Noticed you have a jug of water in the corner of your room in one of your pictures. Don't know if you are leaving it in there, but I never leave my water under my light due to an accumulation of algae growth; especially with a jug of nute water. I just put mine in an unplugged freezer and it stays pretty algae free.

Keep that light low as in 2 inches off those chica's. With floro's its a fight to keep the stretch under control. Could tell that plant was a male by the first pic. Rest are Looking good! keep at it and read your ass off. Back in the day warehouse growers used to grow their whole crop start to finish with fluoro's It can be done. Just not ideal. But hey it takes time. Most of us can't just drop a grand on a system. We do what we can when we can. I'm sub'ed up for the journey.

I do not use leds and can't offer much help in that regard. But a 600 HID system is cheap and will work for a 4x4 area. I am certain that an led will work also, just don't have info. I'm sure you will get many answers that are more informed on those.

Led game is expensive to get into. The leds you see on amazon are a waste of cash. It's why they look so cheap. If you are serious about building a led setup... To equal a 1100 watt DE Gavita you are looking at running 800 watts of leds. Mixed spec builds like these cost around 1400-1500 dollars for a 3.5' by 3.5' light that covers a 4by 4. Now those number are ballpark for a really nice space dialed build. Go over to you tube and look up Growmau5 or Greengenesgarden and start watching vids. They do a great job of breaking the technologies down.
