here is the specs on my 2nd attempt at a 100% flouro grow.

- 2'x4'x8'h closet, (2) 4' shoplights w/ 160w total, 24" box fan
-10 good seeds germinated till 1/4" tap root exposed
-planted in 18oz party cups with a 80/20 mix soil/perlite
-lights on 24 hours per day
- watered with distilled water and rotated under lights everyother day
-room runs constantly between 78-83F and 38-44% humidity
-accidental watering with a 50% nutrient mix during week 2
-leached cups w/ 32oz water 3 days later and pruned VERY few branches with
yellowing leaves
- all plants are approx 6" tall, 6th set of branches (not including seed leaves and first set of single leaf branches which were pruned)
-planing on moving to 12/12 flowering schedule between week 4 and 5, just ordered (2) 65w CFL Flourex Floodlights to use.

Any and all help is more than welcome and certainly needed

Welcome to the forum. Transplant them. Cut the lights to 18/6 and let them grow some good roots. They make bulbs for the four foot fixtures that have plant spectrums,$6.00 per bulb for full spectrum @ Menards. You need intake and exhaust to give the plants 'fresh air'. The CO2 gets depleted as they use it up. Sounds like a real good start. VV

i am going to transplant them today into their final containers, 2gallon. I try transplanting as little as possible for less stress on the plants and myself. I plan on letting them veg for another week before switching to 12/12. Besides the (2) 65w CFL floodlights (9000 total lumens @6700k), how much red spectrum light do i need to add for a good mix. Not as concerned about increasing the lumens, and grow show, right now as much as getting the right spectrum mix. Also, any problems w/ wiring the Flourex lights to a cut off extension cord so they can be plugged into a wall outlet??
