Guess my babies were gettin heat stroke lulz

I had em in a foil lined fish tank with the top open, and 7 cfl 26 watts hangin in.

it was 105 degrees lol.

I took em out and they are doin much better, just wont have the foil to reflect the light but oh well.

Here some updated pics, they are about 2 1/2 weeks old.

4th pic was the one who had heat stroke real bad. Its gettin better

Looking good there. .

Yeah don't use foil buddy.

Line the walls of your fish tank with white poster board, and you might want to look into investing in a fan to blow in the top of that, might help with some temp issues.

Good luck.

I totally disagree with foil having much to do at all with CFLs and heat. I use foil insulation, wall covers and tape made by Reflectix. I'd definitely make sure I had air coming and flowing through someway. Lose the CO2, lose the plant. Do you have a pic with them in the tank?

yeah here they are.

Im not gonna piss with the fish tank, i dont have money for a fan or a top for it atm (even wood to cover the top) Im gonna let em be free air, they seem to be doin fine.

Waitin on people to buy my dang stereo from another site then im makin that whole cabinet into a grow setup with a 400 watt HPS/MH setup some ducting and a fan.

I wouldn't give up on the tank. And BTW I think your plants look great. I'd get a small fan and put it on the bottom and a clip-on fan (or a couple each whatever you think) and face it down. I get my 6" fans at Walmart for $10. Fans will strengthen the stems. Unless anything changed since the pix, just add air and check temps. Good luck.
