WOO! Temporary fix until I can go to my local Homo Depot!
Picture:
1.) Focused 3 lights (2 42w 27k, 1 27w 65k = 6950 lum) on 1 plant (bigger of the two) and turned my lighting cycle back to 18/6. That's the fan at the top of the picture.
2.) Threw a white towel over a broom handle to create a makeshift curtain for now.
3.) Put the 2 seedlings and another plant under a 27w 65k to hold them over til tomrrow.
4.) The plant as it stands now (reference pic, because it's going to expand, hopefully!)
Future plans:
1.) Update all light fixtures to Y splitters.
2.) 3 27w 6500ks + 1 42w 27k on the main plant, and another 4 lights (same setup) on all of the seedlings.
3.) Once the seedlings develop more (read: I get more money), each seedling will get it's own 2 lights.
If you have any other suggestions, you know I'm all ears!

Soil looked 95% dried out yesterday, so I planned on watering today. When I walked in, i noticed the little one had it's leaves pointing up (sign of underwatering?). picture 1 is how they looked right when I walked in. I pulled the leaves down and I saw what looked like a burn mark on one of the leaves? pic 2, if anyone can diagnose it? Same thing happened to the bigger plant (pic 3) and I also think it's showing preflowers? (pic 4)
