I am new to growing in fact this is my first grow. i am using a rubbermaid tub 29"L x 20"W x 16"D and lined with heavy duty aluminum foil with 5 cheap wally world 24" grow strip lights that claim 17 watt input 75 watt light output but all the bulbs are 20 watt full spectrum putting out about 4000 lumens i think with a 4"cpu muffin fan for air circulation. i have 6 plants that are about 3 an a half weeks old and i topped em an bent all the branches down and ran em along the ground and letting the tops grow up towards the light. when they get too close to the light i just shape em some more. i have tons of beautiful looking leaves except for what looks like dried out brown tips on some that extend down the ridges of a couple and it looks like i have alot more plants than what i do. i have been in to 12/12 light/dark for 3 days but i didnt know to shut the lights of for two days before i started the 12/12. i would greatly appreciate ANY advice anyone would like to give on any part of my setup.....thanks very much in advance
