How much water are you giving them?

And btw, did you say HEAT lamp?
Those have no place in the grow room.
All they'd be good for is roasting the little buggers.

Get yourself some CFL's or even better a HID lamp and they'd be a lot happier.

Nah he said head lamp. lol, I agree you better go out and grab a bunch of cfl's at least for now, higher wattage the better, also take out the tinfoil and replace it with flat white paint, mylar, panda film, or if you're short on cash try some polywrap for gift wrapping, colored on one side and shiny on the other.

For one plant a couple 40 wattage should do for veg stage, however when you start to flower you'd want to ad more, the more cfl light you use the better, gradually upgrade as you can afford it as I am and your plant should be fine in the closet as long as you have a fan running and can manage to get fresh air in at least some of the time, also could you possibly round up some pictures of your grow space?

What I do in my room is leave a fan running 24/7 and open the doors at night when it's cooler, so far so good, check out the following link to see one of my ghetto cfl setups,

Also someone can correct me if I'm wrong but 24 oz of water every day could be a bit much. From what I've read you should saturate your soil every three days or so and leave a day or two in between watering so that the roots can get air. But at this point I have book knowledge not hands on experience so I could be wrong.

I use a hot tub ph kit, they contain easy to use strips that are color coded (read directions on package) you can pick up a ph kit at any hot tub/spa shop, walmart, lowes etc.

They say plants are grown best at 70 -75 f and the humidity I'd say keep around 50 -60 if possible but shouldn't let it get past 80, the lower the better and the yield is what you end up with at harvest.

K I got a temp thing, I put it in my closet, Temp with fan on reads, 76.3 degrees below it, It says 31% Which I believe is humidity. Is that good?
