Hey guys/girls

So here's a Lil info.. friend had some plants they started to look good.. they started to flower and for shits and giggles I grabbed a few cuttings. was nervous becuase they were in flower stage but not much to loose for free clones.. so i had a small wood box room built and a 300w led (40w at wall).. used to start them off.. they are in a DWC system. the first couple weeks they took off and roots are really strong and hanging in the solution now..
I guess they are 4 weeks old in the box and I just updated to a new mars2 700w led really light lol so hoping they react to it..

Two point. five questions (I'm newb)

1. Are you growing those plants in stones instead of soil? What is that?
2. What is the film you're using on the walls?

Yes those or stones.. no soil.. and the walls are a Styrofoam with foil coated on them to help reflect light

50 rh is okay for veg. are you moving more air than needed? transpiration will raise your humidity if you move less air. depends how hot your led is.

what 300w equiv led draws 40w? mind linking?

I've never used leds, but I would definitely consider lowering them quite a bit. Like to maybe a foot or so from the tops of the plants.

Alrighty well it's been one week since the new light.. the girls are looking thicker now and very happy I'm pumped with the turn out.. maybe another week then switch to flowering wondering.. how much will they grow once I switch them? I'm not 100% becuase these were kinda just given to me in a bunch but thinkin 1 was called bsh #1 the other was royal kush..

Yeah I think that needs to be a good foot n a half closer. Plants will stretch for the light if its too far away.

Looks really far away to me. Don't take my word for it. I'm a noob. Might just be that my light is just over a foot away.
