thanks a lot bloodbrother just what i wanted to hear. this morning was the first time i watered them in the last 2 - 2.5 days. i woke up this morning and the pots were light and dry feel and by eye. yes from my understanding they are rooted clones. yes i have a fan running at the top of the canopy on low speed. i have the light about 1 ft away from the light but i don't feel much heat at the canopy probably due to the fan running maybe i can drop the light another 2 - 6 inches.
