OK, for all those dying to see my photos:

Here is the first pic I took of Widow after about a week or two of having her:
08/04/08

As you can see there is some yellowing and not sure if it's noticeable but I also took some leaves off since I almost killed her by not feeding her water when she was in the rockwool. I am TOTALLY new at this and am learning as I go.
Another pic, same date:




Theses A LOT MORE where that came from lol, I hope you guys are ready for a lot of pics, might want to grab a bong or your favorite piece for this sitting

Haha! Thanks, when I went out to get the lights I did it at Home Depot and I saw these fixtures that caught my eye because they were all chromed inside and out, I figured it would be ideal for light reflection.. but again, I'm new so I just went with what I thought, plus the diamond plate does give it that "hardcore" look huh
