Hello.... i'm new to this so please go easy w/ me. thanx for any replies in advance.
1. i have 3 plants (don't know what species of seed).
2. i have 4 cfl's= 3 are 42watt 1 is 25watt. for 42 watt i have brand Eiko= w/ 2700k, lumens= 2800. 2nd 42watt cfl is brand- TCP Spring Light (soft white), lumens=2600, color temp=2700k. 3rd 42watt cfl is brand- Energy Wiser; soft-daylight, w/ 5000k, lumens=2640. the 25watt is brand-Sunlight.....lumens=1495 but does not have the color temp...guessing low. All 3 42watt are spiral....25watt is tubes.
Space is relatively little....say, maybe, 2ft x 2ft. or 3ft x 3ft.
Soil= miracle grow..all purpose w/ perlite etc. ( i think it's pretty good to start)
food= DR. Earth 4-4-4 probiotic organic used as a tea or alone w/ water. also worm-casting.
i do have shultz african violet 8-14-9. i probally should not use b/c it's for acid loving plants. but it high in p. It was free so i only used a tiny drop from the liquid dropper.
Water- distilled spring water
fan= to circulate the air & strenghten stem. and i have a smaller (like desk fan) i put near the plants as exhaust for any heat the cfl might give off.
plus i have air purifier w/ a U/V button
to kill airborne germs, bacteria, cig. smoke etc.
How is that for 3 plants? im using the metal clamp reflector too. it's been about 3 weeks.
here is another pic 
ANY ADVICE, SUGESTIONS, OR HELP would be greatly appreciated. sorry 4 the elementary questions. again thanx in advance.......joey
