that's glorious!
you might wanna try side-lighting with a couple more CFLs per side, so 4 in all.
Home Depot has 120v outlet (2-prong) to medium-base (CFL-size) socket adapters for like $2
and those extension cords with 3 outlets on the female plug, you know, they have two outlets on one side, and one outlet on the other end?
grab a couple cords and 4 adapters for like $10, and some 5000k bulbs and your plants will be grand and ready for flower in no time
or they might be ready already, how tall is your box?
Blessings!!

Hey thizz that looks good ... how do you like the nutradip gear mine is on the way !!
From what I have learned in theory/practice, is that your PH is dialed in 100 % for your application aka deep water culture , my phenotypes grow very fast in veg in that range.
The difficulty lies in keeping it there as the nuts are consumed (without adding 2 much of stabilizers)... so constant PH is paramount.
In my case, as per the strain I grow (phenotype) the ladies hate the heat ...85 would screw them up ... I have learned the hard way.
(Please forgive me if I am telling you stuff you might already know ... I don't know your experience)
So if you can dial it constant at +/- 1 (80) that might help .... but that pertains to my strain .... and thermal dynamics in the grow room.
I also had to purchase a portable air conditioning unit to achieve this. So in a small stealth you might have no options.
Also, there is two types of heat .... ambient and radiant heat.
To have ambient at constant, through the light cycle is one thing but ... one must also take into consideration the radiation generated from the lamp used. I am taking about the distance the lamp is suspended over MJ. And this will depend on the wattage u are using at the time.
So in essence, you can have ambient temp at lets say 80 constant .... with fans going (this is good to keep the air from stagnating and for the movement of co2).... but in reality, if you set up your light to close ... the tops will get way more heat .... past the 85 mark .... effecting the growth.
Please forgive me if this tit bit is redundant as you might know this already.
I pulled up a chair and will be watching.
One more thing ... what strain are u working on here .... I would like to be able to taste it as I glance at your pics.
Cheers

Is the only reason you don't use HID lamps because of the stealth (and heat) factor?

Yes I just don't have room right now. I have 800 watts of mh/hps but no space.
