35 vertically when we lower our lights down. Let's say for example I had 54 square and 250W. I still have have a 4" inline rated at 200cfm, Now there is a filter on the end but even before the filter was added temps were high. It looks like your thermometer is above the lights, you need it under so you can know whats going on at the canopy. Just my observation.

Gotcha but doesnt heat rise and i have a small fan attached to the end of the reflector hood blowing straight on the bulb to help keep the heat off the plants

You know as well as I do heat rises. I know what happens in a larger space with a lower wattage HID.
I try to keep my ambient temps right around 69 degrees. Your plants look good, it's just you up'd that learning curve a bit by taking a step up in equipment. You'll be fine just keep an eye on it
Did you move your thermometer yet? What's it say now?

Why you may ask? Well, just wouldn't waste the valuable space that you're limited to.

You may just need a carbon filter. I had one girl in a tent that stunk like hell, when I trimmed forget it, permeated the whole house. Ona is good but better used with a carbon filter imho. It's better to be safe than sorry. Your strain will let you know.
