So, is that just them stretching? the leaves moving up like that? that's called stretching? and, as for the white paint, flat, or glossy? which would work better? And can i just use a peice of wood that i paint, or does it need to be like.. some white plastic? And, that's a 10-4 on the tester and humidity guage.

Edit: Also, how can i set my sig? I cant seem to find it in the account settings... I want to place a disclaimer similar to yours(if you dont mind )
The sooner the better. Get at least a few CFLs goin asap.

Stretch? The stems grows quickly without growing new nodes because it's "searching" for light. It's trying to reach the light as quickly as it can, it needs that light. I'll get there any way it can as soon as it can if possible.

Flat white paint is best. Use cardboard and a can of spraypaint if thats the best you can do for em now. Once you put a large flat white surface next to some good lights you'll see, it GLOWS!

I bought a two piece temp and hum gauge from wallyworld too. The one goes outside one goes inside and shows all the readings type. It works great to get ambient temps and temps at plant height without having to move it around but one single will work fine.

You can copy and past my sig if you'd like but you wont have sig privs until you get 50 posts... sorry, read the rules bro, if not you just might shoot yourself in the foot LOL
