There is now visible growth everyday, I did a raised transplant into 32 oz. cups a few days ago and the biggest one already has roots coming out of the bottom. I'll about to get more soil so I can transplant again later.
In the first pic you can see the 55w PL-l with a 23w 6500k CFL on the side for added spectrum and so the plants grow towards it, once they start to point toward it I turn them around to start the process over again, this should increase stem strength. Also on the left there is a small fan to keep the plants moving and air circulating.
I changed the room a bit, added a 16w 120v 120mm fan at the end of the light and 3 .6a 12v 120mm Delta fans connected to a 600w PSU. I also added a 23w 2700k CFL next to the female for added spectrum and lighting.
The lady has been growing on the hour since it got its first dosage of nutes almost 2 weeks ago, before that they were in an inert peat moss mix. I've been using FoxFarm Grow Big at 2 tbsp. per gallon and she has been loving it. I had her growing into the light for a while as the PLL gives off no heat with the 120mm fan blowing on it. Yesterday I tied her up a bit so now she is bent at about 60-70 degrees, this isn't so much LST to 'override' the apical dominance (its already flowering so I don't want to divert growth too much), but more for better light utilization as i'm using PLL's and CFL's. It seems like I would get better use of my 2 foot PLL if the plant went along the length of the bulb rather than directly into it. I'll post some more pics soon, probably by the 5th.
~3 months, it had no nutes for the first 20 or so days hence the slow growth.

Sorry its been awhile, these are from today:
As you can see there had a little nute burn so I cut some of the worst fan leaves.
She still has a couple weeks to go but most of the lower seeds are mature, I couldn't get a good close-up pic of them or the plant at all for that matter as my cam wouldn't focus, its 12mp but the quality is still terrible.
