Okay, changes! The reflector fence was too bulky and in the way, so I lined the wardrobe walls wil aluminium foil (yea, I know, mylar's better but foil's cheaper and easier to find! ).

I figured that more space would improve air circulation too. Next, I replaced the aluminium turkey pan reflector - it trapped too much heat underneath. Which brings me to the next point: wood for a light fixture, poor choice, wood warps!

The new reflector is a "cookie sheet" (also aluminium) which should trap less heat. Also, I made sure the ballast wasn't covered to make sure its heat rises to the top of the wardrobe.

I'll try to take tempreature samples to see how well this works out, the temps were up to 35,9 Celsius when I decided to make the change. Photos...KC's still bigger than the rest (since it's 9 days older); leggy 1 & 2 seem to be catching up, stubby is showing some developement...and looky here: one of the seeds I thought was dead has decided to pop out...I got 5 plants out of the bunch! Only 3 non-viable/dead seeds...to be expected I guess!

This is turning into one long, slow vegging period, but flowering will happen under 150 watts of HPS, I can't wait to compare the results to my prior all CFL grows!

:hippy:
