Well It's Been 16 Days since My Very First Seedling Was Burned by My Light Fixture

How does she look? 22 days after breaking the soil:

It's an Easy Ryder, and it measures about 9-10 inches tall.

This is what it looked like a day or two after it was burned...

wow looking real nice is it a hard strain to grow im a bit of a newbie around here

thanks guys. I appreciate it. It's definitely been tougher than I imagined. I'm having some temperature problems now that I made some homemade carbon filters over my exhaust fans.

I originally had 4 26 watt CFLs on it, but now I only have 3 of them with the temp around 78-79 degrees.. Do you think this will still be sufficient?

for now ya from what i hear 70-80 degrees...mine are about same size but i use a 65w cfl and a 26w for the lower portion....they nearly touch and iv never had problems....did u burn them with ur cfls???

Yeah, my lights slipped down and I guess a bulb was sitting right on it for a few hours during the night...it burned about half of it. Thankfully though, it seems like it's doing good so far.

I really don't know how I can get my temps any further down. I have two intake holes at the bottom that are just freely letting air in. Then I have two 70 CFM PC fans blowing air out into the carbon filters...it was a little cooler without them but it was really starting to stink up my apartment.

u need an exhaust on top....that will help intake from bottom exhaust through the roof...trust me ull notice a difference

Oh I forgot to mention sorry...the exhausts are at the top. I really don't want to take those carbon filters off though. When I don't have them on it really really stinks.
