Did you take the temperature of the soil yet?

I thought my reservoir water was too cold. Upon touch I guessed it was in the 50's but after adding a thermometer I found out it was 71 degrees.

If you can try to take your soil temp before changing anything I would do that. Your plant looks healthy to me. One of the biggest problems growers have it worrying and changing things when the plant was happy in the first place.

If it ain't broke don't fix it :)

15days old, and yes dont change unless its broke, but i belive i did have problems from the last bulb i used which was 65watt flood light and made my top leaves a lil yellow and so when i switched to the new lights yesterday i underestimated how the heat would drop so much from the last bulb so now i put about an inch high of aluminum foil around the pot, it shouldnt damage my plant right? since i am only using 2 75watt clfs equivelent to 18watts each
