Diesel Ryder 400 grow

Hey everybody, this is my first grow in several years. I constructed a pretty ghetto setup in the corner of my spare bedroom, but I'm pretty sure it's going to work. I've used this same design many times with great success. I germinated 10 of joint doctor's diesel ryder using the paper towel method, and within 24 hrs I had 10 taprots showing. I then placed them in rapid rooter soil plugs, and into the humidity dome they went. They stayed in the dome under 2 agro veg bulbs for 4 days until the roots broke through the bottom of the plug. I then placed them in 2 gal grow bags with Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil. I'm using a Hydrofarm 400 MH/HPS, cool mist humidifier, air purifier, fox farm nutes, and 3 fans. Also, there is a window I open daily for fresh air. These pics are at age 15, and besides a couple of plants having a few leaves that are curling upwards, I think they are pretty healthy looking. Here, I'll just let the pictures do the rest of the talking!

looking good, i got 2 diesel ryders going right now and they are really nice plants, though i'll warn you they start smelling pretty strongly once they start flowering and it only gets better from there

well i stressed mine through lack of drainage, and they showed sex at around 10 days, i've heard they usually show them around a week or so after that

they actually couldn't be greener!! i think it's the hps that make then look that way, i just took one out and looked in natural light and it's perfect! i'm going to water them with their first feeding of big bloom tomorrow. can i do big bloom and tiger bloom? or just one?
