Everthing looks good, However the chiller and the air conditioner are needed, You need complete control to get the best results IMHO. I didnt have a lot of time to read through your thread completely or post a proper reply, However I will stop back in soon as I have a little more free time.
Until next time be safe and take care!

HAPS is right about the neem. your supposed to spray it on once a week and rinse it off 2-3 days after use or you'll cloge the pores of the plants.
"the windows sliding hole is about 1" square"
I'm not sure what you mean by that but go with a bigger AC than you think you need. It'll save you alot in electricity and extend the life of the unit not mention the better cooling capacity.

ok i took these with my crap camera phone. my 2 giant bushes i had growing in soil dried up when i switched em over, so im trying to salvage them and will do a transplant with special soil.. as you can see i have a ghetto a/c setup 
all i had on me was trash bags and duct tape and ducting. im running a test run on trying to clone for the 1st time. more to post soon..

they will grow for another week+ when you go to flower... so if they are already "getting pretty tall", its probably time to go to flower.
you can leave the lights off for 36 hours before you start 12/12.
this helps the plants know they are in flower now, not veg, and they wont stretch as much the last week.
GL! they are looking good.

lookin good from what i see plump! are you running at a high pH on purpose - or is it because you think your pH gauge is not showing the correct pH?
i'd get that checked out and make sure you're not at that high of pH. in hydro and DWC you should be running 5.4-5.8... i tried to keep mine 5.4-5.6 most times and got great, green health from that pH
let me know how it going, but all seems well. did you loose your soil grow?

the right side shows optimal pH levels for soil grows. it seems that's where you've had your pH. you will see a great improvement with your plants if you are pH'ing for hydro when you are using a hydroponic system (the left side of the chart.)
i just started my 2nd grow.... im pulling out my DWC bucket system and going soil (and organic) this round. why? if i pull the DWC res, water chiller, and all the air pumps, etc - i can install my 600W HPS lamps side by side on light movers and run 24 plants instead of 12. im basing this grow off of a thread Blazeoneup did on soil... he mixes a soil that he claims doesnt need any nute from clone to harvest. im going to be using a light nute solution with mine... but i liked the idea of not having to, and doubling my production. have a stop by if you are interested - the link is in my signature.
so are you having any troubles on your current hydro? lets see some pics!!
