Here is an update to my grow.
My Dames are doing well, no stress or signs of over-watering/nuting. The stalks are VERY strong and ridgid due to the Oscillating fan. I alternate the speed from low to medium every other feeding.
I have a few more adjustments to make as well as additions to the room to make it complete. I.E. activating the intake and exhaust fans, painting the room Flat White, and light-proofing the door.
Beyond these few alterations and enhancements, my Dames are doing well.
To add, this closet is in the attic of a 3 story house, so it WILL get pretty hot up there in the heart of the summer months. I am not TO concerned with heat as I have a HUGE House Fan to help with extracting old air.
Any comments or insights will be greatly appreciated.

The Dames are doing well. I flushed them throughly with water only this feeding. All of the sprouts are moving along nicely.
I purchased digital thermometer/humidity reader to keep an accurate eye on the temps/moisture. Once installed the device read: 77 degrees / 38% Humidity
I swapped out the GE 'Sunshine' 5000k 48" fluoros for the Philips 'Daytime Deluxe' 6500k 48" fluoros @ 10pm tonight. I be keeping a close eye on how the sprouts respond.
I am still on the 24/0 lighting cycle, but I still need to 'Light-proof' the room for the future.
My future additions will be a 400/600w HPS fixture, 5 gallon containers, and possibly a Humidifier.

I just peeked in on my dames and discovered the temp. to be 81 degrees and the humidity 42%:( If this is any indication, my Dames are in for quite a HOT summer down the road. Since it is only spring, and the outdoor temp. is 68 degrees today:(. I can only imagine what the temps will be in the coming months.
Any suggestions beforehand on how to avoid the BROILER room temperatures of summer? As it stands I only have the one 48" fixture running.
Note: this is before I have activated the intake and exhaust fans. Will the function of these fans help to alleviate heat concerns? Or will I need to take different measures?

No adverse changes, the Dames are doing fine. On the topic of the heat issue; I will have to run the House Fan more often than not on the days where the temps soar. The temp/humidity was 81/42 when I arrived home so I turned on the House Fan while I was cleaning out the 2nd closet and the temps dropped drastically to 74 humidity 36:thumbsup:
Also, I measured the larger closet next to the current Veg. room. This closet measures: 7'6" High X 9'6" Wide X 7'6" Deep
