Still feeding at EC 1.6 MAX. That wasn't enough when I used Canna nutrients. it could be the bigger pots though.

Really nice job with the CFLs there hisser - seems like you're really getting the most out of them by keeping the plants really close. Your yields are as good as any others I can think of.
Can I just make one suggestion tho - I think it would be useful to sacrifice one of your circulation fans, and instead switch it a second exhaust fan. It seems that would be a more effective way of keeping your cab temps down a bit - at the moment you are just pushing warm air around the cab more by adding fans... rather than just getting rid of that warm air quicker.
just my 2 cents.
Really nice grow man - keep on trucking

Thanks for the kind words mate Wish I can add more exhaust fans as you suggested, sadly the space is very restricted for another one (outside of the cab). Before adding more circulation fans it was going up to 36-37C, now it never goes above 30C, not too hot for this strain. I'll try to get a stronger axial fan that can push more CFM, or switch to an inline fan once I get a bigger backup UPS.

Fair enough hisser - looks like you got it all under control man 
I recently upgraded my exhaust fan to a Panaflo 104cfm 120mm 12v pc fan - from an arctic ~70cfm 120mm and it has made a world of difference in my CFL mini-fridge - I would thoroughly recommend it although it is considerably louder. It has heaps more static pressure, which is nice, because it is slightly restricted by the light trap on the (probably slightly undersized) intake.
Peace

btw I hope this is an acceptable question and not in violation of any TOU/code etc (I'm kinda new here)...
Are these beans available for sale anywhere?
So far I have been "making-do" with bag (schwag) seeds, and I am SO keen to use what i have learned on some real badass genetics such as these

This is the one currently in use: http://www.cic-commonwealth.com.tw/FP-108M-DC.htm (the S1 model) costs around $8
Some that run on AC power can push 90+ CFM like this one: http://www.newark.com/ebm-papst/4658n/axial-fan-119mm-220vac/dp/47M2624 but it costs much more, still cheaper than inline fans though
I also found some very powerful 12CM DC fans that are used in Cooler Master & Corsair PSU's but the manufacture doesn't sell them in retail sadly you might be able to salvage some from dead/old units or on ebay.
For the passive intake I used 2x area of exhaust.
You better ask Andyo about the seeds, he's the breeder

Gave Advanced nutrients pH perfect Micro a try yesterday:
I've been using RootBastic in flower after I saw that A&B + Bloom Stimulator wasnt enough, even at EC 1.8 plants still looked hungry, the Atami bloom stim says you should use BloomBastic with it everytime, but since I don't have that I tried to replace it with RootBastic, but it looks like the buds are turning a bit leafy. So I'm ditching both rootbastic and bloom stim (sample bottle depleted) for AN micro (I still use SuperVit with every watering)

Thanks brotha joe, I'll cut them down at week 15 as I did previously.

Week 12:
The middle CFL started burning buds around it as you can see above, so I changed it to this one:
I'm going to have to Re-LST I think, unless the lamps stay cool & don't burn.
I overfed by mistake but flushed them, also got 2 days of shitty powercuts but looks like they're still taking it like champs 8D
3 moar weeks!

Thanks bro
Back to LST, also removed lots of damaged leaves, and I'm feeding A&B + SuperVit only now. The AN Micro was a bad idea, not saying its bad by itself:
Had terrible power cuts today too hopefully its the last day.
