Plants look pretty happy from what I can see.

I have a question, though, how are the plants not too hot? <-- it looks like your HPS light is really close to the tops...my HPS is way too hot to be that close, even with the remote ballast, the bulb itself is quite hot.

Nice looking grow buddy!

The good thing is that the temperature is not growing above 24 ' C. There is a 6" fan blowing at the bulb and the plants and one more fan sucking the air out of the chamber every 2-3 minutes (plus two fans at the bottom of the chamber). I'm glad that I can keep them so close because it means a lot of those 33000 lumens on my buds!!!

and another important question for everyone! I just cut down some "suckers" on lowest parts on two of my girls, will it really improve the growth of upper buds?????????

I have found that it truly does, but bigger top nugs doesn't necessarily correlate to a higher yield, dig?
I did an experiment to see how much this varied, just two plants compared though. With my purple kush, it really is a stretch to get any yield worth mentioning so it counts quite a bit. I haven't finished them, but we'll see (the nugs definetly are bigger on the pruned plant).

btw way to go, lookin great!
