Whats up??

Hopefully I dont cover some things other people did...

Agreed with all that they stretched a crazy amount! You got more CFLs which is always better... Next transplant you can bury the long stems all the way to the first set of leaves. Also to fix those thin spaghetti stems all you need is a small fan blowing on them 24hrs. It will thicken their stems and wont need support.

Another thing. I only saw the small fan in the middle of the box. Is that the intake?
Remember hot air rises so keep your exhaust high up on the box and the intake low. Have you read about negative pressure? It would be better if you flipped your intake fan around and put it up top with the other one and had them both exhaust. Leaving an open "passive" intake that draws air in without a fan.

One last thing! That pc psu has got to go. It is creating extra heat and drawing way too much power for only some pc fans. Plus you have all that extra wire taking up space. You would be much better off finding a 12VDC charger like for a cell phone or anything. Match up the mA rating on the charger to the pc fans rating and just splice the wires together and secure them.

You want the air in your cabinet to be replaced about every 5 minutes (correct me if im wrong). So calculate the CFM of your cabinet and find the fans that will do the job.

Ive also grown with MG potting mix. Works great so dont let anyone tell you otherwise. Its not the best but it works fine. Add about 25% perlite to that MG potting mix and it will be fine. My experience with MGpm was it was a tad bit acidic so when I would mix my nutes and water I would just PH the mix a little lower than I would. Think it has something to do with the pieces of pine bark in it.

This is such a fun and rewarding hobby and I hope you do great! Good luck.
