Also picked up two daylight cfl's (red spectrum) and one soft white (blue spectrum) for veg. want to go out tomorrow and get a computer fan with an ac plug and fit it into the top of my grow box. all is coming well. Also planning on drilling a small hole into the bottom of the box so that new air can filter into the box and be pushed out through the top. any suggestions are greatly appreciated

it should be fine, i have 14 lights, and it gets pretty hot in there, no thermometer, but you can tell by putting your hand in there

So today i cleaned out the tank and added 6.0 ph water with bonitcare organic grow.. hoping something is going to start happening soon. i guess i should probably post some pics but i get lazy and i'm not completely positive how to do it. but anyway one of them actually choked itself around the seed casing.. once i opened up the foam and touched it, instantly fell off. since then it has start to grow roots outward but what do you all think? is it gonna be stunted and screwed? the other one has actually fimed itself, no kidding, it is actually starting to grow 2 pedistals on each side. i will try and get some pics on soon but till then..
Temp: ~67-72 F
Water Temp: ~74-82

Finally!, Went to my local hydro shop and picked up some ph down as well as some mylar, got it all hooked back up and ph is on 6.0 Hoping things will turn for the better here in the next couple days. Hoping the mylar will help with humidity.. mine is staying low... around 26-30.. any help is greatly appreciated.
Here are some pics sorry for taking so long...
