newbe needs help

[f ing clueless]

Heres the skinny. I've got a 3x3 box with 2 125w flours giving off 18000 lumes mounted on the side. Two computer fans and some foil lining the box. I have a timer keeping it at 18-6 and my babies are 8 weeks old 4 of them with one retard that i'm keeping for shits and giggles! My biggiest has dry leaves and yellow spots and all of them are short and fat! I water every other day and fertilize once a week with tomato food. Question is why are they so short is that ok? and is the leaf thing normal?

I know KBS growers that use that stuff and it works for them. You should not have any problems using it. Space blankets from wallmart work too. They are made from Mylar and are cheep.

If you want the plants to grow a little taller then raise the lights they will stretch for the light after about a week.

HardDon gave me a harddon time bout the description.
This material seems to work very nice for my Arena :cool:

Reflectix® is a 5/16" thick, seven layer, reflective insulation
Two outer layers of aluminum foil reflect 97% of radiant heat. Each layer of foil is bonded to a tough layer of polyethylene for strength
Two inner layers of insulating bubble pack resist conductive heat flow while a center layer of polyethylene gives Reflectix® high reliability and strength
Reflectix® reflects the sun's rays in the hot summer months. It also retains interior heat and helps to eliminate potentially damaging ice dams during the winter months
