I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more

So I havent been to rollitup for awhile and through the ups and downs here I am. While I was away I finished creating an autoflowering kc36 x great white shark. Unfortunately after leaving my southern apt for 6 months with no AC my 300-400 seeds died. I got maybe 6 to grow and out of the ones that survived I got males

Well Heres what I have now. After losing all my seeds and being the broke ass I am I went on the hunt for bagseed..no easy task in a town that only smokes good pot. I found a random in a bag of some really purple buds and another in some average bud. Those have been growing since dec 1st. The seed from the purple hasnt shown any sex but the other is male.

I have a friend that used to grow bud but has switched to mushrooms. He gave me ten seeds that hes calling OG # 18. I guess he had two power failures inside of a week and they hermed. Im hesitant to grow them but since they hermed from environmental factors Im going to go for it.

I have big goals for my next grow( 600w, nft, purple wreck and dr grinspoon) but I need to get through this one for funding.

As far as my lighting goes I could def use some feedback. AS of right now im vegging under 2-26watt 2700 and 2 26 watt daylight cfls. I also have a 250 watt digital hps and a 150 watt magnetic hps. My box is 2x3x5. Ive used the 250 in there perfectly but I want to use everything I have. Ive considered running both inline in the cooltube and only running the 150 for a few hours a day to control heat. Ive also considered running them inline in a verticle setup with no hood.

So my question would be
* are there any risks associated with running two bulbs so close together.
*would you run both bulbs?
*dual vert cooltube or dual horz cooltube and reflector?

Lights and previous grow pics

Well thanks for all the responses... or not so much.

Ive decided im going to run both lights inline in a horz setup. I set up the 250 watt but im going to wait to add the 150 till flowering. It needs a new bulb and Ill have to wait till jan 5th to get one. Im going to replace it with a CMH ive seen good things and think itll be a good combo with the 250.

I have also transplanted the og18's I put 3 into straight coco and 5 into 60/40 ffof and coco. In two days the ones in coco have overtaken the ones in soil mix so I think all of the keepers are going to be in 1 gallon pots with coco and perlite.

Overall things are going well and the big girl has really taken to the light increase. Im planning to switch my lights on jan 5 so check back. Lots more to come

The growth on my big plant is really exploding under the hps.The plant is so bushy the leaves have nowhere to grow. It has 8 main branches coming off 2 inches of stem and those branches are making branches. Its going to work perfectly in scrog once it starts to stretch.
As far as the og goes its looking like only 3 or 4 are going to make the final cut. Im gonna weave in the big plant and 2-4 ogs into the screen depending how big they get when I switch to 12-12. The other OG girls im gonna flower under cfls. Its not ideal but some bud is better than killing them.

SO ANY THOUGHTS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS, OR SUGGESTIONS WELCOME. anyone running anything similar?
