mostly just a pic update... here are the plants in there new pots that they got transplanted into a couple days ago... this seems to have really helped with my soil dryness problem, i;m sure the new soil mixed has helped too.

the pics in order are just plant # 1,2,3,4 and then the last is the basic cabinet arrangement at the moment, need to refine some things, but feeling a little lazy atm! all in all, id say things are going pretty well... though #2 has its leaves a little shriveled a bit, I think the one of the lights was a little too close for awhile... and #4 has some tiny brown spots on the first set of leafs, it doesn;t seem to be getting any bigger so i;m just kinda ignoring it.

I've increased the number of liths when i did the transplant as well, here what is what now.

there are 6 x 23watt @ 6500k with 1600 lumens each in parabolic reflectors

then, the kinda X shapped pattern, on opposite corners there are 2 x 43watt @ 2700k with 2600 lumens each + 2x 23watt @ 5100K with 1600 lumens each. I am finding the 2 plants that are directly under the 2700K lights are producing a very noticably brighter coloured green on there leafs

On the plants without the 43 watts over them, they get doubled up parabolic reflectors to try and even it out a bit... i;m going to change it up a bit though as I;m finding it a little difficult right now to keep the lights arranged well... the parabolic reflectors are a little bit tricky to manage.
