First grow. 400w HID. Closet grow.

Hey guys, First time grower here, first attempt posting here.
I will post a picture of my setup tomorrow (currently in lights out period)

Here are some details of my grow and climate.
* Equipment
- 400w MH HID Light in 6" Cooltube Reflector.
- 160 cfm 6" Inline fan, used as exhaust.
- 8ft of silver duct work to connect cooltube to exhaust fan.
- 16" Oscillating fan mounted at top of room.
- 6" clip on fan, i use it to displace radiant heat from the cooltube.
- Humidifier.

* Grow
- Currently 2 plants at 2 weeks of veg. (17 days from germ) - Bagseeds
- Getting more seeds tomorrow, Bagseeds.
- Waiting for an overseas order of northern lights (1) think different (1) ak48 (1) all autoflowers.
The bagseeds are from some very impressive product, unfortunately i do not know the genetics.

* Climate details
- 225 sqft closet grow, 8ft Deep x 4ft wide x 7ft tall.
- Average lights off temp range 72-82 (high end is with humidifier on)
- Average Lights on Temp range 79-84 (usually around 81 all day)
- RH floats between 35%-55%. This depends on whether or not i choose to run the humidifier.

*Future planning
- I plan on upgrading my exhaust system, and adding a large carbon filter in approximately 2 weeks.
I plan on upgrading to a High Velocity 450cfm fan paired with a large carbon filter. (the 450cfm would replace my current 160cfm fan)
- I may use the 160cfm fan as a forced intake at the bottom of my grow room, currently i am using 2 6" passive intakes.
- Within a month i intend on getting a dimmable 1000w hps in a cooltube.

* I would like help with this first grow.
- Input on grow room design.
- Temperature/Climate control
- Plant diagnostics
- General advice

------------------------------

I am currently at week 2 of vegetative growth with 2 bagseed plants. One has been doing excellent since day 1, the other has had stunted growth and some leaf damage.

They are both in 3 gallon grow bags filled with Roots Organic Soil.
I have fed 1 time with 1/2 strength nutrients. The nutrient product was Roots buddha grow (8ml/gallon) This is the only nutrient i have added.
I transplanted these pots from 4x4x6 containers 4 days ago, there was minimal transplant stress.
Fimming occurred on both my plants 4 days ago. Both plants responded to the fimming, one has slow stunted growth.


I look forward to learning from the best. Thanks for taking the time to read and review the introduction of my first grow.
I will take some pictures of my current setup as soon as possible and get them up.
