Excellent Craftmanship - I'm working on that same NGB style design. I like your air-flow setup too. I was going to do that too, but I decided that I would just have all of the air be exhausted through my carbon filter. Just out of curiosity, what type of in-line fan are you using to push thru your carbon filter & how many cfm's does it do? I was thinking of getting that 6" In-Line Duct fan they have at home depot.

David Zap - Yeah man - ditch those incandesant bulbs. I was wondering if you were growing ganja in there with all that stretch. The easy fix would be to get the compact flourescent [CFL's] lights at home depot or wherever (the coil style ones). Standard incandesant bulbs use more wattage and produce nothing useful for our sweet mary-jane. If/when you switch to the CFL's, maybe come up with an idea to get them closer to the plants. Alternatively - which would probably be best IMO - I would tear out the whole lighting system and swap in an high pressure sodium [HPS] light & hood/reflector and light mover setup for your future babies. To save money I got a metal halide [MH] ballast and 175w bulb for veg, then when you switch to flower, use a 150w hps conversion bulb. They're a bit pricey, but its better than having to switch out ballasts or have two installed in there. Good luck with your grow man!

Not exactly the cleanest setup - but just to give you an idea of what you want things to look like. Your plants are lumen starved and thats why they're stretched out looking more like bamboo. =) No offense tho - I tried to do something like that in one of my first grows and I had a few pointers to get me where I am too.

I can't really see your pistils, so here's a little guide I found a while back. It seems to be pretty accurate.

Heres the best pic I ever took of some trichs. What a pain in the ass to do that.
I think that if your not seeing the amber yet, you should hold off and flower a bit longer. Are your pistils red?
Here's also a great diagram for harvest time.
P.s. Taking pictures of what you see is ... so frustrating you will need to smoke a gram of hash afterward to calm you.

LoL man - im telling u now - its a super PITA. If your patient though you can try it. I got the scope all setup so it was focused and such and then I taped it to the desk. Then I got my camera and put it on my tri-pod all out of wack with 2 legs high and one short so I could get a good angle over the scope. Then I moved the pod around until I got a good view over the scope and then kept adjusting until I got it right. I took about 20 pics and it took me like a half hour to get it right. That one is my fav.

Man you gotta zoom in all the way to 100x. I know that you NOW have found out how big of a pain in the ass it is to set it up though. And typically the best place to get close up to see the trichs standing upright like I do is by viewing the edge of the leaf.
