Looking pretty good, Are you using LED's or CFL's? and one thing you might want to think about if your using CFL is to isolate the CFLs and have a separate ventilation system them. it will help your plant in the long run by staying cooler, unless you can pump ac right into the box to keep it cooler. my box is 3' by about 20" deep 2.5' tall with 4 cfl that are isolated with a separate cooling system from the plants room temp is at 75 degree's box stays around 78-84. and the lighted isolated area stays close to 91

They sprouted and are growing pretty fast..Is it bad though that the very first leaves are kind of curling down on the top one? Any input would be appreciated.
