I don't think there's anything to critic. You are off to a good start. I would suggest you get some extra lighting for when they grow up though. Good Luck :)

Actually, if your temps are ok, you may be able to lower the lights to get them even closer. Do you know if the bulbs are 2700K or 6500k? It's recommended to use the cool 6500k for veg.

It looks like you're growing in 2 litre bottles, if so you may wanna cover them in aluminum foil to stop light getting at the roots. And, as already mentioned, definately get those lights closer. Good Luck.

Another thing :) that's a 90w grow, not 600 - I know about the equivelance to incandescent lights, but that's marketing talk. Read up on Lumens as that's more relevant than watts.

the only thing that realy sticks out is your pots.. you need to get them out of those coke bottle and into some regular pots... you dont want any light getting to your roots.. and thos bottle are gonna be a bitch to transplant from..

The tin foil could become a problem later on when more foliage starts to appear. They can creat heat spots i beleive and burn the plant

hot spots are usually caused by the foil reflecting radiant heat energy, not the light focusing kind of burning (like a mag. glass on a bug trick) tin foil reflects heat as well as light, if he uses cfls for a grow, the only risk from tin foil would be a fire from a short, and maybe the box getting to hot.

If I were you I would also start on building a bigger box, they will outgrow their current location quickly.
