My hps is 600W- how much space will that cover? That would be great if your friend had more lights! The plants have about 4 nodes now, so maybe top in a couple weeks? I've actually tried the FIM thing before and it seemed to work, but darn it they turned out to be boys so I murdered them - what do you think of that process? Should I LST after I top, and how soon?

What did you do to the box fan to rig it? I have two little "blizzard" fans moving air around right now, but the plants are still little, and under cfls. Once we move them into the hidden back space, under the big lights, I will need to keep it cool, though being in the basement helps.

The space we had planned for the flowering area would be about 8 feet long and 2 1/2 feet wide, like a long closet- We would frame it out, and make it as light-tight as we can. It would run along the back of the existing growroom (which is about 8 x 8) with a small door so that it just looked like a cabinet to store chemicals, but when you open the door, voila! At least, that is what I was thinking. We could vent out into the rest of the basement. Any suggestions on set-up would be appreciated, kindprincess!
Sorry for all the questions- but I am getting hooked into this growing. It is like growing specific grapes for wines, so many different types to try... I'd love to be able to breed a few diff varieties just to see what develops-fun!

I'd better get to bed now, or Santa won't come-
Nighty-nite friends.
