Update
The tent is in full veg swing the plants are loving their home
Added some water in the bucket to make the humidity rise above 40 %
I've taken a few more clones and have added a cfl I added a new Helea compressor air pump
And re routed the air lines , I'm waiting for my other ten to arrive so I can chuck all my clones in there
Things are looking great I've notched that the ph rises slightly over so I'm adjusting it as I go along I also added a remote sensor that is monitoring my temps and humidity levels , it's on a ir screen that sends the info to another part of the house to save me from going in and out of the grow room over and over during the day
Currently on 18/6 veg mode
Can't wait to flip these babies
I upped my feeding schedule to the mild growth stage
Using general hydroponics nutes (grow bloom micro )
Grow them big Aussie purp

thanks for stopping by wombat yeah its starting to take off ive noticed my temps have been really low at night due to the cold weather i invested in a small heater fan and a electric thermostat to control the environment in the grow room that should fix things up also noticed little white mites im hoping its not spider mites but will look into it more closely no real big damage yet but will sort it out i was going to get some neem oil and water it down and put it in my res if i can do that ? but on the forum reading up on things
anyhows all the best

Hi aussiepurp
just came across your thread.... i am subbed
i recently bought a single unit waterfarm just to trial...before i buy the 4 unit ACS that you have.... using for mother plant only at this stage....
I am in oz and bought my waterfarm from an online shop in The Netherlands....i have the euro version which is all black unlike the US version you have.... there is also an aquafarm which is same as waterfarn...only bigger....it has a 45 lt capacity per unit... i found the waterfarm much cheaper from NL as you are exempt from paying the 21% VAT (tax).
cheers mate..

Another awesome update my babies are in total veg mode an explosive growth rate
I am airing for my new tent to arrive so I can get these babies fired up in bud mode
I'm going to take a few clones etc off these ones and save them as mothers or I might just even keep one of these I'm not sure I'm definitely seeing a indicator pheno here on both wwxbb but looking good so far

yeah im very lucky the roots are showing the signs mate of a happy plant its been cold up here and im still waiting for my clones to root but heres hoping i might get a heat mat and another thermostat for it , last night i had to dial down the ppms as they were way too high and some of my leaves were showing nute burn so i dialled them down to 400 ppm as they were on 1800 ppm and they were dark as ive noticed they are drinking heaps as my res is half way every 2 days or so its a 49ltr one ive got a 200 ltr res too but im going to put them together later on this week i just got the float valve and the 1/2'' grommets in the mail so that will keep me busy but on an over all the plants are doing great im very pleased so far i got told by the courrier company that my order will be in this week with my grow tent etc ,
so im happy to have it all rocking going to fill that tent up with clones and mothers

Looking good aussie mate 
I've had mother plants start to flower out in Veg mainly because they were running out of root space, a lot of genetics have this particular trait of once they were root bound regardless of light hours they flower away, so I'm not sure in your setup bro being hydro as I'm in soil but the plants could be sensing they are running out of root room
The roots are looking spot on though

I reckon the look cool for cloning n small veg but says
perational Power Draw: 45w
Coverage area: 3 sq ft.
150w HID (High Pressure Sodium/Metal Halide) equivalent for a fraction of the operating expenses.
And might get in the way of the bigger lights coverage.
If ya running 400s or 600s. I reckon ya much better off adding extra of them at that price or if smaller lights r what ya wana go for maybe buy 2 or 3 more of thoes giant cfls for the same price and that way least ya can get em down low between branches to help the lower buds.
Certinaly sure it has its uses but i reckon the lights ya got now r way better
