Well, I had to unscrew the big 120 watt middle one for now, because it's way too hot for just one tub. But when I put the tubs together I'll build and extra exhaust and screw it back in. Otherwise the ventilation is keeping it pretty cool. Next time I go out I'm going to get a thermometer with a barometer so I can keep track of all that.

Well I got an emergency blanket at target today and lined the inside of my box. It was one hell of a project. I certainly didn't expect it to be so hard. But anyways I got it in and I don't know if it makes a difference yet, but we shall see.
Plants are coming along well. The ones near the passive intake seem to be doing much better than the ones farthest away, they're almost double size.
I also got a very nice birthday present in the mail today. My seeds finally arrived! Interesting packaging. Blue Dynamite made by Next Generation seeds.
Here are some pics
1. my box with the mylar
2. blue dynamite
3. the actual seeds in their odd packaging.

I just checked on my plants and I think things might not look good. One of my plants was almost completely fallen over. And another (the one which is my favorite) seemed like the leaves were curling under instead of sticking out like they were.
I know its not the temperature, because it's quite cool in the box, like slightly above room temp. The only thing that has changed is the mylar I put in last night, could this be doing something bad?
Another possibility is perhaps I'm watering it too much? I water them once a day... sometimes twice.. depending on how the soil looks.
Another thing, is I've been going 24/0 is it time to switch the light down to a more respectable schedule like 18/6?
HELP!
Heres a pic of the one I'm most worried about:

The lights arent that high off the plant, when the lid is closed they're within two inches of the plants. I just have the lid pulled up to take the picture.

So we're thinking overwatering is the culprit?
How often should I be watering them?
Also, when should I switch from the 24/0 light schedule?

Okay well, after worrying about them the other night, I chalk it up to overwatering and the newly installed mylar. So I didn't water them for about a day and a half, and they exploded! I mean ridiculously rapid growth. There are leaves shooting off in everywhich way. Its quite exciting.
My thermometer/hygrometer also arrived in the mail today, which is awesome. Its actually quite warmer than i thought it was. The temperature fluctuates between 80 and 84, but that is still in the acceptable range right? When I switch to the two rubbermaids I am going to get an inline centrifugal fan to facilitate the heat. The humidity is usually at 30ish, which is about 25% lower than the air in my apartment. Is this okay?
Also i just noticed that my thread has a -1... why would this be? I didn't think I offended anybody..
Well anyways, here are the promised pics:
1 This plant only had two leaves yesterday
2 These two were my favorite, but they were the ones that were affected most by the over watering, one is even needing to be held up.
3 just a view of all my little beauts
