Looks good man, maybe start getting a grow box or room setup. And my biggest advice is: DON'T OVERWATER! That's what really messed my first grow up. Good Luck

Yeah i have somewhat of a grow box set up in a rubbermaid tub. I eventually want to build a cabinet but i'm on a low budget. But it seems to be working well for young sprouts.

take a pop can and use it as a reflector around the bulb to distribute your light better... it looks like the biggest is right under it while your tiny sprout is hardly near the light... your plants are going to try and grow to the source of the light so i suggest arranging the plants around the light source better, but still try the pop can reflector too...

Yeah ive been considering a few different ideas for reflectors.. I had a DIY reflector out of aluminum foil.. yeah i know not the best thing. and it didnt really make a difference so i took it off. but using a can sounds like a good idea.
