yes I agree with platii 100% a fan is just as important as the light and nutes as soon as my seeds sprout i have a fan blowing them 24 hours a day this makes the stalks very strong check out my gro log and youll c what i mean so get that fan going man nothing worse than bad air flow around plants. Hot spots acure without air flow plus the fan also brings new co2 to your garden wich is very important, if you dont have enough money for bigger lights go to your local fish store(aquarium) and pic up a couple 3 foot florecent bulbs most of them carry about 30,000 lumans and at 12 bucks u cant beat it for the money a step up from that is the 125 watt florecents that you can pic up at home depot there great for beginers on a budget around 50 bucks there....
