And the rest of the bunch!!
The two square pots are the unknown strains. They popped out of the soil one day apart but are quite a bit different in size. Time will tell if they are the same strain or not. I am hoping for not!!!
The Blue Magoo is coming along nicely but is stretching faster than I want. As soon as I see roots I will up-pot and bury her deep!!!
The Holy Grail and Platt Bubba clones are hanging in there. I might see roots in one of them but I don't remember which one at the moment.

Just a few things that i would change,have the fan straight to the filter that takes some of the duct away and increases the exaust pressure,Cut the duct work down,the more duct you use the less air pressure from the fan,and it will increase the heat has the duct work does get warm.in a area of that size you want at least two 12 " oss fans,if you are not useing a light mover then have the light the other way around this will give you far more pressure from the air been pulled from the room via the filter then via the cool tube.If possible seal the cool hood and get a 3rd fan that will pull cold air from out side the grow room and push it straight through the light out the room but it has to be a totally sealed light or you will get smell,for future i would get a cool hood rather than a cool tube cool tubes lose lumans i have tested them against hoods and the light from a hood is far greater than tube.looks pretty much like my room to be honest,i can't see if you have a 2 nd light if not then get one.You want the duct work to have straight shots the more bends the less pressure,there should only be one may be two bends in the duct work.Put a air ring in the bottom of the pots and have a fish tank pump sending air to the roots via the air ring this will make a big difference to the over all root ball.A great room though like a say its pretty much same has mine,but i run two 600 cool hoods and a 600 hpd swinger that i add around week 6/7 just for the crowning,I would not do no more than 3 plants in a room of that size,you should pull a lb a plant with two 600's or 28 min per plant,if you do two plants but big.I would also add slate lat around the bottom of the room or build a frame and scrog,its the best way of getting big yeilds,i have a frame built but its a pain in the arse getting it in and out of the room so i would go with slate lat around the room at flowering height say 2 ft with cup hooks in all way round,so you can just throw netting over them easy.a room built well like this one should only have to have little bits done on it every so often.great to see a bit of thought gone into it to be honest.

I did change up the fan situation and ducting from my first install. I am running two 600 cool tubes in there. I have them pointing that direction so the plants get light from both tubes versus the light coming off of the side of the tubes and blinding me when I walk into the room.
I now have a 440 cfm pulling fresh air from outside and pushing it through the cool tubes then back outside. The wife say's I need one more 600 in there so maybe in the future I will add one.
I run a perpetual room so there will be plant's at different stages being moved around in there once I get back to that point. My last room was smaller and I had between 5-9 plants in there at any given time. I tried the scrog thing and it was more work than I really want to deal with. That, and it ties up a large area and...... I really did not see an increase in the amount I harvested over a multi topped plant that is bent over (LST) and staked up. Also I neeed the lower stuff (popcorn) for my butter and hash makin's so I don't clean up the bottoms of the plant's.
I run a 14" and a 16" oscillating fan in there so I got that covered. I still need to pick up another oil radiant heater for in there for during the winter months. I checked the temp in there yesterday and it was 45 degrees ( the temp of my garage). With the lights on it is just above 80 degrees. I moved the carbon filter to the floor so what heat was in there from the veg area would not get sucked out so fast. I will see if that helped any with the cold while the lights are off.
Time to head out and see what's happening with the last cuttings I took.

Everything looks great ButchyboyA little tip burn never hurt anyone
I'm really diggin that platinum bubba!!
Thanks!!!
I cannot wait to see how it turns out!! She is staying relatively short and bushy with tight spacing on the nodes. Waiting to put her in the red room is really hard but I wanna see how big I can veg before putting her in... I am sure I will go overboard and have a bush that I cannot get around for maintenance!!

The XJ 13 at day 58 from seed looked like it was too big for the pink pot so I jammed it into a Walmart shopping bag with a mix of my super soil and some used soil at about 70% super soil and 30% used soil. Perlite was also added. These bags hold just over 5 gallons of soil.
It was spun out pretty good at the bottom so that bummed me a bit. I need to lopp off another lower branch soon just in case the clones in the ice chest give up on me.
