moved them out of the way of the fan...
from seed... bagseed...
I have plenty of drainage in my cups got about 25-35 size 4 drill bit holes in the bottom inch and a half of the cups....
I water about every 36-48 hours... after the soil dries for about 4 hours, to let the roots search... I have a PH/moisture level/ light monitor and my PH has been a tad high... maybe 7.6-7.8 in the soil...

Any more thoughts?

FFOF can be a bit hot out of the bag for young plants. I should grow through it. and also as mentioned get those room temps under 80.

ph, heat as stated above, over water possibly, and that fan isn't doing any harm as long as its not blowing like 100 mph

I think you should look into the heat too...my plants started to get like that. You should move your intake fans to exhaust and run a passive intake and see what it does for your temps. :)

i moved my box to a window, and switched 2 of the fans at 2 in the afternoon with no ac/heat on my box was at 76 degrees 2 inches from lights.... and colder everywhere else....
here she is 24 hours after adding some lemon juice to drop ph, and improved the temps... I had her tied over(LST) for 2 days and shes already growing new splits... ...

Yep the fans will make your plants sturdy and will most likely keep the heat away from her. As long as the heat isn't behind the fan. I would try lowering you ph in incraments though to see if they green up. Thats easy it'll take a week you can also check the run off from the bottom of you cup (water slowly) it'll tell you how much the ph is in the cup if its getting higher or lower sitting in the cup.

The roots are gonna cook and turn green in those clear cups. Before I did anything else I'd put them in some opaque containers.

They are green transparent, the green tint doesnt allow any useful/harmful light through it... I've tested with light meter and read up on different sites, as well as have friends using this technique with great success... I would never use a plain clear cup though, it lets too much light in...

But, the transparent green is great for the fact you get to see your roots crawl, and its easier to tell when to transplant them for me...

I'll see if my camera will show the roots through the cup or not... If it does I'll post some pics to show how nice, thick and white my roots are getting!
