hi guys , its my first grow and i need your help. I use my closet as a grow box for my 2 plants that are 2 days old(liberty haze, ultraviolet auto and i will add my super lemon haze when it pops up). I have 8 clfs 26w, i made with tin foil something like reflector, i use 3 pc fans for ventilation, i leave my closet open because its summer and i got heat issues and because i got no intake and exhaust fan and i got some questions.
1) Do i have to add all my 8 bulbs from now?
2)I now use 2-4 bulbs depending on the temperatures because the temperature reaches up to 90F during the day and i keep them 6 inches away from the top of my plants.Do i have to keep them closer?
3)I got 2 thermometers check them into the fotos, which one should i trust?
4)Do i have to make an other reflector because i think that this one raises the temperature.
5)Can i transplant them into 5 gal pots directly?
6)I will use biobizz fertilizers, the feeding charts that company made tell that i have to start using fertilizers at the 2nd week, what do you recommend?
7)I got big bud fertilizer, when do i have to start using it and how?
Check the fotos and tell me your opinion.Thank you

Answers..
1)No,4 for the first 2 weeks is ok
2)No,6 inches is good enough(that's what my wife says!)
3)Do they they work?Buy a mercury thermometer
4)Yes,that foil does reflect heat...for the walls white posterboard is a cheap alternative,painting flat white is optimal
5)Yes,give them a few weeks in the cups first to grow a good rootball
6)Go by their recommendations....I recommend 1/2 strength
7)Dont use it until after flowering begins,as per the directions on the bottle;)

the thermometers work but there are in different positions(check them at the fotos), which one hsould i trust more?
 
They are just sprouts. I'm using 2 23watt cfls for now, until they start to explode. Try getting a windshield reflector they are super cheap and my cab doesn't get hot at all. I believe foil does keep the heat in.
