I now have 8 x 6500K daylight CFLs and 1 x 2700K warm CFL...I have 6 of the 8 Daylights on a 3 Light bathroom fixture with y adapters, the other two have their own 8.5" Reflective hoods, and same with the Warm cfl. I have them about 2.5" from the top of the 12 seedlings in a 2ftx2ftx4.5ft box painted inside with matte white paint and a 6" fan extracting air from the bottom with three 2sq inch holes on top for fresh air inlet...any advice to help my grow box or do you think it will work as is, slowly eliminating the weaker plants down to the last two??

well between the hieght footage you will lose due to the lights and the pots how much actual grow space will you have. then make sure you flower when they are real short so they will have enough room to finish. i say i would flower when they are no more that 5" tall. I flower one batch i had at 8-10 inches and they grew to a final hight of 5.5' of actual plant growth not including the pots and light

also you need to but dont have too extract the air from the top and blow air into your box from the bottom cuz heat rises and also your "heat" i.e. the lights are on the top part of your box, or will be very soon. what you have now is sucking the cold air out at the bottom of your plants and pulling the hot air around the lights down through your grow box
