So here are those pictures that I promised
Left side: 120W
Right side: 90W
And here is a false-color image and a black and white image of some of the plants, since my Nikon D40 doesnt like the color of the LEDs...
 
And finally, my new Phire brand bong I bought 3 days ago...hits wonderfully. As my friend put it: "like breathing Antarctica"
  
feel free to comment

I <3 good glass (both the bong and the cam).
Have you tried to use auto white balancing on the D40 yet? I'd tell you how but you're going to have to check the manual for instructions as I'm used to Cannon gear...
Sweet looking plants as well btw.  The internode spacing looks pretty tight, they must like those lights.

update...the plants are doing pretty good...just vegetating
 
I have noticed a discoloration of some of the leaves...any idea what this might be?
 
and im pretty sure this is no big deal but i think i have trichoderma in the soil
any suggestions are welcome...and sorry for the brief update...I've been swamped lately with work so I'll do my best for now.
peace,

I would consider a mean green outbreak to be a big deal. That might be from my fungi background though. I hate that shit soooooo much.

I suppose those lights aren't causing the soil to dry out as much as it would usually with a warmer light. If you manage to destroy it, maybe keeping some aluminium foil or plastic over the top of your soil keeping light off it would help stop another outbreak. That shit'll spread like the plague.

I thought trichoderma is a beneficial fungi to have in plant soil...and yes i have a fungi background too and green mold is why i left the hobby for a while...
but yea I thought that trich is beneficial in the sense that it wards off other fungal problems...maybe im misinformed?

Is it? Oh right. I remember before there was orange stuff growing on the perlite on the top of my soil that was harmless algae according to a grower friend of mine.

Canna products and several other commercial products contain Trich. bacteria. The bacterium causes roots to grow and absorb nutrients better.
Any product containing Trichoderma bacteria or Vitamin B1 will help ease transplant shock.
Trichoderma are fungi that colonize in the root zone, crowding out negative fungi and microorganisms while stimulating root development and resistance to environmental stress. The result is a more vibrant, stronger plant.
Those are three comments about trich from Jorge's horticulture book. They seem to reference fertilizer that has trich in it. I don't know if that's different or not. But it looks like i was dead wrong about trich!

UPDATE: WEEK 5
The plants are doing ok, I am having some trouble with gnats but I'm treating them as instructed with Indoor Pharm by Pharm Solutions. The spray will burn the leaves if the light is too close...so I end up spraying, then raising the lights to the top position, and spray foliage with water every few hours for 24 hours.
They are currently between 8 and 12 inches tall, 5-7 nodes, and have all recently been FIM'd. I am hoping to give them 6-7 weeks of vegetative growth before inducing flowering.
 
here you can see the node spacing for one of the taller plants:
and here is a FIM'd apical meristem.
feel free to comment

Week 6 Update...Approaching the End of Vegetative Period
  
Doing very nicely
 
The tallest, 21 inches tall from soil level, 8 nodes below the FIM cut, and 3 branches after that.
    
Attempts at FIM...some successful, others not so much...but I did get at least 2 main tops from each cut.
I currently have a few scrawny looking plants in the 90W tent (the one with 3 plants. I believe this is mostly from burning of the leaves due to the gnat spray, and one very slight over fertilization. One of these plants is showing purple streaks on some of the stems, does anybody know what is causing this?
I have been using this mix of nutrients:
Fox Farm Big Bloom 2tbsp per gallon
Fox Farm Grow Big 2tsp per gallon
Blackstrap molasses a drop or two per gallon
I purchased purple maxx (snowstorm) and gravity. I am wondering how I should apply the purple maxx. I'm thinking cutting the Big Bloom in half, and cutting out the Grow Big and molasses completely...and adding purple max at half the recommended dose to the water, and if all goes well...increase the Big Bloom and maybe work in a little Tiger Bloom.
Lemme know what you guys think about any of this...
peace

Trichoderma can be a problem mold when you're budding though. Surely it's bad to have it there at any stage then.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!
Good to see this grow has been a bit more controlled! Very nice dude and those are going to get a little bigger than you think maybe. I don't think your last plant was that large when you put her into flowering but I may be mistaken. Either way congrats on this grow so far and I can't wait to see some budshots later on. Peace.

Ok...12/12 lighting has been initiated.
I just treated them with a very light dose of purple maxx with no nutes since the soil has bone meal and blood meal and mychorrizal fungi, and i wanna err on the safe side since a slightly underfed plant can be fixed pretty easily...overfed cannot be fixed so easily.
I took some pictures of them before I added the purple maxx, I mixed 1/2 tsp. per gallon of water and added a quart of this mix per plant after pre-watering with 1/2 gallon of pure water.
Left Side:
  
Right Side:
I have UVB CFL's for this grow...I'm wondering when I should put those in and how long i should run them a day. Any help with that would be amazing and in the meantime I will search around for any subject matter.
Now its just sit back and relax and hope all this falls into place haha
peace

Ooooh, purple maxx, fancy! Heard great things about that product, have you looked into using gravity as well?
As for the uvb, I wouldn't worry about setting them up until you start to get some buds in. As for length IIRC you should only run the uvb for 1/2 the light cycle (6 hrs). Don't put that in stone, I'll do some digging (i'm pretty sure i posted a UVB thread in the main cult forum when we first opened doors here) to see if I can find a definitive answer for you.
Your plants look beautiful and I'm looking forward to see what you can do with these LED lights. Who knows, you might make a believer out of me and make me go drop a 1/2 G on a light bank 
Good luck, can't wait to see those buds!

Rock on, I'll be using that myself when I put my plants through their flowering stage. Heard nothing but good things about it and i've been wanting to try it out for a long while now. Thankfully a buddy of mine already bought a bottle so I'll get to try it out for free hehehe.
