nice journal man, setup looking good =)
i deffinatly need ta go get some of those cfl fixtures your using. i hate how big and spaced out my lights are lol are they exspensive? haha
good luck with the sproutlings, iv heard MG soil isnt good to put seedlings in. iv never used it, just if you have problems with em in the future keep this in mind lol

ya i just switched out my big fan and put two computer fans in my closet. one is up high as an exhaust blowing out of some drill holes that i made. and the other one is at the bottom tilted upwards at the lights.... is 70 degrees too low for my grow room??? it seems to want to stay right around that temp.

70 is good, 75-78ish is ideal imo it could get down to like 65 maybe 55 befor it does any real damage to the plant. if its to cold in there the stems will turn a purpleish color.
n i need to get better ventilation, i jus have a small 5 inch fan blowing on the lights and plants and a big ocelating fan in the corner of the room that blows above the plants. n once or twice a day i open the door and put a fan blowing out of my window and another out the closet n i switch em to blowing in for a while after like 45 mins a hour(im growing in my bedroom closet) it gets like 95 in there without a fan no matter how cold it is out side
