I used to have a similiar set up Looking good man.

What are your temps like friend? Have you thought about putting up something else besides tinfoil for reflectivity? There are these nifty smaller round hood built to contain the light/heat of a smaller bulb meant for chick/ducklings that work great maximizing your type of set up.

Any idea what the strain is?

Who knows how much you will yield friend, if you do it right and take care of them they will take care of you.

Any background info on the pink panther? Genetics? Flowering time?

nice little setup. the tin foil might not be the best long term setup, if you could find a large cardboard box and spray paint the inside walls white. with that done it would be better for the leaves since there will be no hot stops from reflections.

as for 12/12, if you can grow taller and lsd the plant you wont be disappointed. let it veg some more, pull the branches down and try for more colas, if you have the space. if you have height restrictions lsd training will help increase yield while keeping it short and manageable.

if you want any help building up your cab up I have a thread that will be pic heavy of upgrading my cabinet.
