The plants
I started my first grow on June 30th after being inspired by Jethro's grow setup Here. I started these from some seeds that came straight from the bottom of the bag. I can tell by looking at their growth that they are a few different types of strains. They were planted in 8 16oz cup filled with some time released miracle grow that says it can feed the plant up 3 months. After 3 weeks they were in need of a transplant because the roots were sticking out the holes in the bottom of my cups. They range from 7in tall to a lil over 3.5in, so I think I waited a little bit to long to transplant them and might have stunted there growth. I plan on taking half of them out because there going to be males and that will leave more room for the others to grow.

The setup
I painted the Rubbermaid walls inside two layers of black and two layers white and have 2 fans blowing in and one fan blowing out hot air. The temperature of the air blowing out during the day is 89 degrees. I am using 5 26 watt CFL bulbs (1700 lumens each) and one 25 watt sunlight bulb (Light output 1471 lumens). They are on a timer that is set to 18/6 hour day and night. Then I plan on changing it to 12/12 when the time is needed. I also have a 20oz paintball tank and i would like to have it setup so it could provide the plants with a constant flow of co2.

As you can tell by the title that I am new to growing and would like some advise as my grow comes along. So any suggestions, helpful hints, or questions would be appreciated.
-Thanks, Zilla.
