whats the temp at the tops of your pots with the lights on? if thats 66 thats too cold, by a good bit.
"ideal" range is supposed to be 85 daytime 70 at night, but as long as you don't go over 85 lights on or under 60 lights off you ought to be alright. not that either one will make your plants shrivel up and die overnight, just outside the range

if the floor is cold it would probabaly help in general to get your pots off of it, i use old gym mats cut to fit between the bottom of the tent and the liner pan, you can use 2x4s or insulation board, just anything to keep your roots from getting as cold as the floor

Yeah she's kinda getting neglected since I'm in between stages. I put her roommates in the flower room 2 weeks ago so I thought I'd save some electric and put a t5 on her instead of keeping the 600w mh running just for her so not much heat being generated there. I have an oil filled electric heater that I think I'll put in there on low and see what that does. I've got some babies that will go in with her in a couple of weeks and I'll flip on the 600w. That will help for the 18 hrs that its on and hopefully the heater can maintain the rest.

I don't think I can check the roots since its in cocoa. I got it up off the floor. That makes the most logical sense. I'll update in a day or so. Thank you!

Cocoa or Coco? Cocoa is usually sold as a mulch and smells like chocolate, I once tried to grow in it and it was a failure due to there usually is a "harmless mold" that grows within it. The mold is far from harmless my plants would not root into it. I have heard of it being used as a hydro medium but I know nothing about it.

If it is Coco Coir then disregard everything I said.
