i made 4 settings in my box for easy light position change. when i first had the seeds in there i wanted to keep it up high because i hadnt had my fans yet and was afraid of cooking them. i lowered them quite a bit but i dont think the 2700spectrum is producing enough light for them and they are trying to reach for it a little too much.

i know cfls dont get too hot but it still makes me nervous. and the largest problem is the side where i had to switch to one bulb because the other one quit working shortly after i put it on the splitter.

only one of the plants is exceptionally taller than the rest, which makes me think already it could be a male. but hopefully all of them are girls and one is just a little taller and lankier than the rest of them.

this is my first hydro grow so im not overly worried about yields. i just want to get comfortable with this before i move onto harder strains to grow. so far it isnt near as bad as i thought it was going to be. but the plants are still young and not eating and drinking much yet.
