1st Grow. Northern Lights

[TxChronic1]

I'm about 3 days into my first grow and heres what I have done so far. For the box got a 27l'' X 15w'' X 32''h shed like thing made my Black and Decker. I first started out by lining the inside of the box with Mylar reflective material and cutting a hole in the top for my 150W HPS light. I then mounted two cfl's one 27W and the other 30W. I also put in a and a 75W florescent tube. After germination I put the 4 seedlings into soil plugs and put the plugs into meri-grow organic soil. I am using flora nova grow for nutrients and I am currently watering the plants at 310ppm. Temp. is at 80*f and Humid. about 43%. The Seedlings have been under only the florescent lights and I was wondering how long I should wait before I turn on the high pressure sodium light. How does everything look? Suggestions?

Its been about 2 weeks now and there has been lots of growth. I also made some changes with the previous set up. Ive added another fan for more air flow, put the plants into separate pots, turned the HPS on, and ive moved the shelf down about 5in. I also just got a new plant (Katrina) that i am going to re veg. She is being fed just regular tap water. 2 of the plants are starting to wilt and lean over, this started happening as soon as i put the fan in, the 2 that are having problems are the ones that are right in front of the fan... Is the fan causing this? I am also going to be upping the nutrients to around 600ppm for early growth.
Temp. = 74.8
Humid. = 30%

get super thrive now that will help with stress for all ur plants when ever u transplant mix 3 to 4 drops in a gallon and it makes it so they dont stop growing because they get stressed during transplanting

Ok so heres whats been going on. I moved the cups to the right side of the box away from the fan and I moved the large pot to the left side. I just noticed some fresh healthy looking growth on one of the two that where having problems. I'm thinking gonna pull through and make it. Also I was looking through some old stuff and I found these two blue led lights that I used to have in my car that light up with the music. Would these help at all? I was also wondering if I filled a cup with water and put dry ice in it and then put the cup by the intake would this help boost CO2 levels and cooling?

i dont know if the CO2 idea works thats what i did didnt really keep up with it but it can help keep it cool and i dont think those lights will do much they might any new growth on the other one
