Grape Ape & Green Crack ( 1st grow )

I had posten this in the Newb section but decided if im keeping track of this, might as well share it with others & get help along the way i hope. Never grew anything in my life lol. but with the info packed in here, i have an idea as to what im getting myself into. this will be a legal grow as i am a Card holder =D. Im growing with Sunshine Systems LED & will soon buy a T5 setup from a local Hydro store & more LED`s. Got an Air King 6" clip fan running all day

Got my tent in the moring. not hard to set up (4x4x8)

Imo, thats a Great Tent. Throw a 400w in their and grow you 3 plants and be amazed your 1st grow. use the t5 for Vegging a mother and 2-3 clones. :D your half way their
 
Im not too sure on HID. i got sold on LED for some reason. Not those Ebay made in china LED`s. but at most i would spend $300 on lights. but im open minded so well see....
 
Nothing to big to update. Plants are looking really good. Leafs are starting to get big and fat. the plants look like they lean in to light. as if trying to get as much ligh as possible =) but im thinking about doing the Foxfarms treo of Nutes. it said its also for soil, any feedback on these ? ill post pics when im off work or maybe tomoro mornin
 


Since 1st of Feb. To now. These girls are getting big ! =D green crack seems to be doing better than grape ape. I'll post more info later. I found a fruit fly in the tent =O will be buying them pest strips, taking no chances on these sons of bitches
 
Took the ladies out for some real sunlight & fresh air for some pix not under the bright Ass LED. and I seen what looks like a small amount ( 1/2 a dime size ) of fuzzy mold. I washed the plants leaf with water. I'm pretty sure my humidity is a bit high since I get no heat from my light. I put a pest strip inside the tent to catch any fruit flies. Ugly little things. But can someone help me out ? Should I buy a dehumidifier ? I don't have a temp. Hygro. Meter but will get one next Friday. Any comments ? This is day 19 and these things Have more than trippled it's size. Stoked about the new addition :) Wendi looks exactly how I got my first 2 ladies & I cant wait for her to grow. Might start a nute feed in a couple weeks. I think it's a bit early for them but that's my 2 cents. Still a rookie here. But seems to be doing good right. Thanx to those who've watched. Its the beginning but patience is key so I've read.
 
Well even if no one post shit up im still doing updates. its been about 2-3 weeks since update and sinve then i topped both plants and have started 12/12.(3/7/11 day one of flower) im not looking to get much from these babies since flowering started early. lets just say this is more of like a test to see how growing is and what it actually requires. this has been more than fun and its been a long jouney to say the least.

Your setup looks pretty similar to mine. I think the tent is exactly the same. Do you find you have a lot of light leaks around the zippers especially?
I like the format of the door but I wish I had gone with one with at least the flaps over the zippers if not a Secret Jardin cadillac model
