Thanks man! I'll have to borrow my sis's top of the line digital camera for the bud porn pic's here in a few weeks Their growin in soil, good old miracle grow, seedling mix. haha
The one in the 5gal has some other special kinda soil from the hydro shop and lots of perlite. I'm debating on whether or not I should transplant the smaller plant in the 2.3gal pot. Might be to late to benefit from it. I'm done with soil after this, soil fuckin sucks imho.
I'm new to hydro but i've got a lot of patience due to my love for growin plants so if i fail on this first round I won't just throw in the towel. I'm in it for the long run! haha

Flower with a 600w hps hortilux bulb, this bulb had the pleasure of growing massive amounts of plants in a huge wharehouse before i ever got it. The guy just gave it to me and said don't be surprised if you're yields go way up when you replace this bulb. Its at the least a year old. Seems to be working just fine though
