bwinn, the HH in your new avatar is beautiful. A picture perfect plant!
I'll get some new pics of them on Saturday once I've turned in my final project and find out whether or not I get a Bachelor Degree!
Right now I've got the temps down to 85F, and I just gave them a full watering. Turns out the pH was at least a point lower than it should have been, and after a little trial and error I was able to get it back on track. So now my babies are fully watered, spritzed, pH balanced, and in their proper temp range. The last main problem is one that can't be fixed until I buy ventilation fans: The lights are WAY too far from the plants, and they're stretching their leaves up like crazy to get it. Hopefully once I install some vent fans I can bring the lights closer without raising the temps too much.
Back to work now.

hey man you definatley got to move those lights down to prevent stretching, since the cold air is on the floor cut an "intake" in a rectangle shape on the bottom of your box like 4 in. from the floor, it will feel weird doing but just cut out a hole starting at like 5 in. by 3 in. and work your way up this what i did for my cardboard box setup got my temp with 6 cfl's from 80's to between 72 and 78. also face one of the fans blowing out of you box so it sucks the hot air out.
hope this helps
