Ok so here are the questions I have!!!
- My closet is 4x8 and I have 2 400watt lights. I have to keep my inline fan (440CFM) and filter on to keep the temps in the low 80's but the humidity won't go above 20% with my humidifier in full blast. Tried setting my inline on 15min timer intervals but it gets in the low 90's when I do. Any Suggestions? how much will low humidity affect my plants?
- How many more nodes should I wait before I should top these plants?
- Keeping PH at about 6.0 (should it be higher/lower)
- Water from tap comes out @ 150PPM when I add calmag and grow big I get 400PPM. Does this seem correct for my small plants?
- Any other suggestions?

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!

Looking good. Not that it will make a huge difference, but CFL's throw their light from the sides. If you could turn the bulbs on their side you'd get better use of the light.

WEEK 4:
Thanks for the advice guys I will be putting my CFLs side ways from now on. Also very nice setup GardenGardian the plants look great! I have also decided to top the plants but I also introduced a little LST with some tape to really pull the nodes out. These pictures are week 4 (from Seed), five days after topping and one day after LST. They will be going into their 3 gallon pots this weekend.

I will be post some questions later.

Such an AMAZING job and work. It shows the care and polish in your hands. Im excited for you because we have those qualities in common. Plus Im going on my fourth week too. And got the surprise of life. My girls are fiesty at 25 days. But we're same from growing. HOWEVER.... Remove the tape immediately because the Stamatas CANT BREATHE thus Never comprimise any health of the plant that is of NO benefit. Are you planning on doing another month of veg? If so, because they did a full term month in those small pots, id transplant in 2 gallon pots for a more mature root system establishment. Then id transplant to 5g for flower. See I transplanted at 2weeks into 1 gallon smart pots and they laughed at me and a week later they were coming out the sides and bottom so today i had to some quick thinking because I dont have money for pots until tomorrow THANK GOD...LOL So I had to put 2 in Save-A-Lot bags doubled up. I was beyond stressed... But the puckered right ip after i put them in extra Roots Organic and watered them really good and put the heat on them 80°F they told me its going to be ok... :) So tommorow i go to get my 3 gallon hard pots to make hole around the diameter to tie down and fim.. Man you just dont know. I had to tell the wife to borrow the money and when she said it was ok I was like yippy...lol But all in all it all good. So i wont top till the 14th which will be the first complete month. Then on the 14th of April I switch into 5 geeters and enjoy flower....

If you pinched the main colas then the shoots will do their thing naturally. Also if that is the hight or space of your lights bring them doen at about 3-4 inches or close enough for light penetration. With moving fans out of the way. For light to get to the lower shoots.
