Im growing 2 auto flowers, 1 skunk automatic (freebie) from white label seed co and 1 trans siberian from auto seeds. I have 4 42w cfl 2700k in a 4way splitter and 2 small fans from walmart. Im expecting im gonna need more light im just wondering whether i should just stick with 2700k n keep the lights close or go n get some 6500k bulbs.

Maybe a 1 to 3 ratio of 6500k to 2700k for flower, and the oppisite for veg. So 1 Blue to every 3 orange or vise versa. Then again there auto flowers so I would'nt worry about it to much if you don't have any right now. As you add light, maybe get a 2 pack of 6500ks and mix them in. This is my setup in the exact same lighthouse hydro tent also with 2 autoflowers. (OO Seeds Auto Bubblegum and World of Seeds Northen Light x Big Bud Auto) God i love this little tent, you made a right smart purchase, now learn to make the most with it. Consider figuring out how to vent the tent to at least outside of the closet and look into a filter...

No 6500ks mixed in here though, I broke one on accident and forgot to put the other in, oh well. Ideally you would want at least a few 6500ks to round out the spectrum.

Very good looking grow, ...but a reflector may assist in better light management ...?

Aye it probably would but im also thinking the heat it will trap, especially with all 14 bulbs going later on for flowering.

Will probably try and make to 2 reflectors, 1 for each side to run over the lights but leave the middle open for the heat in the future.

Yea that looks awesome man good stuff, i have to heat lamps i could throw in there and just take off the reflectors and put a Y splitter in each so i could add 4 more bulbs which would equal 8 in total. Im runnning 42 watters so i think eight would be enough for 2 autos in this little tent. I have some pics of my fans right now i plan on upgrading my whole ventilation system come the next grow but as of now this is what i got

That small fan you have blowing on your plants is what i have in my 6" vents, one blowing in and one blowing out, smell isnt much of an issue and i leave the windows open in my room with a 20" box fan in the window and my closet door open for most of the day so my ladys could get some fresh air, the skunk auto seems to be doing very well right now and the trans is doing well too just stretching a little bit, im gonna get some more bulbs this weekend and hang some lights directly over the tops of each one, my house is fairly small and kind of old so i dont wanna blow a fuse running 14 bulbs a bunch of fans etc etc
