Newbie needs advice on setup

Alright, I have two bubble gum strain plants growing under a T-5 light setup. I started the plants from seeds and they are about a week old. They are planted in fox farm soil(ocean) and I have them on a 18/6 schedule. This is my first grow EVER and I just wanted to get some advice in the set-up and progress so far. I have also put a small fan next to the plants to have air flowing around/over them. Here are some pictures of my babies and the set-up. Any and all advice is highly appreciated.

Seedlings are looking ok but you wanna build or get yourself some type of cab to achive better growing conditions.

Thanks GL. I was wondering if I would need to enclose the plants or not. I have them in the basement now and I will look into building something in the next couple of weeks.

You should just run to your local home depot in the next day or so. That way you can control temps,humidity, and keep light in/out. They look good though man. Good luck and keep em green

Thanks Jonny C. What dimensions do you think and type of material? I am not sure if I should make a small enclosure or something big. I dont plan on having more than 2 plants growing at a time and will only be using the T5 for lighting. The grow is just for me, myself and I so a big plant is not for me.

if you are only growing two plants then a 3x3 foot wood frame thats 5-6 feet tall would work great for when you switch to buckets or whatever route you choose to go. Cover it with panda film (plastic with one black side and one white side) Then just staple it into your wood frame. you can buy zippers that will attach to the plastic for about ten bucks at most hydro stores.

As for ventilation you could use clip on fans or cut a hole in the film for an inline fan (much more expensive).
