Well, things have been kind of slow. I have been keeping all of my plants on life support lately. I couldn't fire up my 600W closet until now. Have been waiting on the weather and a few other factors.
The plants are a lot smaller than they should be, which was intentional on my behalf.
I dry stressed them continuously to slow the growth down and also they endured a lack of adequate lighting.
Now I am through all that BS and here is where the fun begins!
I have them transplanted and placed in the flower closet. It will be about a week or so before I flip them to 12/12 and start flowering.
Right now, all of the plants in my 600W HPS flower closet are TGA strains. Also, they all range between 28" and 31" in height as of today.
Here are some pics and hopefully they all get prettier from this point on!

So here we are 10 days after being put into the flower closet, two days after beginning 12/12 lighting schedule. Look how much they have all filled in only after 10 days!
Can't wait, in approximately 60 days I will be trying some TGA SpaceDawg! and yes, I did take cuttings, and made sure they took root before putting them into the flower closet.

Little update. Now approximately 20 days after beginning 12/12.
I am very happy. I definitely have two very different phenotypes of SpaceDawg. I will probably continue to clone whichever one I like better. I have heard that the SnowDawg dominant phenotype is the better one, but I don't know if SnowDawg is the shorter or taller one.
Phenotype 1: Reasonably short vegetative growth plant. After switching to 12/12, this one stretched quite a bit.
Phenotype 2: In vegetative growth, looked very similar to phenotype 1, a short stocky plant. After switching to 12/12 there was virtually no stretch. This is preferable to me, but does not always determine to be the phenotype I want. I hope this does turn out to be my keeper, I prefer the lower stretch plants, mostly for convenience.
Here I have trimmed the lower branches on the whole crop in the closet. This helps with airflow, helps reduce the possibility of mold, helps control any bug break outs, and also helps the rooting system dedicate growth to the upper buds.
Here are a couple pictures of the whole crop. All TGA gear
 
With my 600W HPS 3' x 4' grow room, it is built utilizing all internal walls, which keeps the room warmer and reduces the extra color on the buds and leaves. I get a lot more color when I use my other closet which is built on outside walls, especially during the cooler months.
