Another thing that just came to mind... How could I turn this into a screen of green (SCROG?) grow? If one of these turns out to be male, the other female, I would scrog the male, and mother the female.

Looking great!
Cloning is simple, take a cutting two or three nodes from the top of a side branch. Stick it in a rockwool or rapid rooter cube with rooting gel or powder. Wait and voila, clone.
The only cheap way to be able to achieve the static pressure needed by a carbon scrubber is a squirrel cage blower. If you go to a HVAC store and ask for a used furnace blower, you will be able to get one pretty cheaply. Just make sure to get one with enough cfm to exchange the air in the room a minimum of 1 time per 5 minutes.
I'm glad you decided to use the heater, It will defintly speed up growth. For the temp, I would move it doen about 5 degrees to 75F, which is about the maximum temp for optimal growth.
I wouldn't use a scrog screen without using clones personally. If one of your plants turns out to be male, you will be left with a huge hole in you canopy wasting space, contrary to the main goal of the scrog. If you go clones next run then I would defintly try it out, it can be a huge difference.

Going to try out cloning today! My plants are large enough that I want to start budding them...
Do I need the cubes, or could I use another solo cup with vermiculite?
EDIT: I'll just buy the cubes, but not until I get a hydroponics system figured out for my cloning and for my mother. Need to do it soon! And on the cheap.

Flood and drain for the Mother. Easy to make and build fairly cheaply.
For the cloning check out the ez clone thread and just make one of those yourself. Can also be done fairly cheaply and easily.

Growing in this area is too much of a pain. I am going to make a clone for a friend, but am just going to finish this grow out until I have better facilities.
Here be how things are currently looking:
This is the plant on the right:
And the plant on the left:
It looks like the left plant is a male, and the right plant is a female, right?

Very nice lopan. I can't wait to see more. It's too bad you decided to scrap it after this, I think we could build you a good grow space with some time and effort.

lookin nice and big, but the leaves look toasted, glad you were able to correct that problem  they look very busy, are there any preflowers yet after a month of growth?

Thanks man. It is not that I want to scrap the grow, but that the space in mind (the attic), is no longer an option. I do have a spare closet (the one that I used for my mushroomery), though the size (5.29' L x 3.29' W x ~9' H) seems less suited for this type of a grow. What do you think? I actually have _a lot_ of time on my hands, right now! Of course, I would go with hydro this time around, but I am not sure if I have the space for a clone / mother section and a fruiting section, which is what I would like to do.

The leaves look toasted? All of the new leaves (just about any since my last complaint about brown leaves) are a nice dark green, with the occasional yellow leaf tip. There are a bunch of preflowers - they showed up pretty early on. The plant is practically covered in buds.
I didn't want to ask this early on, but, any estimate on dry yield? This was taken on the same day as the above bud image.

The strain is White Widow.
Anyway, the plant almost died. I checked on it today and the temperature was 42F - the heater had died from, I suppose, being on 24/7 for the last month. Put a better space heater up there, on a 4-hour on, 15-minute off cycle, and hopefully that will save it...

No, but numerous very unhappy leaves.
Some of the plant reminds me of cold cabbage.

I am about to move the plant from the attic, to a closet. Since the closet is so small, I can not bring the light, or heat would become an issue - I will now be using two 43w CFLs, in a 12 / 12 schedule.
I know that this isn't ideal, but it is better than having a dead plant!
