Rasta,
Thanks dude!
As to the soil... well, I guess I can re-plant them... but I think it would be better for them to grow a little bit more... they seem too fragile to get transplanted now... I think.
As to the fresh air... well, I'm going to try and improve the airflow... but in my house, airflow is pretty good. I mean, I constantly get a good breeze from one side of my house to the other... but anyways, I'll try and help in that aspect a little bit.
Right now, I'm going to try and build a 'cone' for a 18" floor fan... Hopefully, I can get good airflow with this setup and it won't be so noisy as the fucking leaf blower... ARGHHH!!!! The leaf blower!!! It's driving me insane!!! Insane in the membrane!!! Insane in the brain!
I'll update soon,

Ideally you should repot A.S.AP. It will be impossible to seperate the toot systems of those two in a few weeks.. You could just rip up your deformed one if you wanted to wait a bit to repot.. but if you want to help them grow faster then you should do it now. Simply cut the bottom off a 2 liter and place it around your seedling then push down and pull your root ball up.. I wouldn't think the roots even have much mass to them, and have confidence that you could do it completely stress-free. For soil: Pick up a bag of peat moss, and a bag of perlite, mix it 50/50. This will be perfect for the young plant.. shape a hole in your saturated mix and place your babies in carefully and cover the top wth a little more of your soil mix, they will love you for it. For airflow I reccomend taking one of your fans and tying it up in a garbage bag, then you can rip holes in the garbage bag near the front and back of the fan. Then you can buy a long ass peice of dryer hose and possibilties will be limitless... you will be able to feed the intake tube out of ANY window in your house, plus it's easy to hide if you have visitors... just scrunch up the tubing and put the fan in your grow room! :D

Yo Rasta!
Dude, please elaborate a little bit more on the fan/garbage bag thing....
I take a fan... let's use a pedestal fan for clarity's sake.
Ok, so I take this pedestal fan, and I put a garbage bag over it. Completely covering it. Right?
Then I... I poke holes in front and back? So, then, I hook-up the dryer hose to the bag... ??? Got it right?
Or is it::: I place the bag so that when the fan turns ON, the bag fills up with air... Then, I place my dryer hose at the end of this bag... Is this it?
Rasta, thanks for all the replies dude... I know this is going to be a kick-ass grow...
I'm experimenting with the bag right now... I just built yet another one of my super-duper fan cones and it doesn't work. !!!! Arghhh...!!!
I'll check back in 15 minutes... :) Thanks Rasta!

1. Prepare your intake/exaust tubes...
2. Grab a regular ol' desk fan from the drug store...
3. Get yourself a garbage bag, cut a hole with a pair of scissors at the bottom of the bag to feed the wire through...
4. Pull you wire through...
5. Tie up the entire fan with the wire feeding out of it's base.......

Yeah!!! That's my homie!!!
Ok dude... I'm following you... I'm reloading... :) :) :) :) :) :)

6. Start a hole with your fingers on the back of the fan, then do the same on the front.
7. Work your dryer hose to fit the holes and wuala fresh air. You'll know if you did it right when you smell the exaust... It should smell like outside :D
Let me know how it works!
Peace

Rasta dude...
My friend, I'll get to work right now. I'll give you an update... about 15 minutes...
Wait... I need to go to Walgreens to buy some big trash bags... the ones I've got are too small for the fan I've got.
I'll should be updating my status in about 60 minutes... :)
THANKS dude! I'll let you know in a while. ;)

Rasta,
Ok, here are two pics of try #1.
I placed the dryer hose off-center on purpose, because in my fan, in the front-center of the grill, it has the logo of the company... and on the rear, it has the motor protruding.
So I thought airflow was going to be hampered by it. I'm going to re-do the thing with another trash bag... with the ducts (dryer hose) on-center. Update in a couple of minute. :thumbsup:
-turtle420 :cool:
PS: Hey Rasta... I see in your pics that your dryer hose is like 6 inches in diameter... I'm probably off... but anyways, what's the diameter? I'm using a 4" duct... ??? :stoned:
PSS:... Hey dude, this icon :rasta: has your name. :thumbsup:

Fuckin' awsome :D You did right by having the duct off center... I'm usin a 6" tube, but it really dosen't matter what size it is.. because the fan's tied up in a trashbag the only source of air it has is from the intake tube, so every bit of air exausting is from oustide. You don't even need to have a powerful gust of air... as long as you can feel a light breeze or temperature difference when you place your hand next to the exaust duct, you've done good :cool:

Ok, update...
I've cut-up the 1st trash bag, then replaced it with a second one. The second one, I placed the ducts on-center, and, well, um, kind off blew less.
So, I'll cut-up this bag again, and the re-do it with a 3rd one. On that one, place the ducts slight off-center again, and I was thinking of playing a little bit with 'spacers' for the ducts... so they're not 100% against the fan. I think it might help to give them about 0.5" or 1" between the duct and the fan.
I'll try this, to see how it goes. Tomorrow. I'm just too stoned right now.
I hope this works... I was thinking that maybe I can buy a smaller fan... like the ones on your pictures. Tomorrow. :) Maybe that has better performance.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed... I'm telling you, that cabinet is pretty hot.
So, as it stands, RECAP:
I'll install the RastaFan for fresh air exchange with my windows... hopefully I can get a 6" duct.
I'll install my tower fan horizontally (have to build the stand for that) so it blows air on top of the plants.
I'll try and get some switches for the leaf blower, try and get it on a lower speed (less noise)... I need to have that reflector cool.
Thinking, I'm thinking....
