Looks perfect! If they could smile they would be in those picture.

can wait till my grow is as far as yours.

what height and power do you have it set at?
What are the ducts from top to bottom in your tent for?

Running it at 75% power and upping it around 5% a day (about 450w, it's not on a metered plug yet). I'm gonna keep this puppy at full power during flowering, just gotta get them used to it.

Probably won't see any real difference in the last two-three weeks of this run but it can't hurt...might end up with more mature lower buds. 25" from top of canopy to the light. I'd actually have it a little higher BUT that's with the ratchet straps fully drawn up....no more space. Next run I'll be going out more towards the edges of the tent since I've got the lights for it now and hopefully I won't need to let them be as tall.

Upping my pots from 5 gallon to 10 gallon for the next run, should help with some of the minor nutrient deficiencies I've seen...especially with the extra lighting added.

ah lol, good choice with HLG.

Oh @still_smoked forgot to answer your other question. The ducts down the side are because that tent only has one duct on the bottom side and I'm running that for intake direct from my dehumidifier on an inkbird humidistat. The two ducts running down the side are to cut down on the negative pressure and provide a source of fresh air when the dehumidifier isn't forcing it in... debating on removing one of those and just adding a small intake fan...

My space is just my home office and it's a south facing room with NO insulation and a humid AF crawlspace (1940's house)... so I struggle with temp/humidity issues. My tent is overengineered AF because of it.

Great choice for the price. I will be trying out the Scorpion very soon. This should solve the par centering problem some people talked about
