First, thank you to all who stopped in and those who have given advise. Very much appreciated.
So we have AGAIN changed the lighting as of now we have 4 26W GE CFLs day/blue lights and a little 15W florescent T6 tube that has been changed from the 11000K to a different tube that seems to be putting the bulk of its energy to the 600-615nm range from looking at it's spectrum chart; no other specs on that.
All the walls have also been lined with matte white/black panda sheeting as well as installing those cool, but painstaking little soda can reflectors that were suggested by syde, all very helpful stuff from everyone. This method of installing individual CFLs is very useful if anyone who is trying to do CFL grow on a bulb come, bulb serve basis if you catch my drift Although i do see this method a a problem when the lights are being hung as it can get crowded and clumsy looking; but cheap reflectors - bottom line no doubt:thumbsup:
In the ventilation department I have 2 fans that run at 35 CFM. Should I use the top or bottom as my vent opening? There are small cracks going places that escape the box so I plan to use both the fans either together working in the same direction(2@bottom blowing in or 2@top blowing out) or 1 fan blowing in/out and the other to use inside the box helping to give the plants some more air circulations. Im not quite sure what I plan to do yet.
I tested my pH with a saltwater aquarium tester and got the same reading of around 7.7 for the tap water I am using and the runoff coming from the pot. I hope this is wrong, I will try to get some pH test paper strips soon before I go and try to fix anything. For now I will use day-old brita filtered water for the plants until i find out the real pH of my runoff soil.
As of yet, the plants have not been separated to different pots. I am still concerned that they need a little more time to flourish and regain some of their strenth before i repot and restress them again. I'll take a pic of the room when I have a chance so you can see what it looks like now. Maybe ill wait to the first substantial looking leafage has spread..they look QUITE sad right now. very disappointing to find out that that halogen bulb was doing very little good and could of given me heat problems as well;this was my ONLY light on the seedlings for the entire first 4 weeks of their sprouting! ugg
