I have just started my first closet grow i have grown outdoors b4 but because of getting my own place i can try out my indoor journey.
i have lined the interior of the closet with aluminum foil and i had two GE reveal 150 bulbs inside but i took one out because it seemed to hot.
i started about two weeks ago and i have 3 small plants starting to grow 1 is showing 2 actual marijuana leaves and the other 2 are still looking cloverish.
i am watering 1 time a day right before the light turns on(bought a brinks timer) is this enough or not enough? am i using ok lights? they seem to be very healthy so far.better than most of my old outdoor grows.

Wrong kind of light. You need to do away with those lights. Plants with stretch and really never grow. If you are having problems with heat I would suggest the compact fluorescent bulbs. The aluminum foil is ok but if you have white walls I wouldn't worry to much about it. Mylar would be best though.

when your plants are in vegitative growth i would recomend get a cfl with a blue light spectrum (6400K) and when they are ready to going into flowering i would recomend switch ing to a red spectrum (2700K)
