Yeah the plants can not see green so I use them and do my clean up when lights are out.
Nice room though.

Technically they do not use the green color spectrum, hence it does not disrupt the photoperiod.

I would take the plastic off. They might get too much moisture and drowned. I keep my veg 24/0 from seed. My Violater Kush is 4' tall now and has 9 days left before it can go into 12/12.
Thanks for the tips. I did turn the lights off the first night for four hours, but since then I've been going 24/0. I did remove the cellophane that same night...soon as the seeds popped through. I was thinking of lowering the light a bit now since they've all popped. Lowered the light...it's now 18" above plants and put my hand under and no problem at all heat wise...18" okay? Here's some updated pics...

Nice setup man. Def. going to keep my eye on this thread. Subscribed.
One thing you might want to consider though once the plants grow a little. I would take the mylar out from under the plants, the reflection on the underside of the leaves tends to have an adverse effect most of the time. Anyone else agree?
Either way, good luck man!!

and
I have the light at exactly 15" above the plants. I've tried it lower, but it seems too warm on my hand, i don't wanna burn the plants. ??
I read in George Cervantes' book that you should "put mylar everywhere...floors, walls, ceilings".
Let's see what other peeps have to see about light height and mylar........anybody??
Here's some latest pics....

Nice setup bro! 5-7 inches is wayyy to fucking close for seedlings unless you're running a cooltube or something. Keep it at the height you have, and if they start looking lanky then try lowering the light. As far as the mylar concern that, too, is not a problem. I personally prefer to use flat white paint. Reasoning dor this is the ease of cleaning. Once mylar gets dirty is damn near impossible to clean and a pain in the ass.
