First two attempts were dismal, all a learning curve.
Finally, we seem to be doing it right.
39 days old (bag seed), she's been tied down, correct nutes etc.
I'm absolutely amazed by the nutes I've been using. Hydrobotanics. I'm not sure if it's available outside AU.
Proud of her so far...
Bought a few from Bonza, destined for Brisbane. Never received.

I wish I could run my stuff at night, but unfortunately can't now. Only have 1 portable aircon so during the day it's used for the plants, at night, for humans. (Brissy here too)
The plants have been under flower for about 3 weeks now (We believe they're Indica dominant). We identified 1 male and 1 female, got rid of the male. (That was more than a week ago)
What's strange is, the other plants refuse to show confirmed signs of sex (4 plants remaining)
They're bag seeds...
$2 from eBay http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/705-53470-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575015020&toolid=10001&campid=5337086430&customid=&icep_item=390507009131&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229515&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg
200x is overkill. I have one and it's too powerful. I stick with the 35x...
You'll want to invest in a portable aircon. I bought mine for $135, 2nd hand. When I didn't have the aircon, my 2 plants died due to heat stress etc, so I waited until I had $ for the aircon and started a new grow from seed. So far so good.
