FIRST CFL GROW - Successful so far...

Alright yall get ready for some updates...

I transformed my grow room so now I have two sheets in front of the closet that has mylar behind the door. Standing inside my grow room, I can't even see my hand a foot in front of my face. I added four 26w CFLs on homemade clamp reflectors. Also added another fan to improve circulation in the room, but my temps seem to be hovering around 85, any suggestions on how to cool that down a bit without cutting holes in my wall?

Three days ago I transplanted them and they've been growing very nicely since then. Two plants are nearly 13 inches and the plant with leaves that reach out wider is 11 inches.

I should be getting my 150w HPS tomorrow, so some pictures will be taken when I add that in for flowering. Will also most likely start LST tomorrow once the plants start to lose a bit more water and droop a little more, making them a bit more pliable.

Pictures of the room and plants! :weed:

I have temp problems too mang, bloody sucks! Can start using my 400w HPS until I sus it, I havent seen your setup but all i can suggest is using glass (which is surprisingly cheap) to make an enclosure of some type with fans for your bulbs. An idea ive had is putting a single cfl in a glass jar drilling a couple of holes in the bottom, putting a fan over the neck and the ducting them. Bit of effort but could see it working?
