looks good bro. cant tell how close the light are but I got my pretty close and had good results. probably was like 5 to 6 inches using flouresents like you.

get rid of the foil. will cause burns.

just my two cents. rock on.

judging by pigment color, should i be aiming torwards a dark lush forest green color? or a brighter neon color? these are bagseeds mind you.... what would you guys do with what im working with??

put a small fan on them and get mylar and the light looks a little up it should be close enough to the plant that if you put your hand between the two it should be warm and not hot

Sorry I'm not trying to jack your thread, but I just set up my first Hydro set-up in my closet, and wanted some feedback also, I have a 10G tank that I covered in cardboard to block the light, and a particle board with a hole cut for the pot that has riverbed gravel in it. The lighting is just temporary, going to go and get some fluorescents tomorrow, and the nutes are on their way. Right now there is just water and an aerator in the tank, no nuts yet. Is there anything that I should look out for? Along with this being my first Hydro system, it is my first time growing also, any help is much appreciated

Thanks

good call moving the lights closer. i would say make sure you have the proper veg and micro nutes. other than that, the strain will determine the pigment color indica=darker sativa=brighter

you should just make sure the leaves look healthy and that the babies arent stretching for light.

also put a fan in there to strenghten the stems :]]

lookin good man, i have a similar set up, you can check it out in my sig

Yes I also heard moving the lights closer to the plant is best about 2-3 inches away.
