Thanks for the help, very much. Hopefully I see sex soon. I think I am just freaking out because it's my first grow and I am unexperienced.
I'd smoke you up if I could.

Here's an update for everyone 
Especially for CuriousJ.. This ones for you bro.. Got a lot of pics that'll be at the bottom.
Anyway.. Today is DAY one for plant number two! It reared its little head last night and today as is lookin solid(of course it is.. its still little lol) The other one is doing well.. It seemed like it was growing kinda slow compared to my last two plants, and im wondering if its because I didnt use the cocopots i had used last time. I didnt realize it but my soil also has Mycorrizhae in it, and since the roots were able to get pretty developed before finally moving out of that cocopot, those mycorrizhae probably helped em out..
Anyway.. Here's my new arsenal of stuff that i'm using to get these babies nice and buddy fat... The hydroshop has a limited size of products(pretty much all litre) so i picked up sensizym instead of Hydrozym as it was like 7 cheaper... And its nice that the tag said 30.95 and i only paied $29 for it.. apparently they dont like sales tax ^_^
Heres the two plants... I realize that the one is a bit smaller.. But i'm going to start them BOTH on the feed schedule, and i'll be adding the Sensizyme to every feed also.
This parts for CuriousJ... But the rest are welcome to take a peak also Curious, you asked how my fans are set up, so i'll try and help you out on this part.. First off.. We have the top right of my case with that fan, and the lexan glass that i told ya about...
As you can see... That fan isnt covered all the way up, that actually helps move the plants around quite a bit believe it or not. Right below that.. I thought i had a pic, guess not, but there is some holes that most computer cases have to place a fan there or promote passive intake over the hard drives.
Now.. This is the left side of my PC case, you can see the bottom fan, which is the same as the one on the top right of my case. a 120 that moves alot of air, and right above that, is my electronics and my other fan thats an 80mm that moves some serious air too(up to 80CFMs )
And heres the fan at the top, expelling that hot air from the lights, this one is usually turned up to almost full blast, but it gets pretty loud and i can turn it down quite a bit and keep my temps at exactly 76*
And last but not least... This has been with my lights on the past two days, no changes, and my rooms been pretty warm too, and the humidity has stayed the same also... Right at 76* @ 56% humidity
Thats all for now folks I'll update again when the plants are a little bigger
Enjoy, and goodluck in all your endeavors

Yea I can see they're looking good man. Good nute porn too, always like to see a good line up
I think sensizyme is just the same as hydrozyme so no worries. When are you going to start feeding nutes? I normally wait until they're approx this size before starting a 1/3 strenth nute tea.
I really like your setup man, it's nice to have control over your temps like that

Nice setup you have there! I'll be watchin the grow.
It's awesome that you can keep the temps that low in the case! I've seen a few micro-grows where heat it the biggest problem. But then again, with utilizing 4 fans, those lows temps should be expected. lol
Good luck!

Mushu,
Thanks a ton for the pics and fan setup info...should help me
Just one more question.....for your odor management....It looks like you placed a piece of activated carbon in front of the outtake fan.....and also in front of intake (though im guessing this is more to block light than actually scrub the air)
Has this been enough to manage all the smell?
Doesn't seem like a ton of area to blow through, but I'm not sure how much you need.....thanks again for your help

Sammet - I actually already started my nutes per the chart.. its an 800ppm solution so i dont expect too many problems and the sensizyne should help(im hoping).. this again, probably like ALL my grows, is going to be another learning experience ... And yea, i talked to the lady at the Hydro store, and she said its the same thing.
Seaside blues - thanks bro I kept one thing in mind in during all the research i did... ps.. i love the people that just buy stuff and dont research and wonder why their grow failed... Do research, and things will go smoothly ... Anyway.. I kept in mind to always overdue the exhaust.. Most people only have ONE or two fans, and they're low RPM or low CFM fans.. I said screw that.. Got me a 55, and two 80s.. Thats 215cfm of airflow out the back(minus the restriction from the carbon filter) So its pretty nice in there
The St. - I set up a photobucket with a false email account... probably still not the safest, but :X.. Not sure where else to do it when the pictures section is down.. And its always given me problems trying to upload more than 8 pictures in my whole album =/ I like pics, so what can i say haha
CuriousJ.. Due to the high CFMs out the back.. I dont actually have one in the front, thats just tape to cover light and hold the front panels in place. The filters i got are just normal carbon filter things i got from target
http://www.target.com/Holmes-Hammer...e=UTF8&index=target&rh=k:carbon filter&page=1
Pack of 4 for 10 bucks, and cut to size... They've got arm n hammer in em too, and since they were males, i had no smell.. so im not sure =/ But i've got those three, i've got a febreeze trueair room filter, and some other stuff to mask the smell.. I've got like 4 or five different things for this so im hoping it all works lol
As for the Lexan sheet.. It all depends on your setup.. Do you have a thread started or someplace i can view pics of your set up? If its in a PC case, id deffinetly have one set up like i do.. It allows you to get your plants closer to the light. You can pick one up at Home Depot or home improvement store for pretty cheap for a small sheet of it
Glad I could help everyone... And thanks for the comments everybody I feel like im really contributing to this place haha
Enjoy.

