They are around 9''-10" now. Im thinking of sending them over to flower at 12". When my God Bud, Kush and Widows are ready, I'll let them get to about 18" before flower. These girls were kinda just a trial run for my 1st grow.
I have about 4ft in my flowering room. That would still be room for the light to stay 12" away from the plants.
The Reflector is an Xtrasun AC Reflector with 4" flange cooling kit.

Here's a little update guys. A few new pics.
As you can see I fired up the Flower tent to see if everything was good to go. It couldnt be more ready!!
The stalks on these girls are amazing!!! Also, I think the foilage is looking really green and healthy.
What do you guys think?

I have a few questions about flowering::
1.) When I switch these over to flower should I use full strength nutes right away?
2.) I heard that 40% humidity is perfect for flowering. Is it ok if I flucuate between 30%-43%?
3.) How many weeks into flower should I start adding flowering nutes?
4.) Which flowering nutes should I use? I hear that the shooting powder works great later on in flower.
Thank you so much for your help guys.

1.Not right away work them into it.
2.30 43 is good. last two weeks lowers better i have read3
3. First week at low dosage
4.you dont have flowering nutes ? hmm lots of different brands its up to you theres Humbolt, House and Garden, Advanced Nutes, Canna, Dutch Master, General Hydro and i bet many more. Some can be pricey but those are the better brands kinda
After you pic the company you want to go with, normal they have a feeding chart that tells you what to give when to give it and how much so you dont have to stress about all that just what company to go with. Some people even mix and match
Good luck
Oh shit, almost forgot
plants have a nice healthy green to them doing a good job already flowering shit only two months and home grown buds, 
Light ducing - if you have your lights up all the way you should condense the ducing so its shorter no turns in ducing is better for the fans

forgot you were using H&G, have you checked out there web site ? HOUSE AND GARDEN go to the Product area then go to the Nurtirant Calculator, type in your info and then check out the chart it will tell you what to use.
In flowering i use, Root Excel, Multi Zen, Bud XL, Top Booster, Shooting Powder, and Drip clean every once in a while. Plus the normal A/B Aqua
Been using Magic Green in veg to works good, they say to use it in flowering but i dont like spraying the buds with it

Yeah they gave me the H&G chart when I bought my nutes. I cut down the dosage that they recommend because it seemed to be a little to strong. Its been working great. I also got the Root Excel. That shit is no joke. Looks like freaking MUD. About $80 for the bottle, but WELL worth it. I'll continue to use the A&B and Root Excel. Im thinking of just adding Bud XL and Shooting Powder for flower. Next grow I may add CO2 to the Veg tent. Right now Im waiting on sprouts. I have 3 White Widow, 3 Kush and 3 God Bud seeds germinating. As soon as they all sprout, Im moving these babies to flower and them sprouts will be moved to veg. I'll be cloning the good stuff too. I picked up a bottle of Clonex last week.

Hey I just checked out their site. I put in my info for 4 weeks veg and 8 weeks flower for a 30 gallon resevoir. It says to use nutrients up to the final week of flower. Is this right? Ive read that some people stop using nutes a week or two before harvest. Which way should I do it?

no need for co2 in veg just when flowering for densie nugs
you need to go to radio shack and get a magnifine glass to check the trichomes when that time comes you will determine a flush and a finish off them
some strains go for 9 weeks so i just did 8 weeks nutes 1 week flush
for the strains only 8 weeks just look at the chart and i would say take out week 3 and bump all the rest up and flush on week 8
Its all just getting a feel for it man, you will get the hang of it after there in flowering its just a nice way to relax hanging out with them making sure you do not see any signs of un happy plants

shit looks good man..Hulk nugs knows what hes talkin bout that whole line up for house and garden. what he named is what im goin with..and the nutrient calculator on the website is pretty good ive been followin that so far. im in week 2 almost week 3 of veg..but what threw me is when u said to mix 1 ml of nutes for every gallon of water.thats right for the root excelurator but not right for a and b..according to the calculator you should be starting them in week 1 of veg with some where around 120 ml of each a and b and about 30 ml of root excelurator..if i was you i'd undercut everything on the nute calculator by about 10% jus to be safe...u dont wannna give your babies nute burn and stunt growth..but its all up to you man looks like everthing is workin good for you so keep it up...ill try and get pix up of my setup but i gots no digi camera...
