My first grow setup. No clue what I am doing yet so just growing some mystery bagseeds. I have about 10 good seeds that I got from some locally grown medicinal weed that I hope to germinate once I get more room in my veg area. After that I know of a couple local growers where I can get clones from. 
Spent ~$1.2k+ at the grow store so far, and about $300+ at the hardware (50% parts, 50% tools I needed)
ProMix soil and General Organics Nutes
Flower Room is 12/12
Veg room is 18/6
Exhaust Fan is 19/5
Circulation Fans run 20/4

The 2 plants in the flower room were sprouted outside, in dirt, sometime in early to mid August, IIRC. I bought my first light in early September and soon tried some more mystery seeds in Pro-Mix. I started using the taller room with a single 400w MH and no exhaust.
I got the majority of the exhaust run on the 12th.
I finished the flower room about 3 days ago and they got a day of 15/9. I topped them both approximately a week before I moved them into the flower room, maybe less.
The next day (14th) I transplanted the other small ones to 7qt buckets. The ones in the veg room are 3 - 4 weeks old and mystery seeds as well. A couple started growing really tall with long spacing in between nodes and appeared to sativas. I topped them too soon, after their set of 3 fan leaves, instead of waiting for the 5 fan leafs to show.
I transplanted then from their squares to the 7 quart buckets a few days ago.
Here is the flower room from that day.
Here they are yesterday after their first 12 hour night.
The square with 2 small ones are actually good seeds that I drowned while trying to sprout in dirt. I think they are from good strains, but they have been thru a lot. One of them, after finally struggling for survival, had the seed stuck to it and I waited too long to remove it.
Here they are this morning. The other one is looking pretty good though, thankfully.
Some of the others in my veg room aren't looking so great, and some I topped too early, but it's all schwag seed so I am not worried too much. I am hoping some of them recover from the transplant once they start getting nutes again. Once they do I will move the best looking ones to the flower room, probably in 3 - 4 weeks, and upgrade it to 600w HPS. Once I make more room in the veg room I will probably turn off the 150w HPS, move the 400w MH over a bit, and try to grow those good seeds I have.
This one is leaning a bit funny but seems to be coming back from the tranplant so I am going to wait a bit, top it, and maybe LST it as it s already leaning.
This is my mutant plant that apparently decided to top itself.
The rest all look sorta meh.
Here is the flower room this morning after 2 nites of 12/12, and having their morning water. These ones are in 10qt buckets.
This one got a FIM by accident and I ended up with 3 tops.
This one did not get a FIM.
Here are a couple more pics from the flower room this afternoon. They are both only about 10" above the dirt right now but I had taken a pretty good piece off the top of them. I was just in a hurry to get the schwag in the flower room so I can try and grow some better seeds or get some clones.
And a couple hours ago I moved most of the veg room plants into the flower room for a little bit. I had to add in one new surge strip and rearrange a few plugs to add in the 2 newest timers for the extended exhaust/circulation fan times. The electrical/timer work is a tad bit ghetto, but it is all 3 prong surge strips, etc.