Sm0kateer4204 - only reason i'm not currently is because 1, i dont have much room, and two, i actually dont mind if i get one male and one female... I'm actually not growing this right now to smoke as weird as that may sound... If i end up with both females.. Sweet.. but if not, i plan on letting them breed and then just harvasting all the seeds so i'll have even more down the road. I'm thinking ahead on this one and not just for the short term hehe
Really? Seems like a lot of work for extra seeds.
I finished my first cabinet grow not too long ago (one plant), and I left the chopped pot/stalk in the cabinet under 18/6 with the next round, and within a few days the 4" stalk had sprouted new leaves from the nodes where I had trimmed early lower branches. Now there are probably a dozen leaves, some over an inch long, and it's starting to branch. I was aiming for a "mother plant", and it appears I'll have one. I'll need to build a separate mother box before flower time, though. (I saw someone do this on this site somewhere, and I was surprised it actually works!)
Have you thought about keeping a mother plant instead of stocking up on seeds?
Anyway, I'll be keeping an eye on your thread. I have some Speed Queen beans on the way, and I'll be watching your feeding schedule, etc. Your last attempt looked pretty good! Sorry to hear about the males.

Segue - I have thought about it... But im also still living at home.. Now your all thinking then why grow you idiot... Cuz i feel safe after the 8 months of research i did and i feel that my precautions are pretty well planned.. That being said... I'm shooting for the long haul here, the more seeds i can produce now, the more plants i can grow down the line instead of having to spend more money on seeds(Its also one hell of a learning experience )... Also, if it would be possible, after establishing myself on here, i might be able to trade say 10-20 speedqueen seeds for a couple better seeds or something... At least im just hoping mainly for the seed portion w/o having to buy more seeds haha. The more i can just keep it to soil and nutes and not have to worry about importing seeds, the happier i'll be Thats my plan, or business plan as it sounds like haha
Although once i'm finally settled down somewhere there will be a mother room involved

And safe?
Hey Mushu
Funny you're just talking about fans - I've just got a new stronger fan today, 600 odd instead of 200 cfm and some pretty tasty acoustic ducting (I'm not kidding, its thicker than my leg, and I'm not a small guy).Kudos on making your own seeds man, something I'd like to do one day. But surely you'll need a bigger set up to make it worthwhile? If seed costs are your worries but you only run two plants at a time then any bag of 10 seeds will last you, say, a years growing?
You said you're still living at home, so I take it you don't have permission? Ever thought about asking? I managed to pluck up the courage when growing at home and was surprised at positive result. I hope you really really have your security down for your parents sake and I've gotta say I don't condone what you're doing, but needs must as they say (and I don't pretend to even know what your circumstances are, who am I to judge
).

Update and some responses...
Sammet - Well... the only thing i have to worry about is smell... they layed down ground rules for having it in the house after i gave them my side, not having to buy on the street and such, the big one is no evidence, so no smell, and no products visible.. at anytime... They see something or smell something and its out the window... so we'll see how good my control is haha
Growler - Its a computer desk.. I want it to look messy, its part of the deception. Sides.. I've got no other place to put my powerstrips for my computer.. All those cables don't even have anything to do with my case grow even haha. the case itself is self contained and plugged into a seperate strip
Anywho - Update time -
Both plants are doing well, they seemed to do fine with that last feed i gave them. Today i'll be giving them the same solution.
One thing im a little concerned about, in the first pic you can see some white stuff on the top of the soil... I've never seen that before until now, the other plant doesnt have that... So i'm not sure if it had something to do with the nutes or what =/ Plants are bothered but i'll be keeping an eye on it.
Plants seem to be growing alot slower than the last two, not sure whats up with that.. But im not worried
Thats all for now
