So the two c99 are a little over a week into flower. The other free seed just starting showing signs and it is a female, so 3/3 of my seeds came out female!
Finished the cabinet and got my 250 watt hps inside. Trying out vertical for now, temps with the air and fans are in the low 80's but they tend to fluctuate depending on how I position the doors in the closet.
I'm not sure if I should try the light without the cooltube? I know it would save space but I'm not sure if it would get much hotter? I'm planning on make some more exhaust holes at the top and putting some pc fans in them. The tube itself is warm but won't burn if it's touched.
Here are some pictures of the current setup and plants.



Some of the leaves are clawing, I'm thinking it was from when the temp went up? For their most recent watering I've started them on not even 1/4 strength of FF Open Sesame. I plan on getting the other two from fox farms once they start budding more.
Any suggestions for cooling/positioning or clawing?
