Hi I have one bagseed in a 9inch pot with MG soil. I have two 42watt CFLs directly over the plant and 8 26watt CFLs around her and the bulbs. I have a humidifier in the closet that I am growing it in. The closet is 3foot by 3foot ceiling is about 6ft. I have the lights hanging directly over the plant. Humidity is staying at 60%. Temp though around the plant is 100!!!!! I have a large fan blowing directly on the plant and bulbs but temp wont go down.....also it looks like she is turning yellow but I cant really tell because I am color blind. I am posting pics please help......................

Little babies don't need that much light in suck early stages. Like mine is two weeks old and it still has 2x26w CFL's on it. It is doing great.
So I recommend that you just take out a few lights and slowly add them in throughout the grow.

Thanks guys your advice is taken. Should I use just one hood with the 2 42watt bulbs in it or the 26watt bulbs?? the 42watt have 6500k and 2700 lumens each. the others are 26 watt "daylight" bulbs and 5500k with a lumens of 1600 each......
 
u might as well use the 42watts because lumens dont add and the 26w ones are just uppin your power bill.
also it may be in your favor to start with smaller pots next go around. aside from planting outdoors , bigger pots with smaller plants generally create damp (a bugs paradise) and sometimes overwatered conditions.
