Yea I am thinking at some point to put up something more sturdy as a backer, but oh well this works for now 
The ladies are growing up nicely. Hairs showing all over the place. Still got a few plants left that haven't shown sex yet...still hoping for at least one male...need to keep this strain alive!
Temps holding at around 75F, humidity this morning was about 60. I keep having to raise the lights up a notch just about every day to prevent heat damage, but ive got a good 1.5' left to raise if needs be

Picture update time:
So they are growing like a mofo. A good inch plus per day...I have to raise the lights a notch just about every day...just waiting for the vegetative growth to slow down and it really start flowering...I'm wondering if its going to go full on flower mode with 18/6...or if i should drop it to 12/12...

So after a little conversation with my dealer that I got these seeds out of, apparently its an Iranian G13 autoflower...and reading up on these they grow like banshees...and can be cloned...I might try to take a few cuttings off the side shoots and root them to continue the grow...then just take new cuttings every month or so from the clones
We'll see...I haven't decided yet, and I definitely don't have much for room to grow at this point, but if I'm going to try to take a few cuttings I need to do it asap before they get too much older

So yeah...been reading up on cloning quite a bit and I think i'll take a stab at it this afternoon...Just need to sterlize some stuffs and get a bit more soil. I've already got rooting gel I bought a little while ago. I shall take some pics of what I come up with once I'm done

ok so no clone taking today...been too busy, but I think i have everything for it...bought 4 2700k 23watt CFL's to mount above a dome, got building materials to make stuffs...i might work on it a bit tonight...depends on how much stonage i get...so probably not a good idea to be messing with razors and hot glue

ok, finally got 8 clones taken, a small humidity domeish thingy made from a white tray of some sort, oak dowels, ducttape, plastic wrap, and clear vinyl. I also created a CFL contraption of light consisting of 4 23watt CFL's and 2 28watt CFL's concentrated into a small 16"x9" area. I'll take some pictures tonight when I get a chance, but I need to setup the reflector on it. I bought some aluminum flashing to cut and make the reflector out of, but I think 148 pure watts of CFL should do the trick for a veg/clone area

Oh yeah I forgot to mention I adjusted the light cycle last night to 14/10 to coerce the beauties to start generating some buds...and the veg/clone area is 24/0, and sectioned off kinda sorta outside of the flowering room to prevent light leakage...I'll try and get some pics soon

Last night I pulled the flowerbox out completely, detatched the 4' floro tubes from the main light assembly and mounted it on chains on the side of the grow area and lowered it a little to give some more side lighting.
I also adjusted all the chain positions around the main light assembly to raise the HPS's higher up into the wood rectangle, and overall made it so i can have more room to raise the lights cuz i'm going to need it.
lights at 13/11 now...decreased the light another hour...i need to get these finished off before I run out of room lol!

Bend them over where? The main stems are freaking huge...Don't want to break off a top

They should be able to flex a bit more each day. Just take a bit of twine and loop it over a stem and tape it to the bin. That way you can tighten it little by little and avoid breaking any branches. I'd be careful using other growth to hold it down, don't wanna accidently slingshot half a plant away. All your growth looks great btw man, keep doing what you're doing and you should get a really nice yield from them.

yeah i think i'll dig out some string here at some point and start using the lip of the flower bed to tie things down to...gonna need it to finish this grow out i think...I did a little bit more weaving of the taller branches to get them to see more light and lower the overall height of things more
I had another little one sprout up last night as well...i dug it out and replanted it in a small pot and put it where the clones are under 24/7...so hopefully I can replant it back into the flower box once I harvest the other beauties
