Many plants will show sex, in veg, once mature. Nothing to worry about there either.

The occasional deformed leaf is nothing to worry about...

Not sure what you mean. Were you thinking of different levels, or vertically divided compartments? I'm most likely going to add a shelf on the left side for seedlings and clones, at some point.
No, I meant that if the aluminum and other materials are cheap enough that I might be able to use that to divide big rooms into smaller rooms. What did the building materials run to build it the size you did? Cheaper than buying a tent the same size?

Not a problem. Congratulations, it's a girl!

Thanx SME! All of a sudden, I feel like passing out Chocolate Cigars with little Pink Bands!
Okay, got it. The cost of materials to build the my veg. chamber ran about $295, not including Lighting, window fan and power strip which were another $150. I guess the advantage is that it's more sturdy, secure (if lock and hasp are added), can be more easily cleaned and looks much more appealing than a grow tent.
I'm actually thinking of putting together a how to instructional PDF or Video which would include all the measurements and sourcing locations for the materials, and selling it on line for a minimal cost ($10-15) in order to help recoup my grow startup costs.
If you wanted to divide a grow area, the cherry/light brown panels (fake) were from Home Depot at $20 each (they also sell a white/dark brown panel for $15 each, along with a good selection of other designs at various prices.), and you could probably use 2x4" (split into 2x2") or 2x3" studs which are cheaper than the 1x1" Aluminum Tubes (21' Tube @ $17.22 each).
Cheers,

I decided at this point it was time to thin out the current crop in the Veg. Chamber. Moe was moved into the Flowering Chamber to determine sex. The UK White Widow shown below was destroyed, primarily because of its extremely slow growth. This left four plants in the Veg. Chamber.
