This is going to get moved anyway into cultivation, where it should originally have been posted.

Your light is too high. Lower it, then raise it as the plants grow. Unless it's too hot.

if you dont have a fan in there i would add one for air circulation.

What is the point of good air circulation? A fan, I presume is necessary to keep the temperature down, as to avoid overheating the grow and ruining the entire project. However, I am confused as to why circulating hot-air would prove beneficial?

Every time you write this, and I read it, I think, "Cultivation? I thought I'm in cultivation???" and then I would go back to the index and look for cultivation and end up right back where I started... only to wonder where is this cultivation section Stinky frequently talks about.

Today I did the same thing when I read this post, and it finally ocurred to me that the posts had already been moved by the time I read them.

Helllllllooooooooo - anybody home?

(ventilation)well if there good exhaust system in place.. (circulation)the air circulation would strengthen the plants..and also mix up the cool air and hot air and replace the co2 around the leaves.
