Ya cfls' the whole grow.
I have an two extra 20 watters i'll be adding during flowering. So 1x125 and 2x20's.

No I meant both the 125s... I defiantly would. The blue would be excellent in flowering with all that red. Plus more light = more bud

nice looking seedlings stufbob

if i could offer one piece of advice - if possible use your third 120mm pc fan as an intake, you want to make sure your girls are getting lots of fresh air.

good luck with your grow

How'ya geelong! Ya that was the plan before i started but i was thinking when i do add the carbon scrubber there would'nt be any negative pressure. What do you reckon?
As it is now, with doors closed(tight squeeze) holding up a lighter to the intake it's instantly blown out...
