So heres a little update on how my adventure is going:

The plants are doing alright i would say. I hooked up the Y splitters and put 4 more 75w (equivalent) CFLS to go along with my other 4 100w (equivalent) CFLS and im liking the setup alot. (pics below)

Leaves are turning yellow and brown so im thinking i still have a PH problem.
I have aquarium ph down, but i dont know how much i should use....anyone know?

Aslo Im having a small problem with my fan setup. i had a square walmart plastic fan and it was quiet. but i wanted to put the fan halfway inside the box and seal it off. So i went out and got a round 8 inch fan from home depot, but its way too powerful even on the lowest setting.

So now i have this huge hole in my box for a fan and too much airflow on my plants. The leaves of the plant in front of the fan get pushed up or down pretty badly.

I also have 3 holes in the back of the box at the top that are for ventilation. But im thinking i want to find somthing i can put over them that lets the air out but not so much odor and light. I just dont know what would work best.

Sorry if im rambling...i just got my first vape and im zonin....
