Well, it does more that circulate air. It is prob a moot point by now, you'll know next time, but the fans purpose is to blow towards, not onto, the plants to make it wiggle just a bit when growing. It helps make the main stem somewhat thicker and stronger, think about plants outside. Ur in flower now but next time.....

I tackled that prob too I put both my 4' double fluoro's in a hood I made. There is just a small chain on each side that hangs on hooks. It's pretty easy to raise and lower if needed. Plus, they sit on a shelf that is also adjustable.

You might want to look into this. You're using 20 and 18w CFL's so unless they just get uber freagin hot, compared to the two 40w CFL's two of my plants are with 2 inches from, they prob didnt burn the leaves. Probably didn't, just keep an eye on em, no worries. Not unless the leaves were touching the bulbs for more than a few hours.

Check out my grow log, its my first too

I made a few of the rookie goofs you did too and like I said, I'm growing with CFL's too, there just in addition to the 4'ers.

:S5: Good luck w/them buds
