Good stick to Veg. And what i mean by 12/12 thats the time you keep your lights on and off ,So 12/12 for flowering ,18/6 or 24/0 for veg. You dont have to move your lights stack somthing under the pots to make them closer to the lights. I said fill the plants up the rest of the way because it will make the stretch on the one plant that has sprouted less stretchy lookn .But its up to you . Also with the foil you might creat heat spots on your leaves and burn them I would get like 4 spray cans of flat white and just start spraying the whole inside of it (With out your plants and bulbs and fans in there of course)

thanks guys..all of your comments are so useful...
:) i know what's mean by 12/12..but i just dun understand how can a plant go into flowering when it only has 2 leaves...but anywayz..i figure the plant can grow up to at least a feet (i'm not sure how wide it will be) so i will veg it to the max that my box can take
Can you copy the link of the thread u talkin about to me? I'm curios to see how it works out.
SPRAY IT WHITE...STACK THE POT UP...such a simple solution and my bugger mind never though of it...LOL...it took me nearly an hour to do the wiring,off the light,wait it cooled,took out the bulb and carefully rewire it again.! I will go and get some white spray tomorrow.
but i'm not sure bout filling the pot up..cos it's so much work..and i scare i will hurt the small baby.
i'm very sensitive with the temp nowadays...what do you guys think? temp ranging from 75-85k..is that alright??

So i have rearrange the lights and spray the whole inside of the box white. Everything is going quite well except today i realized the small leaves (first two) of both plants are growing bit strangely. One of them is getting real dark and seems to be dried off at the tip. the other is getting really yellowish..i'm not sure the pic is clear enough..can anyone tell me what cause the probelm of this and how bad this situation is?? thanx
the plants are about 10days old by the way
Questions from a grower wannabe
My 2nd attempt is anothe failure..the leave grow yellow and eventually dried up...When i pulled out the plant...i can feel that the soil is actually really dry.So i'm just wondering did i over water it or is the water not enough...although i used the term "spray"(just bcos i'm using a spraying bottle)..i actually did "Wet" all the root area...usually twice a day(cos the soil is really dry....so do base on ur expertise...did it died bcos of too much water??

too little, pour like... half a cup/quarter cup depending on pot size maybe more maybe less

Most people run the veg stage with lights that are not needed yet.
If somenone wouldn't mind telling me how to post picture's I'd be able to give you an idea of what 2 23w cfl's will do for veg.
the bloom stage however is a diffrent story. I to have a handbuilt peice of furniture that is 2x2x6, that uses a 250w hps. With an inline fan running now and then..(on a timer), my temps are never above 6f of ambient temp. I'm usually around 75-78f. My home is settled at 69 most of the time.
FYI.....your lights don't need to be hanging like that at this point of growing.
To be honest, blunt, and/or clear....your most likly not going to need to hang your lights like that at all with the amount of room you've given to your garden.
You have more surface area on the side of the bulb then at the tips. Understand?
2x2 is not enough space to make you want to waste the energy of the lights like that.
Good luck

Pour water, don't spray. Can I ask what those kinds of free hanging light fixtures are called?
